Gers v Gretna

[Hurlock 0]

I watched the game in a very packed pub in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae yesterday, haven't a clue what channel it was, whether it was Israeli or Japanese I don't know, great atmosphere though and a pity we really onlygot going in the last half hour but I can't blame the players after the efforts the last few weeks. It was bound to take it's toll sometime but hey, it's another 3 points in the bag and 4 goals for the goal difference stakes.

Was at the game today - fantastic to be back at the Brox.

 

Was looking for Frankie and young Fraser as I was sitting right in front of the TBO - what an atmosphere they have in there - if I was living back home and had a season ticket then I would definitely be looking to get close to the TBO as they generate a great atmosphere.

 

Sadly the performance wasn't up to much. Pass marks from me only really to Cuellar, Webster, Hutton and Ferguson, plus Darcheville when he came on (though McGregor should get pass marks too seeing as he had nothing to do) and possibly Thomson.

 

I thought Papac was absolutely rotten. Caught out numerous times, poor distribution, never offered support to Beasley and basically, I felt, inept.

 

Beasley was too light weight, couldn't beat his man and offered very little.

Thomson I thought broke up play well but some of his distribution was poor - but he does do the dirty work well.

Whittaker I thought didn't offer too much today either.

 

I was probably most disappointed with the Cousin and Boyd partnership - I thought they both would work really well together but felt that far too often they found themselves in the same position. I watched one passage of play in the first half where the Gers were attacking and Boyd and Cousin were both waiting for the cross.... and they were no more than 3 yards away from each other.

 

Obviously they should be forgiven for having come through the game on Tuesday night and there was always going to be a hangover - they just never really got going - but never looked in danger of losing a goal.

 

It was funny to see that Thomson was the only player who was trying to get the team to pick up the tempo.

 

And.... from watching Naismith for even 10 minutes I reckon we will have a very, very good addtion - he showed more willingness and, more importantly, more movement off the ball than ANY other player showed in 90 minutes.

 

All in all though, four goals, a clean sheet, 3 points, no injuries, great atmosphere and great to be back at Ibrox !!!

 

 

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Hopefully see you at more games at Ibrox
