Match Thread St Mirren v Rangers - 12:30 Sunday - Sky Sports

[Avalonpark]

Lunstrum shooting has been weak.

 

[Cowan_rfc]

Borna off injured, right when a game against the scum is around the corner ? Say it ain't so.

Please let Yilmaz be fit.

Borna played well today

 

[sr1983]

Wright actually injured himself trying to control a pass

 

[temperance]

Can’t trust us not to concede again

 

[FullTimePint]

Dessers is getting the type of numbers a rangers striker needs to get (20 and he doesn’t hit pens is a good return). It’s not volume that is his issue, it’s the importance of the ones he misses.

 

[alex wright]

And now time slows right down, clock was flying by a few minutes ago.

 

[Fitba Juice]

The Silva one he just ran into Gogic, he had nowhere to go. Never a foul. That one he lifts his leg up and is a blatant foul

Gogic stepped into his path, Silva didn't just run into him mate

 

[Nescafe_loyal]

That's 20 goals for the season, it's better than Morelos managed in all but 2 seasons? We're not in a position to be snobby about 20 goal a season strikers.

Exactly and he's not a shite bag too. He's vocal. He tries. He's missed lots of sitters and been under alot of pressure but still turns up!.

 

[bad boy boogie]

That gogic is a fucking animal ,like roy aitken without the perm.

 

[Jimmy2shoes]

Lundstrum shooting has been wank.

FTFY

 

[TheBlueMagoo]

It will be he is not chancing an injury before he leaves

He won't want to play at the piggery

 

[Jelle1880]

Borna played well today

Respectfully disagree.

 

[thornhill bear]

tame from Lunny

 

[Leif Erikson]

Classic Scott Wright. Tries to control the ball, fails, falls over and injures himself.

 

[Stefan Klos]

Every time one of them has hit the deck today it’s been a fucking free kick

 

[chickenhawk]

What's up with our players shooting, never convincing and shot shy

 

[Goity]

Lawrence kicks the ball, St boo player falls to the ground, lino can't wait to wiggle his little flag.

 

[Aribo17]

Don’t just sit in. Go kill the game

 

[Eddie Doc]

Borna played well today

No he didn't.

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Unbelievable isn't it, imagine if we had an actual good striker!?

Or 3-4 other players across the team capable of scoring goals. Tav and Sima are the only two who have contributed. Every Dessers miss gets analysed and some deserve pelters, but it would matter less if others were contributing. We needed a striker in January and Silva was a mistake we couldn't afford.

 

[Unicorn]

20 goals overall for Dessers, no penalties. And yeah, I know he misses plenty.

He scored a penalty against Morton.

 

[Kingwoody]

tame from Lunny

Frustrating he didnt even look up - he had loads of time

 

[club175]

Just need to see this game over the line and move on. Dreadful performance but 3 points all that matters now

 

[Gascoigne87]

Dessers should be getting 2 or 3 every game.

If we had a decent goalscorer our defensive issues wouldnt be so obvious.

 

[TheBlueMagoo]

It is embarrassing how lenient Scottish refs are.

They let the hammer throwers get away with murder.

We are soft as shite, but would never be allowed to throw ourselves into the tackles into the ones we recieve

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

Respectfully disagree.

He wasn’t garbage which is an improvement.

 

[LJ50]

Dessers is getting the type of numbers a rangers striker needs to get (20 and he doesn’t hit pens is a good return). It’s not volume that is his issue, it’s the importance of the ones he misses.

He’s played pretty much every game, and generally worked extremely hard, as an out and out number 9. 20 goals is the minimum expectation for a Rangers player in that position.

As you say, it’s the chances he misses - plus his usually dreadful hold up play - that should see him replaced.

 

[ForeverBlue1972]

Hope our plan isn’t to try see out the remaining minutes as we’re not good enough we need to get a. 3rd goal

 

[Corrigan]

Clement should now tell both full backs to hang back a bit more, lets be more solid here.
10 mins to go.

 

[Stevie13000]

Lawrence looks a bit like Jim Carrey with that hair do.

 

[SM™]

Came back from the shop and missed Dessers' goal might go back down and buy something else.

Apparently they stuck in a freedom of information request because one of the cameras at the cesspools under the airport bridge may have evidenced a slight tug.

But the Masons stepped in with a technicality that stopped them from waiting 28 days for the video to come back.

 

[Kingwoody]

Lovely bit of play

Which is worth noting (lawrence shot over the bar)

 

[BlueArmada]

Dessers is getting the type of numbers a rangers striker needs to get (20 and he doesn’t hit pens is a good return). It’s not volume that is his issue, it’s the importance of the ones he misses.

I think tbf to him, we've totally relied on his goals since Sima was injured and that magnifies his misses. I think our real problem has been a total lack of goals from the wide areas of our attack. We need players on the left and right who can at least threaten double-figure goal returns.

 

[mountloyal]

We appear in control now.
Need to keep the head.

 

[DM921872]

Diomande has been superb today

 

[DJ Blue]

Passing a little bit better now.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Dessers should be getting 2 or 3 every game.

If we had a decent goalscorer our defensive issues wouldnt be so obvious.

We've never had a striker who scores 2 or 3 every game have we? I don't see the need for the ridiculously high bar to have a go at someone who's contributing.

 

[georgedoors]

Lunstrum shooting has been weak.

Is always weak

 

[jah]

That fanny Bolton having an absolute nightmare.

Goalkeeper fell over him and left empty net for the goal.

 

[Godrup99]

He wasn’t garbage which is an improvement.

What happened the the mentalist that tormented us in two matches so we signed him?

 

[naefrittersleftpal]

If we beat that lot at the piggery it will go down to GD and we are struggling in that regard unfortunately

 

[SaulBearenson]

Dessers should be getting 2 or 3 every game.

If we had a decent goalscorer our defensive issues wouldnt be so obvious.

Are you 5?

No striker gets 2 or 3 every game.

Not Dessers, not Super Ally, not even Pele who counted just about every shot as a goal when he made up his numbers.

 

[G74Bear]

Is that the TNT commentator on Sky?

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

I don’t trust this team to see this out.

Need another goal.

 

[Rickety Cricket]

He could have had 40 though.

I think that was his point

 

[Blue Lew]

Every time one of them has hit the deck today it’s been a fucking free kick

Absolutely shocking. Any tackle of any description also ends in a St Mirren free kick.

 

[Vader]

Dessers should be getting 2 or 3 every game.

If we had a decent goalscorer our defensive issues wouldnt be so obvious.

Dessers has 20 goals, he's not the problem. It's the lack of goals from the wingers and midfielders, who should all be contributing far more. Sima can get a pass on this, he's more than chipped in. Been pointed out that O'Riley for them has more goals/assists this season than our entire midfield, it's not good enough.

 

[Arkanoid]

The irony is, having snuck a 2-1 lead this pedestrian, boring football from us is perfect for seeing a game out

 

[Aribo17]

Why has Butland just been booked ?

 

[SuperAlly1990]

No chance that's a booking.
