Frankie 8,183 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Scoring goals for Rangers would be much harder than scoring for Motherwell No idea how you come to that conclusion. I'd suggest playing for Rangers comes with its own very different challenges and expectations but, for a striker, you would expect more chances so it would very well be easier to score for us than Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,183 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I know I am picking on only one line Frankie but I think that is very harsh. Yes, Wes made a couple of fantastic saves - but so too did Sampson at the other end. Both teams could have scored 3 or 4 in the 2nd half but for some excellent keeping - so to suggest that without Wes it wouldn't have paid off is to ignore the contribution made at the other end by their keeper. It was interesting, exciting and nerve-wracking - but the tempo we had in the 2nd half was excellent - you kind of got the feeling that the "front 6" were like "shit, we only have one defender - we need to press high to keep Motherwell on the back foot and keep the ball in their half" - to the extent that we saw a much improved tempo and determination it worked. However, tempo and determination should be two requisites in ANY game and always from the start. Shouldn't need to be down 1-0 at HT or have 3/4 of your defense removed to see a reaction. The same way that the 1st game didn't really show us what Pedro can do, neither did this one. He will need 4 or 5 games and 6 weeks or so to even just start to stamp his authority on this squad - and even then..... if you are dealt lemons sometimes it is incredibly difficult to make lemonade from them. At the end of the day he still has the same players at his disposal that MW was getting very little from. He needs at least a couple of windows to be able to bring in the players that he wants in his system. To me the changes were OTT and Senderos should have came on. However, I did acknowledge the positives of the subs and we could easily have won the game given the chances we did create as a result of a more offensive setup. On the other hand, Wes made a superb contribution and 'Well were also wasteful outwith those saves and I'd argue created more than us because we were so open. One half of me enjoyed the subs but the other half of me seen them as an unnecessary risk. No matter, it was certainly different and exciting for sure so I'm not complaining too much. With Hill, Wallace and Wilson all out for Wednesday according to the official site, one wonders what is in store for Rugby Park!? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as we've signed many from outwith Scotland that have also failed or done well. Swings and roundabouts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think we have to show a bit more ambition than Louis Moult somehow. Especially if we're to sell ST's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 [tweet]848890483514519554[/tweet] will Wilson & Tavernier be available ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny3k 506 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Should we not be looking at a better calibre player than Moult? Scoring goals in the SPFL proves nothing *cough* *cough* Kris Boyd (1st time around) Or the flip side would be..... "We need someone that can score goals in the SPFL.... Moult does that with an unfashionable team - so he is proven in this league" ? Couldn't agree more... I don't feel he would be expensive and would be a valuable option to have, even if just as a squad player 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny3k 506 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 will Wilson & Tavernier be available ? I believe Tavernier was just suspended at the weekend so I would expect he will return to the starting line-up and Hodson will probably move to cover Wallace's absence 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have an admission to make. When Kenny Miller threw in that cross for the Garner goal I was in the middle of shouting. " Och Miller ya diddy what kind of ball is that." When the ball hit the net from Garner I was amazed and felt pretty stupid. I think the other 44k bears were saying the same in their heads if not out loud. The guy behind me stood up and hurled abuse just as Garner scored. He didn't take much stick for it because we all knew we were just as guilty. To be fair, it looked like he mis-hit the cross. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
