VagabondJambo Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I am so proud of my team this afternoon! For much of the match, we showed fight, defended well, and gave Rangers problems. Not particularly an Uche fan, however he was immense - and so was Smith. No failures, no disappointing performances, everyone played a part (yes, folks, that includes Clare - for goodness sake, stop the undeserved barracking!). Yes, Hickey was a bit raw first half, but more comfortable second half. Love Meshino, and know he will be important for us as we climb the league. We will! Let’s move on from the past and get behind the boys in maroon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I was more thinking of the organisation/attitude angle but Craig Levein should know by now what's required to break teams down. Don't want to get all Levein in/oot, however; rather just be content that he got a performance out of them today and hope that maybe, just maybe, he can repeat it next week.

jamboinglasgow Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Great performance by us, me made Rangers look ordinary. Players responding well to the criticism after the Kilarmnock game. Its funny I was dreading this game, felt all the signs were pointing to a Rangers hammering, but we showed first half how to get up for a game. Looking back now at our last 5 games, we have gone undefeated against Hibs, Aberdeen and Rangers. I would argue that we have improved over the 5 games (though Kilmarnock was an awful performance.) Still much to do be finally back going the right direction. Next two games need to show that the Rangers performance was not a one off.

No, we didn’t win today but perform like that every week and we will make top six easily, some can’t see that and will continue to have a go. Some of the comments aimed a White are horrific, “made of glass”? He prob got a broken nose/concussion from that baw in the face but he is a “shocking signing”...Jesus wept. I take heart from today’s showing but as Berra said at the end, we need to do it week in week out, not just the ’big’ games. Haring, Souttar, Walker and Naismith to return. Onwards and upwards.

portobellojambo1 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Went more in hope than any sort of expectation but pleased to get a point out of that game and by the performances of a few, especially Michael Smith, who was man of the match by a distance. Might have ended up even better if we had more to offer up front, but after a very good 25/30 minutes we sat off them a little bit towards the end of the 1st half. The 2nd half was more even and we deserved a point at least. Still think we are weak in one or two positions, once again today I thought both Mulraney and Clare could have offered a lot more. But what we have to do is build on today, it is probably more important that we get points off both Livingston and St Johnstone to start going in the right direction.

I'd agree in general, but I'll give Mulraney credit for keeping Tarvenier quiet. He could have done more in an attacking sense but "Tav" is one of their best attacking options and it helpef us nullify rangers threat there almost completely. Clare wasn't bad, but looks lost somtimes. Won lots of tackles, put in a shift and had a couple of lovely bits of skill. Still lacks confidence tho and positionaly poor. They brought on Defoe, Kent and Stewart. Our injuries not only hamper our first team but our ability to freshen it up during the match.

JFK-1 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Livi will be an entirely different proposition who will batter and kick everything that comes in kicking range. Everything except the ball that is. And that's not uncommon in this league which is exactly why having a bit of a superiority in quality isn't always going to be the key. Quality needs football being played to impose that superiority and football isn't what's played by the bulk of the SPL. Keep in mind one half of the OF got a narrow win there while the other half lost there so today is no indication of how that will play out. They both have a vast superiority in quality yet against that type of opposition it just doesn't always get the desired result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully today puts an end to any temptation to play 3 at the back again, a 4 is much easier for players to understand and it means we have 4 out and out defenders playing in defence. Today showed that setting up in a formation that is understood, putting in the effort and having a go (first half) should enable us to compete with any team in the league. Using injured players as a crutch breeds negativity as you are undermining the players on the park. A good point but a really cheap goal from a set piece again. The next 2 games present very different challenges. We have to go out and look for the win on Wednesday and take that momentum to Livingston which will be a tough game. Better today undoubtedly but we need to build on this point and go on a little run in the league. Edited October 20, 2019 by Jodami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
