thepundit Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Unfortunately I have to agree with the 'Well fan. How do you win leagues by scoring last minute winners against relegation fodder?.... The team are going to have to do much better than that to achieve anything this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 That was poor today, really poor, but will take the result, stolen sweeties and all that! We were terrible across the middle first half, our lack of tempo and zip going forward looks so easy to defend against. McKay, Rossiter and Halliday all ineffective and if Barton thinks he can get away with that sort of sloppy performance, he's in for a big shock against better teams than Motherwell. No disrespect to them btw, they came to do a job and almost deserved a point. Still not convinced by Kiernan & Wilson pairing but pluses perhaps for Tav, Wallace, Miller and MO'H when he came on. Kranjcar clearly makes a difference, but there's no way we are going to get a full season out of him. May seem a negative post after an exciting late win, but we're going to have to play far better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything is biting us on the arse it seems to be that. We aren't capable of defending a lead as we don't have the players, the savvy or arguably the fitness for it either and if your gameplan is to drop deeper and deeper as the game wears on then you are going to concede goals, especially with that blunderbus Samson between the sticks. I'm not interested in hard luck stories, or the usual patronising guff from folk about us being 'brave' that no doubt the Sunday papers will describe us being today, that was 'Rangers' in name only, they are not a side awash with full international players like they were in the past, they are a side that will be lucky to be top four this season and dare I say it, a side that we should be looking to take points off. For us to do that however, we need to look beyond their jerseys and realise that they are bang average, and stop shitting ourselves every time we look at them.

We'll do ok, we're used to breaking down defensive teams and keeping possession until we get a breakthrough. McDonald being unmarked is worrying tho, boots up the backside required there. We've enough strength to be in the top four I reckon, I reckon we'll see changes to the team once we get Holt, windass, waggy etc back fit.

The movement, fluidity, unpredictability isn't there in Holt's absence. Expectations of a top 4 finish are too low in my opinion. When you're paying four or fives times the salary of every non Celtic team only a 2nd placed at the very worst finish would be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwithme Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 A deserved win for Rangers in the end. Hard luck Well who made it tough for us. We were pretty poor in the first half but much better later on especially with the introduction of Kranjcar's creativity. Hopefully he'll get fit enough to start. Maybe Garner will also help e.g. by getting on the end of some of the crosses we put into the box these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobWilliamson Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Is it like this after Rangers win? Rangers posters apologising and slating the team that thoroughly deserved all three points. Motherwell went 1 up against the run of play with the aid of a very close off side call. Rangers continued to completely dominate the game until the 93rd minute and got the winner their play dserved. Not interested in wage budgets. We are in the same league and it is up to Motherwell to look after themselves. They defended well enough and had one fantastic last ditch goal saving tackle on Halliday and got away with a blatant push on the same player as he was about to head in from a couple of yards out. Seems Bobby Maddens one man crusade to cut this sort of thing out doesn't apply when Rangers players are fouled. Anybody who thinks this Rangers team will struggle to be top 4 is kidding themselves on!! Oh and where were the Motherwell support? Peterhead brought as many for a midweek cup game FFS!!

BobWilliamson Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Our greatest of clubs was used by criminals for a few years but unlike any other support we stood together and won our club back. We didn't go begging to any other local clubs to keep our doors open and the lights on like a certain club from Maryhill. Next time Thistle get into trouble you know where we are. I wasn't actually looking to provoke anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
