They were by some distance the worst team I’ve seen at Rangers for a while, although we managed to go toe to toe with them in being crap for the first 45 mins.
Mad the way that managers are no longer allowed to manage their way out of a bad spell even if they’ve built up credit.
We were close with Marti and lo and behold look what’s happened.
Smyth has been an integral part of this backs to the wall revival - has defended brilliantly, run himself into the ground and while his end product is wildly inconsistent he’s a 100% starter for me at the moment
Delighted for him with that goal. He made a hard finish look easy. Just totally amazed that for the first time all season he didn’t go down when the keeper brushed past him
Exactly - this is what matters, that’s a brilliant return from three matches.
We’ve produced two of the worst halves of football in living memory (today first half and Oxford first half) but we have also defended like kings and let in one goal in five games.
Being ugly and hard to beat is the right way to go when you’ve got an injury ravaged squad now onto its only fit forward that wasn’t even that great in the first place.
Fair play to Marti for setting up his team like this when he clearly doesn’t really want to, fair play to players for their defensive efforts and fair play to the fans for not moaning or giving up while we get ourselves out of the sh-t once again by parking the bus
Aside from the Cup FInal that never was, I think my lowest moment as a Rangers fan was Oxford away when we faded away from the Championship with that totally cr*p team in 2001 (?). I think it was the night some of our fans put Ray Harford's windows in.
Sh*t weather, sh*t ground, sh*t performance, one of those games that really had you questioning the point of it all, only a few years after we had been a top quality Prem outfit.
The foul on Morgan was right in front of us, he took a hard arm to the face but to be honest I think it was an accident from the Norwich player. Wouldn't have looked too pretty on replay though, and definitely a foul at the very least
That’s what won it for us today. We must have won more tackles in that game than we have all season by some distance. Smyth, Saito, Dunne and Varane leading the charge. Kolli the same up front, and the usual tough stuff from Cook and Morrison.
No idea why we’ve been so passive this season but it was night and day today, we won that game by bring more physical and niggly and agressive and long may it continue. And all that without Field our tackler-in-chief
Wonderful video of my manor - I had a Mes pie (ox cheek) and mash and gravy for my dinner just last night! Highly recommended if you’re in the area and prices aren’t silly either, the owner is a top bloke
- outstanding at the back and in goal once again, Morrison looks a great signing - two quality finishes from… Jan Celar!!! Let’s hope he goes on a tear. That ball from Ashby at the end was probably the first time all season any of our midfield has played him in? Something to ponder now we know he can do it
The team hasn’t given up that’s for sure - we’re not a great team on paper but at least we’re showing some fight
