RANGERRAB

If these individuals are found guilty then the SFA have a duty to investigate Celtic. 

Good news. Not seen much of him but impressed v Aberdeen at home last season despite result. First team experience will do him world of good

That's the point. If he'd put a shift in like Holt and Morelos for the full 90 mins, he would be very decent. IMHO, we signed Docherty not because of his qualities alone, but also to give Windass some tougher competition for a starting place.

Can't see Docherty doing that. Windass is probably one of the first names on the teamsheet at the moment. After Morelos probably.

Most businesses need some sort of credit facility.

I'd suggest Rangers aren't any different.

To have had no credit facility at all wasn't best practice.

Windass is turning out to be a class act who could fetch us a decent transfer fee in the not too distant future. Hope that gets understood by some of his detractors

The Hootsman is an irrelevance these days. Another with a dwindling readership 

As long as he scores so what ?

just shows how far he's come on in a short space of time when we're now expecting him to score every game

Lone striker against PT? Jeez.

That's my reading of the starting XI

Wouldn't have thought Cummings capable of playing lone striker role

As I say we all see what we want to see and I will say that for me there is enough doubt to suspect the linesman called it good.

We have to agree to disagree    

Jason Cumming's arrival signals the end for Miller I'd suggest

Morelos is a year younger than Dodoo and has scored 65 goals so far in his career. Dodoo has a grand total of 12. Morelos is clearly in another league and hopefully us signing him wasn't just blind luck. We should already have his replacement in mind. 

 

If Dodoo was any good I doubt he'd have come back from his loan with third tier Charlton having only scored one league goal. 

If Dodoo was at HJK Helsinki for the same length of time asMorelos then I think he'd have scored a few there as well. Dodoo was at Leicester with little or no chance of game time in the first team prior to joining Rangers.

I really don't think you can compare their records to date because of their different backgrounds in their careers so far

There are two Hibz defenders next to Morelos. The one nearest his own goal(the one partially hidden) is playing Morelos onside.

Clearly offside. He has broken through the Hibs line and the ball has still to be kicked.

No he hasn't.

Morelos was off side

Still not convinced.

Watched highlights. No way should Morelos goal have been disallowed. 

By my calculations, in 13 league games at home this season we've scored 20 goals.

7 of those goals were against Dundee & Partick Thistle.

That leaves us scoring 13 goals in 11 games against the rest.

Is it not obvious where our problems lie ?  We are not scoring enough goals at home. That is why I believe we should change our system and play 2 up front.

I'd always prefer to see a player missing chances than one not getting on the end of chances at all. All players have off days. We're no exception.

My thoughts on Windass is that he does not have the heart for the fight. Today he hid, a coward. His father would have kicked a couple of these Hibs players into touch.

He had an off day today but I'd suggest he's been having a good season.

You are correct, Murphy often penetrated 30-40 yards. A constant 10-15 seconds of holding the ball, whilst waiting for a pass/cross to present itself. It didn't happen, instead Murphy traversed 30-40 yards across the Hibs eighteen yard line, to eventually pass the ball to Tav'. I want Windass, demand Windass provides the necessary 10-15 yard diagonals into the opposition box creating the angles.

 

Murphy is shining, the team should be making hay.

Our players need to learn how to play alongside Murphy.

When he goes past players they need to make runs in behind defenders to allow him to slip the ball thro. Instead they are all congregating in the penalty box surrounded by defenders hoping he'll deliver an inch perfect cross.

Murphy is an intelligent, skillful & creative player but he needs players on the same wavelength alongside him.

I'm as annoyed as anyone else but I'm seeing gradual improvement.

 

Today we dominated Hibs and only our paucity in the final third cost us a win (Tav's awful mistake notwithstanding).  I'm confident we'll improve in the final third as guys like Murphy, Docherty and Cummings settle in.4

 

Patience is a virtue.

I still think we need a system where we have 2 up front because we're simply not good enough to have 1 up front.

3-5-2 is an option which would also allow 3 central MF players, which I also think we need

We'll suffer up front without him.  

Don't rule out Dodoo as a replacement if Morelos goes. I, for one, still rate him.

With Regan gone it will be interesting to see what happens next.

I certainly don't expect Nolan Partners to be involved finding his replacement this time.
