FT. Nice second half. Good for them.
Great performance. Two fantastic goals and a strikers goal. All three attackers scored. Could easily have been five, or even more. Not complaining though. That was a lot of fun to watch. Really exciting players in Chair, Eze, Pugh, Hugill, Manning, and do on.
If We get ruthless, somebody is going to get a real hiding.

Another 21 attempts.

This reminds me of the early days of the Don Howe reign. He always said we'd hammer someone because of our attacking football. He was right. We did Luton 6-1. Parker's only goal, as mentioned on here this week.

After an awful first half, great to see Warbuton can change tactics and the second half was fantastic. 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses. I'd say we will finish 12th/13th and watch some enjoyable football along the way

And the next home game is?...

But we're part of the reason they are bottom three.
Yes. And the 2 we have lost are against top 4 teams. Still not sure just how well we will do this year. But even when losing, we haven't looked anything like the team of last year. So, let's celebrate any win.

Happy days, those, kinda forgotten due to the Gerry era after, but Howe's reign felt like the return of the good old Rangers that we loved after several mediocre seasons. Maybe a good omen for this season?

Yep - well done Rangers. People may mock, but that WAS a 'must-win' today in the context of this most difficult of seasons. A biggie. Warburton and his men are showing good signs of making a real go of it - in gameplan and spirit - and that is great to see.

Nice surprise to wake up to. Soft defence aside, if we can keep scoring goals we will always have a chance in any game. Clean sheets are over rated 😉
My mate who is a Forest fan said that Warburton was not liked because he never changed anything, "Plan B was to do plan A better and if that did not work , then they would lose"
But today he changed 2 things at half time
1) Tony L. came on to add much needed height and presence to a vulnerable defence and switch to 3 at the back which also enabled the full backs to push further forward and replaced the struggling Scowen 2) Eze switched to the middle (definitely his most effective position) and Chair to the wing both of whom were outstanding.
2 other points, playing out from the back works as you retain possession and can attack quickly but can also cause panic etc, when Jordan came on it gave us another option of a long ball - need to have and use both.
Smith was very good today when replacing Ball
Encouraging signs all be it against a poor Wigan side but very enjoyable and great reception for Akos!
