The game should have been won with the dangerous balls put into the box and the referee never helped out much with his bizarre decisions. I never thought we'd lose that game even at 1-0 down, it was about their only chance. They have to stop conceding that first goal and they need Senderos or another defender to come in and to play either Barton or Rossiter, not both. I think Holt is missed with his late runs into the box.”
Loath these pitches. But of course any complaint by us or Celtic, Dons etc is just ignored as the big boys being 'arrogant'.
We are suspect at the back, 4-3-3 imo doesn't and isn't working, we are not direct enough in the last third. There isn't a problem that cannot be resolved, and we have the players or the ability to bring in players to do so, but we have a manager whom its questionable wants to change. Which is why whilst I support Warburton, I am not and never have been part of the silly 'in warbs we trust' magic hat brigade.
The play now at Ibrox is miles better than what we had, but we are far from the finished article. Top 4 and a cup is my satisfactory season. Celtic will win the league, but we have a great opportunity to build a team to win next season and start the OF dominance again.
Hope to god Dodoo isn't injured badly. He has shown some pace and skill in his games so far.
