Another game we failed to close out from a winning position. No matter how tired the players are we should be capable of closing games down. I am losing count of the goals we are losing in the last 5 minutes.
said the same mate, cant se us winning the league this year, but injuries have been absolutely brutal so farPerhaps , finally , it’s sinking into some thick skulls .
There is no title race . We can’t beat Aberdeen , hibs or Dundee ffs.
I’ve said all along the Scottish cup and second place will be the best we can hope for . The delusions about the title can stop right now .
You might want to take your head out the sand.
I think it actually becomes a must win nowTake a draw.on Saturday, it's a massive ask for more with our injuries mounting up..the players looked knackered .
Another pathetic result against a poor side. This season will be a massive opportunity missed, purely down to our inability to see out games.
I'd rather our goalie came for a cross like that, than stand watching one of the biggest guys on the pitch climb all over one of the smallest guys and nod it in. Where were our big centre halves?Defending by and large was good.
I expected us to be worse when Goldson went off and we were left with two kids at the back.
Issue is as per usual not being able to kill teams off.
We were comfortable today but when you fail to put teams away the sucker punch is always there.
He wastes vast amounts of energy recovering his own mistakes, energy he needs going forward.Tavernier is running on empty. Needs a break.
Give a team something to think about ... Im stunned and not for the first time by Gerrard inability to see what's going to happen. King must must be bewildered, letting goldson try to run off an injury will probably put him out scum game, what a mess we areWhat should the manager have done differently?
It was always too much of an ask for Gerrard to turn it round so quickly.
Next season he'll have had 3 transfer windows and learned a lot as a manager.
That's when we should expect to be putting in a genuine challenge for the title.
It wasn't pathetic at all. We do need to convert far more chances though.
Injuries have ball-fvcked us this month...there's no getting away from it.
Two draws that could so easily have been two wins. Others must step up. Alfredo can't do it all on his own.
It is disheartening when you concede an 80th minute equaliser and see all your fans feck off, they have no belief in you, so why should you?The crowd can't help with defending schoolboy crosses in the box
was awful defendingWe are not very good at stopping crosses coming in from either flank. The goal is a case in point - Candeias runs towards the player, stops, puts his hands behind his back & gives him plenty time & space to easily put the ball in.
Shut the player down for pity's sake. It isn't difficult.
Upset or not that's honking chat!Gerrard needs to take the blame, I've backed him all the way but even my blind faith has gone.
How he can even let Coulibaly on the pitch is a fucking joke, the guy is a spastic and degrades the team. Our formation and game plan does not fit in with the players we have.
Tav and Candeias cannot cross a ball, any good crosses they do is more luck than skill. The types of crosses they do is also useless as we don't have a target man to header it, again this is something the manager should be pointing out to them. Middleton has been poor lately but at least he knows our crosses need to be lower and from the by-line.
We lack creativity in midfield and if Arfield isn't on we are worse, Jack does well but in fairness to him he wasn't brought in to be or claim to be a creative midfielder.
I really hate to bang on but in Coulibaly we have a player who actualy makes us play worse, he brings nothing to the game and if he is playing on the 29th then don't even bother watching game because the spastic will get us fucked over.
The sucker punch is always coming when holding a 1-0 lead. I don't mind admitting it, but I'm dreading Saturday. We're too slow in getting up the pitch and when we eventually get there the final ball is poor.
What should the manager have done differently?
They win on Saturday and win their game in hand, they're NINE points ahead.
We win on Saturday and they win their game in hand, they're still SIX points ahead.
Even if we win on Saturday and they lose their game in hand, they're still THREE points ahead.
The gap still is and always was there. Some people just chose to ignore it.
How do you know That?Because they wouldn’t have conceded three against the dross that is Aberdeen had they been in top gear.

Sticky, sticky, stickyyes we should've won, were we pathetic NO, is it the end of our chances HELL NO, are there still 20 games to go YES, if we are more than 6 points behind approaching the split then ill panic but until then people should man the f*ck up and get behind our tired lads and stop getting on their backs every 5 seconds WATP NS
Would love to know what his mistakes are?
See Spartak posts.We were worse on Sunday V St Johnstone. Nothing went for us in the games against Hibs. We should have 6 points from they games but the poorest performance we got 3 points. Strange game.
He should have started IMO. We would have had far more chance of killing the game with Lafferty up with Alfie.should of bought lafferty on earlier so many chances we had
Drawn 6 games now, and lost 3. Even allowing for an unusually competitive league this season that is not good enough.
Fed up hearing we SHOULD be getting this, should be getting that. It’s loser talk and akin to patter you’d hear from Hearts and Aberdeen fans. Rangers need to be above that, but right now we’re not. I don’t like the way this season is goingWe were worse on Sunday V St Johnstone. Nothing went for us in the games against Hibs. We should have 6 points from they games but the poorest performance we got 3 points. Strange game.
Why can we finish the game vs St Johnstone with 2 up and attacking formation and looking good to go back to this 3 defensive midfielders???
Coulibaly is NOT a player for games when we are in possession of the ball......he works hard but ability is zero.
We should have played 2 up or changed it earlier......1v0 is always a dodgy lead
The problem is what we are seeing is a team regressing very badly rather than a team progressing. Gone is all our great closing down and fast flowing attacking football and somehow we have morphed into Pedros caravan club.
Spastic is a bit heavy going, surely?! Yes he is utter tripe but those insults are pretty poorGerrard needs to take the blame, I've backed him all the way but even my blind faith has gone.
