johnmeiksy Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 We all know that the penalty miss was bad lets not hide the fact, but let's look at the positives from the game, McMullan terrorised Wilson at times, Howiesons goal how cool a finish and the whole team never crumbled after going 2-0 down, think what the score would have been if that was last season and going 2-0 so early under Tommy Craig.

djchapsticks Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 We showed plenty of character at 2-0 down yesterday. The team of last season would have capitulated to a 5 or 6-0 defeat. The most impressive part for me was that when the junkie was on the park, Murray brought his players in, had words and there was a significant shift in the way we played from there. It's encouraging to see that Murray was willing to change it and actually engage with the players, something that has been heavily criticised in terms of gaffers in the past few years.

donport Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Baird looked very good as well , a lot of positives I thought! One aside what about the balanced view from BT Miller and Boyd as pundits and McColl co commentator total joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 As I've put on P&B, McMullan is the best possession player I've seen at SMFC since Gowser. When the rest of the team learn his game, he'll get much better supportive runs around him. Also, it was clear that Thommo's relative immobility meant nobody was creating space for McMullan's runs. Agnew wasn't brilliant last night, but you could see he was always trying to pick a pass. Again, we need to give these players, especially the young ones, time to learn each other's (and their own) games, but once they do, I think we'll be a very entertaining side.

Ra's Al Gul Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ok going forward...left hand side a shambles..truth is sevco could have scored about eight...thomson finished as 90 minute player...gallacher never touched ball when he came on..going struggle for goals...murray record for losing goals at Dumbarton was shocking so needs a decent experienced centre back or left back...also need decent keeper!!!

proudtobeabuddy Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 We looked decent last night and there are lot's of positives that we can take. I'd like to think that the longer Murray works with the players the better they will get as the season goes on.... The other pleasing thing is that Murray is actively seeking for 3/4 more players to add to the squad and that will create competition for places which is never a bad thing.

stevo123 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Remember rangers have a settled team I'm sure after a couple of months we will be a better team. Looking gd so far pleased we fought back after going two down. Still shaky at back and thommo only gd for 45 mins . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn ed Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 What I liked about last night was that we were right into the Ref when he made decisions that's something we haven't done for years. I hope that's something Murray is drilling into them. I was under the impression that their is NO fourth official in this league yet there was one last night. Nice to see Murray getting into him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erskinebud Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) I felt there were many positives to be taken from last night's game, all brought up and discussed well in the posts above (with one notable exception from our version of Private Frazer "we're all doomed!"). One notable addition to the positives is the standard of song choice. Whoever started the "one vicky pollard" song to the rather charming young female(?) bear at the end of the game is a genius!! Even the po-faced stewards in front of us were wetting themselves! Stand up and take a bow, sir! Edited August 8, 2015 by erskinebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) The way McMullan totally wrong footed Tavernier for the penalty was superb, especially with the way the media and the Rangers fans have been getting themselves all excited about their new player. Admittedly I was screaming at him to shoot or pass, something in hindsight that would probably have been a better move! If he can do that to one of the better players he'll come up against then we could be in for some fun. Edited because I made my post for the what we need thread in here by accident. Idiot.

Callum Gilhooley Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Remember rangers have a settled team I'm sure after a couple of months we will be a better team. Looking gd so far pleased we fought back after going two down. Still shaky at back and thommo only gd for 45 mins . How do you work that out ? They appointed their new manager a full month after we did & they lost a shitload of players at season end & have had to bring in the bulk of a new team . Also , i believe they have had the same length of pre season & about the same amount of pre season games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Another positive was Baird absolutely clattering Wallace in the second half. Majestic stuff. Pity no one was able to do that before he scored two goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car-d bud Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 positives were how the fans stayed with the team, even at 2-0 down we were still singing and more importantly encouraging them. Ridgers had a couple of great point blank saves Baird for pole axing Wallace right in front of Govan stand To the team for playing themselves from 2 down to almost drawing level and for not capitulating and going down 4 or 5 nil. Howieson for showing coolness to sliot away his goal Thought Gallagher made couple of good runs down flanks when he came on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
