If we don't win this then....

[BF2 2,816]

We'll probably scrape a win and paper over the cracks for a couple of weeks.

We must go on a run now. This is the perfect game to start.

Nothing less than a comfortable win will feel good enough here, we shouldn't be scraping this. And if we do we better not be happy about it after the game.

Get stuck in, show the desire and put 4 or 5 past them please.

[Camshy 74]

Convincing 1-0 victory and even if we score more than a few I will still be pissed off, the team really need to get a run going and start to become hard to beat because right now any team has a decent chance to score against us.

Regardless I will be there to show my support and cheer on the team but I have to say I'm far from happy and quite simply, its not been fucking good enough. No doubt the manager will bang on about the media but at the end of the day its Rangers he is at and the expectation here is greater than most clubs and he has to realise that......its not Brentfod or some other English team that accept 2nd or 3rd best or worse !

Feel like everyone's being saying this for weeks. Even if we do beat Partick Thistle the chances of us going on a run are slim to none in my opinion, too inconsistent and too poor to even consider stringing a few games together.

[B1872 2,571]

Take any sort of win tbh! None of this play well and draw 0-0 pish. 👎🏻

[55Bear 165]

I blame the recent bad form on the numpties who post on these threads saying ah we'll trash them 16-0. It's karma. Sensible predictions only please!

1-0

[jim beam 395]

If we get a win it will paper over the cracks for a little while at least.

Time for a change in formation and under performing players to get dropped.

Can see Kiernan or Senderos coming back.

Think Wallace was better today so hopefully he keeps it up next week.

Change of formation hopefully.

Foderingham

Tavernier Hill Wilson Wallace

Rossiter if fit, if not Halliday, Halliday/Holt

Forrester Holt/Windass O'Halloran

Waghorn/Garner.

I'd be inclined to go for a similar line up but maybe a 4-5-1. Can't see MW changing it though.

[dogtanian 47]

If we can't get a result over thistle at Ibrox then I'm afraid to say the pressure will really be on MW

The pressure was on for the first game against Hamilton....

[sandyinroyalblue 6,590]

I blame our recent poor form on the Jonahs who start the match threads.

[Blumhoilann 774]

We need a result,as much for a confidence builder as the 3 points,then......who knows?

[thebluedoo 877]

I would like to see a very angry Rangers side dismantle Partick Thistle in front of our very eyes, I don't give a monkey who plays and what formation but this team really owe us a performance of confidence and quality. I will go for a 6-1 score line, over to you Rangers
