This year its 2 full rounds of 11 fixtures then 2 rounds of top 6/ bottom 6.
We've dropped points to another side once in 3 years and I'd counter that by saying we've looked much more likely to win the games against the top 2 than they've looked to beat us.
The team is much changed since the season we lost those goals to Celtic. For me, the similarity is we looked in a strong position until our best striker done her ACL - Howat at the time was absolutely deadly and I think we'd have won the league if she'd stayed fit.And despite that, we've drawn twice with City this season and lost ridiclous last minute goals to Celtic in the season before we won the league. Us coming out on top is the anomoly over all the games in the last 3 years. I'd like to see all the results laid out actually because I don't think they'd make great reading.
I'm not convinced we've looked more likely to win the games in all honesty. We've never had a run of convincing wins against both teams and, if we've looked more likely to win them but haven't, that's an issue within itself.
If we're only dropping points to Hearts in all the other games, it suggests a failing in the matches against City and Celtic as I bet they've dropped points otherwise and we've still only won the league once.
I reckon we could do a lot better and the constant in the failings is the manager. The players have changed and improved enough now but the same issues crop up in those big games.
The starting 11 yesterday was probably what most of us would have picked following the resounding win over Motherwell but it soon became obvious that City had the measure of both our wingers and McCoy had virtually nothing to work with. Likewise our midfield never really controlled the game and I struggle to recall their keeper being tested.Very disappointing to have another big game where we have failed to score from open play. I'm struggling to see why when we are struggling for goals that Jodi McLeary and Colette Cavanagh can't even get on the pitch, when they have been amongst the goals when they do get the chances.
Agree with many that Megan Bell should have been on earlier, it was clear that their left back had Brogans number yesterday, it just wasn't her day. We needed more variety in our play, and more threat centrally.
It's not over yet, but the margin for error is so small now that its difficult to even see it.
Next 2 games against pretty poor teams are a chance to work some things out and start looking to the Old Firm game at the end of next month.
Esson back in goal. Womens Team rotating the 'keepers as much as the Mens First Team. Must be the new Rangers 'thing'.
Sounds like Wilson taking the mantra of the first team style being emulated at every other level seriously.Esson back in goal. Womens Team rotating the 'keepers as much as the Mens First Team. Must be the new 'Rangers 'thing'.
No, sadly. They showed the City and Celtic games.on tv anywhere
if she does indeed apply for the Fire service one would hope the hip problem clears up fully.....firemans lift and rescuing the injured etc.I have known Megan for years and she has always been a nice young lassie/lady and yes i found out at the weekend that she is indeed hoping for a career in the service but also found out that she might just carry on playing but just not at the level required for Rangers
Yes she will probably help out but I've also heard something else that I wont go into in an open forum.

Seems to have had a decent career.What a player she was by the way
Similar to the Glasgow City game so far.
We seem to play too much football at times.Hibs happy to defend a fairly impotent Rangers attack. Would be nice to see both teams try to win and provide entertainment. Could be a long night.
