wellup83 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Same old story. Wee bit of promise coupled with the usual arse collapse. It's the hope that kills you indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppower Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Unbelievable. They are down to 10 men and bossing the game. Is there a worse defender than Ojala??? Is there a worse midfield than ours. That's where we are losing the game. Clear out needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re a million miles away from where we need to be next season, shambles of a second half. Agreed,the second half has been shocking,to concede so early has set the tone.we seem to have real problems playing against 10 men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppower Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 We created nothing the whole game. Goal game from set piece. Spare man for the full second half and did zip. Sorry, not a spare man. We played like 11 spare pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamH Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 We’ve made this second half unbelievably easy for Rangers. As soon as Alexander said the players had been given a few days off I feared this type of half-arsed performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the hard work would be clearing his desk and taking a long long walk. Get someone in who knows how to set up a team. We are shapeless and clueless every game. The second half today was a disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 We were poor to a man. We pressed well for a bit, but it wasn't for anything because we were so bad on the ball. Our first touch was woeful, especially up front. Efford was the worst culprit in that regard, frequently giving the ball back to them. To lose that second goal so easily after the restart summed us up. We may have shown spirit this season by coming back so often, but that's usually because we've handed the opposition a soft goal. Carroll seems to have a habit of turning his back to shots. Don't know if that's a normal thing. I do that, but I'm not a professional defender.The penalty just wasn't. Embarrassing that the ref struck a pose, had a think, then realized it was his chance to even up the red card. Tierney, shields and Cornelius should get maximum minutes for the next four games to get them ready for next season. However, I'm concerned that the latter might just be a yard to slow for the role he has. Overall, we need to be less scared of the ball.Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie73 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Worst performance of the season for me in the second half, no heart or fight from any one in that team, looked like we were the side with ten men, second half tactics all wrong, should have went to back three and flooded midfield, Alexander must take the blame for this, too many players hiding today. Can’t see us taking another point for the rest of the season, players should be embarrassed turning in that performance, for me manager has to go and take the majority of this team with him. Only positive is we can’t go down, but it’s going to be a horrible two years if he stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 First half was decent enough but the second half was our biggest problem this season - not being able to defend. Losing a goal within 2 minutes of the restart against 10 men that should have been preventable has lost us the match. We've had 1 clean sheet in 15 matches and that's not good enough. Over the close season we need to completely revamp our back line and midfield because we are hopeless when the opposition has the ball in our half. Don't get close enough to people, don't make tackles, we press the ball in the opposition half but in our half we hand out invitations.

wellsince75 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 We struggled to raise our game against Livi to get in the top 6. We looked poor and it was the game that mattered, we only turned up in the final 20 mins. Didn't expect anything today in terms of performance, don't expect anything for rest of season. We are a hard team to watch, albeit made it into the top 6 due to Aberdeen and Hibs also being bags of shite this season. Hard to see how we're moving forward as a club at the moment.

grizzlyg Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Can we just give them points at start of season and save us going through that after every game. Will give review later once I have calmed doon a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT_1886 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Our squad has improved from last season but that says more about how bad we were then. The defence needs an entire clear out in the summer and we need to add to the midfield and attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red card and our leveller has this mob rattled, if we don’t beat them today then we never will! Blew our chance big time and sadly you may well be right!

Stevie73 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 How does the boy Ojala finish that game, he is slower than a week in the jail, Slattery sitting too deep because Ojala can’t step forward as he wouldn’t get back when we eventually lose the ball. Defensively we were rotten today, this team needs a massive clear out, we need triers not passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we are in the “one step back” phase and next season will be the “two steps forward” phase? I know, I know but I need to cling on to some hope. I know we are in top 6 which is a better position than last year but as you allude to, that’s ‘cause other teams regressed even more than we did.

mfc Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Our defence is a shambles,we've tried umpteen combinations all season but yet we don't have one partnership that looks solid.mugabi has improved this season but is going back the way the more he plays at right back,he looks completely lost against any decent opposition.if odonnell isn't going to be first choice next season he needs to be moved on and another player brought in that will,I just hope mugabi at right back isn't the long term plan.our options at left back are amateurish,to have both carroll and mcginley signed up for next season is a joke,carroll needs to be punted with a replacement brought in that will actually improve us in that area,going between two that are just as bad as the other isn't the answer.i thought we were decent earlier in the season at centre back but we look miles off it there,our distribution from the back is god awful,were all over the place when the opposition is running at through the middle.serious work is needed in the summer to improve our defence.i could rant about our midfield as well but I'll save that for another time.

MJC Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Absolutely pathetic second half showing. Created nothing and conceded two cheap avoidable goals. We need a full clear out of that squad in the summer, starting with Graham Alexander and no spawny top six finish should keep him in the post. We have been dismal all season and won ONE league match in 2022 and we are almost into May. That is unacceptable. Alexander OUT 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
