Relegation 2022/23

McGinn

FB?

 

[davek]

Have Rangers produced any good players over the years Dave?

Tavernier hasn't been bad for them. If we had to get one from that outfit we should have got him.

 

[scotchbutterpin]

I still think we can get something at Brighton weirdly, quietly confident

Brighton still in a shout for European place. They'll be well up for it.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

My somewhat delusional optimism has almost evaporated. A loss to Brighton, unfavourable results for other relegation candidates, and it will be completely snuffed out. Can’t imagine being in the Championship. Utterly disgusted with what our board have allowed to unfold over the past few years. They can’t be forgiven, even if we by some miracle survive, and must go.

 

[Nymzee]

Out of our last 4 opponents only Wolves (possibly) have nothing to play for and might be on their jollies. Got to target that.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Jolly ?

Soul-crushing.

Does that count as 1 or 2 words?

 

[Blue Sky]

This season’s relegation fight is washing over me , NEA , I put so much into last season just can’t do it again , it burnt me out .

….I thought you like defenders who can defend. Tavernier is a terrific pro, his attacking record is remarkable for a full back but he’s dreadfully slow and out of the game when the ball goes beyond him. I think it’s telling that clubs haven’t tried to bring him back to England but he is great for Rangers.

Was more interested how his brother did stepping up this season.

I do.

That league encourages an Old Firm FB to emphasise their attacking qualities because they know they wont get punished being out of position most of the time.

I know we could do with FBs that get up and support the attack. We're desperate for one when Coleman is injured.

He was superb for them in Europe last season.

What do a Bournemouth team two points and a place ahead of Wolves have to play for exactly?

 

[Paulie]

Doesn’t really work like that though. Could equally say we would have points from the Leicester game at Goodison if Tieleman’s hadn’t have hit a worldie when they’d done nothing all first half.

If Calvert Lewin taps in against Leicester maybe we beat them, if Coady isn’t offside v Liverpool maybe we beat them.

Those things didn’t happen though, and Coleman did score v Leeds. It’s a keeper error yes but they happen to other teams all the time.

I know that but what I'm trying to say, even our wins have hardly been convincing. Beside Palace at home this season, I can't remember the last comfortable win in the league. A lot of games decided on fine margins either way and a lot of heavy defeats.

 

[Gilbert..]

I think so too, if they beat Southampton they'll be massively confident another point or two could keep them up.

Hopefully southanpton can pull something out the bag.

I'd stay quiet aswell before you're sectioned.

Bournemouth are safe in reality, also. So we have to be targeting minimum 4 points from the last 2.

 

[perth_blue]

Yes that's what I was saying

Sorry I must not have read it properly.

 

[Littlesue]

Sorry I must not have read it properly.

More likely I said it wrong
