Stats may be interesting but the fact is, for a time in midwinter the team were playing in the league better football than in previous seasons. Then as the High Statmaster himself said above Sima the Scorer got injured. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,654 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 At the end of the day it’s another OF defeat & 3 out of 4 this season in the league is totally unacceptable. We must hope for better recruitment in the summer although it’s looking like CB’s will take up a big chunk of the budget. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t understand his reluctance to play Raskin. He’s a battler which you need in an OF fixture 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another go but only if he commits himself for another two seasons it no use changing manager every year if he’s not prepared to commit then it’s back to square one at present the club is an embarrassment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 6,082 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 John Lundstram? In his post match interview on Sky, I thought the Gaffer was close to throwing the Englishman under the proverbial. I am glad he refrained because there is a Scottish Cup final to play in a fortnight. The Gaffer has to find a way of installing both individual and collective confidence. The game against Motherwell at Ibrox when we lost 1-2, we started poorly, gifted 'Well a couple of cheap opportunities before conceding. Lundstram was largely responsible for getting the team into it's then deserved top of the table position but, I thought he exhibited both mental and physical fatigue against the claret and amber. The games against Ross County and Dundee reinforced my feeling. Today's first half was a personal stinker for Lundstram. He was not involved in the early exchanges and when O'Riley again slipped off the back of him to receive the ball in our box, he was five yards off the pace. The own goal was unfortunate but, charging into the six yard box facing the goal means any contact is at best, a lottery. The red card was correct, I cannot believe a player of John's experience made that challenge a dozen yards outside Sellik's box. Obviously, he is out for Tuesday's fixture against Dundee but, I would tell him to sit out Tynecastle too. Get some much deserved rest and recharge for the final. The game itself was a repeat of a movie we have all endure a dozen times before. We start poorly, concede two quick goals then, decide to play a bit. We got one back and going in at half time 2-1 down would have been fortunate and, would have given the Gaffer time to reset the team. However, Lundstram's red intervened. The second half was a procession for thirty minutes with an outrageous penalty decision thrown in. On three occasions, Morelos against Dortmund at Ibrox, Sellik at Ibrox in September'23 with Dessers dispossession of Lagerbielke and, today at ra Stydome; we have witnessed an opposition player kick through and connect with the calf of a Rangers player and, on all three instances the decision has gone against Rangers. Does the Co-op sell confidence? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
