Radford 72 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Tough first home match on the new grass and as so often seems to be the case in Perth, a 2-0 win for Rangers. Good seasons or bad seasons, games against the Old Firm are so often like today's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Encks cos if it hadnae been for him it would have been 6. Credits also to Ando and Callum Davidson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newyear'sday97 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Went for Encks, Jody a close 2nd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo_1884 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Callum Davidson for me... assured perfromance at left back, wasn't afraid to be direct (midfielders take note) and go forward when he had the chance. Thought Encks, Mackay and Jody also played well today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juggernaut Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ando for me, also pass marks for C Davidson, Mooner, Morris and thought Muzz had a shocker, need to keep an eye on where his heads at IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ando for me.Apart from losing Naismith at first goal he saved us umpteen times.C Davidson OK but was caught for pace when he was caught upfield.Pass marks as well to Wright,Moon & Haber.

auld reekie saint Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Haber for me. Won plenty of headers and 2nd half looked prepared to run at their defence.Also thought Enks,Jody and Callum Davidson had decent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Callum by a long way. Enks and the back 4 all did really well. Wright was excellent first half, but Callum was the only player with any real ambition. Some good movement second half too, while Morris and muzz played keep ball like we were 1-0 in an Italian cup game and ignored him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Glad to see a few other folk have voted for Jody Morris, as he gets my vote too. Sad thing is, I didn't want to say that in the original post, as felt it would only generate a series of replies questioning both his contribution to the team and the validity of my opinion because I voted for him. His pass for Callum Davidson in the first half was excellent and I think we saw why he is picked in the role he is ahead of Kevin Moon. In any ten minute period, I suspect Mooner misplaced more passes than Morris did in the whole match. A sideways pass to an opponent is most often better than a forward pass to the opposition.

I would never question the validity of your opinion Radford and I'd hope you would reciprocate. We see things differently, and that's ok. It's life. I agree that the pass to Davidson was excellent and I'd agree that Jody played well in spells. He begins to lose the way when he doesn't see an option, starts dancing round in circles and losing possession. It seems, to me, that we are uninspiring in the main when Jody plays. Not always, but mostly we are better and drive forward more when he isn't there. One thing's for sure, Jody splits opinion in this place right down the middle.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Morris does his job well, but there were no options for him today. I agree that a short or square pass can be effective, but that is about all there was today. The only balls to Haber and Sheridan were to feet, when they dropped deep to get into the game, and subsequently had the whole defence to beat, with their backs to goal. The two forwards need to play together in this respect, because they kept coming deep together. There was nothing creative in midfield, but on this occasion I would suggest that Robertson, Muzz and Moon were all playing like Jody. I rate his ability, but question if his game fits into an attacking 4-4-2 with no wide players. He can control the game all he wants, and can pass beautifully, but if there is no-one to feed, it's a waste of a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee john Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 i really cannot believe mooner got pass marks. he was pulled from pillar to post, all over the shop, left his full backs vunerable when posted missing on numerous ocassions, he was out of his depth. i really felt for him, he should not be played wide, he just can't do it. Big mstake from Del. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott1884 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Enckelman as he prevented us from getting a real drubbing. Ando & Callum Davidson also played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinny Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 robertson was shocking but has not played much football last few seasons think in time he will come good anderson was poor for me he was out of position alot and played them onside alot main problem was no natural wide men in midfield need some pace there believe we have the forwards to get goals this season if we can get the wingers to supply them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Rourke Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Morris showed his class as did Enks who made some wonderful stops. Frazer Wright can only get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.mcneil99 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 why did nobody feel the need to either shoot or cross on so many occasions? never gonna score if we dont get the ball into the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint O'Leith Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Callum showed his class today, for me anyway. Twice the player Grainger will ever be Enckleman was class, clearly he should have been dropped though after last week and we should have played our reserve keeper that everyone seems to have seen a multitude of times in the irish league.

Markinch Saint Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Encks for me, still a bit suspect at corners and needs to know when to come and claim the ball and when not to, but thought he showed real quality on 2 or 3 occassions when in one on one situations or shot stopping.

THE LARK SAINT Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Encks for me,impressed with Wright and Ando did ok, would like to see them given time to form a partership, same goes for Haber and Sheridan, they did ok and should also be given time to form a partnership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDuncM Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Morris showed his class as did Enks who made some wonderful stops. Frazer Wright can only get better. Ditto. If more players had the vision of Morris we would be on easy street. Callum Davidson did ok in spells as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Morris for me. I agree with Andrew that he can sometimes be too negative, but today he tried to get things doing but had no options to pass forward to, due to a static midfield. Muzz getting a vote is hard to understand, load of silly fouls in first half and went missing in second. Disappointing after he was so influential last week, he just doesn't contribute enough when we are in possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
