I thought that was a controlled, professional second half. 

Yes, we didn't create much, but we didn't need to. We let them have the ball, and we kept to a compact European shape. 

Why take a risk?

Job done.

We've changed it tactically, which is good to see, but we've not actually used it well: We weren't finding the front three at all. 

We've been clinical in taking our only two chances, both delivered with a huge slice of luck.   

St Mirren have nullified Goldson, Tavernier and Barisic, who are our main passers from the back. 

I think that's why we have changed it -- giving Davis more room in a deeper role -- which has worked OK, but we need to see the front three find some space. 

I think it's a ploy to spread St Mirren wide: Kamara and Aribo are wide, almost vacating the middle.

I think Davis and the CB need to use it to get balls into the feet of the front three. 

We've made a situational back three too, with Davis has taken up a position between the CBs. 

I thought that was to give some space for Helander and Goldson (Goldson seemed to be marked closely) to pass out - because it gives St Mirren's forwards another man to press. But, it also draws the midfield on to us, hopefully creating space. 

The danger is, a misplaced pass could see them on us. 

I like the situational back three, but I'd now like to see Kamara and Aribo come narrower to cover. We're two up: we don't need to risk it.  

Short pass-back, Morelos through on goal, hits it low, sending the 'keeper the wrong way.

ALFREDOOOO!

First time we've got the front three into the game, and... Goal!

Lucky deflection, but the intent is there. 

I don't like the midfield structure. 

Kamara and Aribo are anonymous. 

They could be doing it on purpose, to open up passes into the front three from the back, but Davis, Helander and Goldson are not finding them.

People calling for a lockdown of the premier league no doubt we will follow suit 

It's just Allardyce is it not?

I thought he was just wanting more time to work with his team!

Thanks.

Thanks... ?

15:00 kick-off? Is that right?

Throstles thrashed by Leeds 0-5.

 

@Rousseau will be dancing in the streets.

About time they put their chances away.

(Even if they got a bit of luck with the opener...)

All matches are on Amazon Prime this week.

St Mirren 0 - 1 Rangers

Delighted with the win but why take Hagi off ? Having his best games in ages. And Kent struggling just now

He had worked incredibly hard and was tiring a bit. 

I think we needed a bit of cover so bringing Arfield on was the good move, IMO.

What did he do?

Just keeping hold of the ball and winning fouls. 

No one else was doing it until he came on in that second half. 

Very few points collected, but I'm sure we'll all take that if it means 3 points every week.
