Gorgeous goal.
Really shocked when he went for it. Fair play. |

Morgan signed for our Development Squad on a free last summer, Colin.
He's ours. |

Fair point, Pedro.
Cov was 50/50, definitely.
Missed Millwall. |

Coming with questions, not with answers.
Thought it might be mentality today, maybe?
Like we bought too much into how good they were at home?
We were very deep in the first 10-20 minutes, sometimes with 5 or 6 across the back, maybe trying to ride out the (cliché alert) 'inevitable surge for the first twenty'.
That's understandable. It may not be wise to be a slave to that approach, but it is understandable. But, after we overcame that, we struggled to get up the pitch and get at them, mostly down to poor passing across practically the entire team. I think it was Bklyn who posted at half-time that we had 29% passing accuracy in the final third. A great stat, though I can't imagine it was much better in either of the other thirds.
I'd imagine we played as many long balls, as few completed passes as them. But they were playing their game, we weren't, so they were naturally that bit more successful.
There's a real danger of being certain in the immediate aftermath of a game like this, of drawing too many quick-fit solutions. I'm sure the team and management won't do that. It wasn't good enough. Admit to it. Suck it up. Rest, recover. Meet up again on Monday and analyse it with clear minds, with video, with facts, with honesty.
I trust this management and team to do that. |

Haunted.
This is a really awful performance from Rangers.
Uncertain and unambitious in the first half, no balls or belief in the second. |

I don't think any likely amount of money we would get would soften the pill, Gar.
To my mind, Cifuentes has saved us from relegation two years in a row. A couple of million - at the very most - of compensation will be no compensation if he were to leave and we're back with incompetent owners and administrators
Replacements lined up? I'm not confident in that either. Ferdinand put Cifuentes on our radar, he's gone, and he was also overruled many times by the same owners we have now. |

That Can sound is amazing.
I missed that over the years, thanks, and I can hear the Madchester link, definitely. |

I've said the same on here as well.
I agree that we don't want to overextend ourselves financially. Ever.
But this is a great chance. |
