I thought we were absolutely shite. 

Defensively sound but if you don’t pose any threat then the inevitable will happen. A real disappointment. 

We were.

Was like a game against the old Glasgow Rangers, Robsons tactics were out of date and they were singing the billy boys(thought that was banned?).

1 touch then launch to try and put a forward directly in on goal. Alternatively sometimes just launch without the initial touch. What a masterclass from Robson. 

Poor formation/ starting line up conceding the midfield and throw in Ruby doing Ruby things on a few occasions and Hayes doing Hayes things in possession and realistically we never had a chance.

Agree with you on that, the billy boys song should be left in the past.

Clement is definitely our best manager in a long time.

Also Dessers was so shite it was painful. We need a goal scorer. 

Tav deserved that so much for the amount of times our own fans have questioned his mentality.

It’s worked against them the last few times so why change it? Our best chance of winning the cup was by getting in behind them. To do that, you need them to push up and have a high defensive line. 

A lot will be made of having no shots on target but we had the ball in good areas a good few times, only to show a lack of composure or quality. I don’t think that’s Robson’s fault.

We were never going to outplay them and boss the ball so our best chance was to stifle Rangers and stay in the game for as long as possible, which we did. Unfortunately, our attacking threat largely wasn’t there.

We were 5-4-1 when we won at ibrox, not 3-5-2. The formation today conceded midfield before a ball was kicked.

the mind of a ‘reasonable’ Sevco fan
 

They really should stop signing about Bobby sands/billy boys…

 

But they win all the time so I’ll keep actively supporting and  paying money into the club…

Different number of strikers but a very similar set up. For all we conceded the midfield, we had more of the ball today than any other recent game against them.

Disappointed with the result but I don't think the performance was a bad as a lot of others. Felt we defended well but just lacked the composure going forward. That wasn't helped mind you by Don Robertson refusing to give us a single 50-50. We definitely are lacking in the centre of the park who can actually control the game a bit. Hopefully we can kick on in the league and get some wins at home before sorting that out in January.
