I’m always gloomy ahead of Rangers’ games but there’s a feeling of Chesterfield about this one. Don’t tell,me I’m wrong because I won’t believe you ‘til they’re 4-0 up.

Chesterfield? Don'r remind me - I was there that night.?

Bassey putting in another decent shift, crossing much better too, it's just the rest of the team that need to get up to speed now.

It's fair to say, Lundstrum isn't having the best start to his Rangers career.

Lundstram is just so slow on the ball. Incredibly poor from him tonight. 

He had no need to make either challenge.

Woeful, no imagination, no pace, players well off it, slow and predictable - it's like watching a completely different team from last season. 

 

We should be dispatching teams like this (and Malmo), but something just doesn't seem right and hasn't seemed right since start of season.

Aside from a slightly better 10mins before Lundstram's crazy red card, that really was very poor.

 

Players seem well short of confidence and trying to force stuff that is never on - be it shots or crosses from areas that carry minimal threat.

 

Not sure how the 2nd half will pan out as I doubt Alashkert will change their game-plan much but we have to be better, a lot better if we at least want to take a positive result to Armenia.

First one I could understand, the second one was just plain stupidity after being caught on the ball (again).

 

Not sure what pace of game he thinks he's playing at but it's not the walking football he thinks.

SG sends on the inexperienced Lundstram (who sure didn`t cover himself in glory), he once more sends on Aribo and Kent hoping that they click. How often do we have to endure this trash of but one striker and fledgling attackers? Hagi on the wing is wasted, as we know.

 

I doubt that we will even notice the absence of Lundstram in the 2nd half. Wright should be on though, at least he knows how to beat a player and hit a shot AT target.

No balance to the team at all.   Our manager is getting it very wrong and i fear he will continue to stick by the same duds who are continually letting us down.    Terrible game plan again.

 

Were a major embarrassment and if stevie keeps this up  he might find himself out the exit door.  I cannot believe how poor we are.

May I add that Tylesdey and Smith are probably worse to listen to than some of their BT / Sky colleagues.
