grizzlyg Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 I have the fear as we won't have a better chance and will actually be gutted if we lose. I just hope we perform to our best and don't freeze. Maswanhise on that huge pitch could be massive for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On it's own it means nothing, but their form - for a Rangers team - has been very poor so far. But I agree it won't be easy and we'll rightly go in to this game as underdogs. Our record, even against poor Rangers sides, is beyond awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 Clement's post-match here is quite the take. A bit delusional. That Behrami looks a good player and for some reason Jefte is popping in my head giving me the fear. The Rangers LB tonight was getting roasted by Shayden Morris. We don't have the ability ro press and control the game like Aberdeen I don't think, but we can certainly give them a game. More hope than expectation, but Bring it on. Hopefully Robinson can turn into some sort of Steve Kirk-esque cup specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 Rangers' results in Europe show they have a decent level of quality in the team but the players don't appear to be able to handle the pressure the fans and media put on them domestically so if we can stop them from scoring early I think they might crack again. I'm more confident now it looks like we won't be starting with SOD and Davor. We just need to hope some sort miracle happens with one of the strikers.

joewarkfanclub Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 Clement and Rangers under serious pressure. The Bears wont be doing patience on Sunday. We need to be in their faces from the start and show them we wont be bullied. Dont let them play and we might have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 I’d start Maswanhise and task him with constantly running at and through their defence from kick-off. Rattle them early and hope our striker(s) can feed off scraps. If we let them start well and take control, we’ve got no chance. That’s why we need to start fast and aggressive to not let them dominate possession. This will get their fans on their backs early, which is exactly what we need. It’s in our hands to take the initiative and win this game. But, if we start with Robinson up top alone, we might as well all go home early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 Is there still tickets for this? Usually don't go to games against Biggot brothers due to being bad influence on kids but may go to this as kids older and aware of sectarian prejudice.

mio Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 We can’t let them settle and take control of the game. As players their nerves will be jangling after that Aberdeen defeat so we need to be in their faces from the off and just try and keep possession of the ball. dont like to get over excited but we do have a chance here. I’m not sure whether I want chief zombie clement fired now or him kept for Sunday. My gut is for him to stay and we’ll be his final nail in the coffin.

Richie Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 I would prefer Clement to stay. New Manager bounce and all that. They clearly aren't fully turning up for him and there is probably a bit of dressing room discontent there at the minute. Its still a tough ask, but not insurmountable. If we take the lead their fans will turn on them and I'm not completely sure of their character. Its not like they have a Barry Ferguson, a McGregor, or even I guess a Jimmy Bell in the background to put a rocket up them. Hopefully its another "Disappointed" post-match quote from Tavenier. Need a strong performance (and a strong ref) though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Never saw whole game last night so not sure how individual players done but if Seddon and Wilson looked comfortable then I would go with below assuming SOD is injured. I also feel Halliday experience will be needed. Ox Casey. Gordon. Balmer Kaleta. Seddon Miller. Halliday. Wilson Stama. Maswanhise We also have options on the bench fir example Sparrow to replace Halliday when he reaches blowing oot his behind after 60 mins. We will never have a better chance but we need to be on top form and can't allow Gers to dictate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But SK obviously rested Halliday last night as he intends to play him on Sunday so you are probably not far away with that. I hope its not going to be a return to Davor and Halliday in the middle with Miller further forward again, as that would be a step back imho. I think the last 2 games should have shown SK how important legs and energy are in midfield the way we set up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Can see this being a “brave effort” type of game on Sunday as we lose narrowly. Rangers losing a game right before we are due to play them never ends well for us and I think we’d need to score at least twice to have any chance as we will concede as well. Going for a ‘gallant’ 2-1 loss and their winner to come from a late penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Be interesting to see what starting 11 and formation/tactics SK starts with on Sunday. He certainly has options after some good individual performances last night. I would think Manhaswise has played himself into starting 11 thru the middle (can always move home wide if we bring Moses on) Wilson showed very well in Midfield.

pretzel Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Nick Walsh is the referee for this. For every free kick he gives us in the final third of the pitch I'll donate £20 to charity. We sat off them at Hampden earlier in the season and conceded early. When we put more attacking emphasis on them in the second half we caused plenty of problems but a great save denied us a point late on. I know it was a closed door friendly but we pumped a strong Gers side on the international break over a month ago. Aberdeen showed us last night what to do, the side contain the likes of Barron, Souttar, McAusland et al some absolute guff compared to the quality we have beat convincingly in the past.

Miller and halliday 2 sitting midfielders with wilson slightly forward on left and maswanhise closer to apstam on right. If sods is fit he will play instead of balmer I think. They still have better players than us but they are certainly fragile and other than celtic our other 3 defeats have only been by 1 goal so I am certainly expecting a really tight game. Wee maswahanise and miller can certainly provide match winning moments so I'm as confident as can be expected but still realise we could lose quite easily. Will be a great day and hopefully great game if we can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
