Controlled the first half well and battled hard in the second as Brum pressed. And what a goal by Willock.
That we're winning games with a few key players out is a good sign, albeit against out of form opposition.
Onwards and upwards we go. |  | | |

Dunne just MOTM for me with Willock running him very close. Great to see the two who have been copping harsh criticism recently putting in a performance like that. |  | | |

Any chance we could play a BC away next match? |
We are playing a BC next away game,assuming bloody coventry counts? |  | | |

That little spell including our second goal we looked brilliant - if we can play like that on a sustained basis there won't be many who can live with us.
Brum were about as poor as I've seen from an opposition team this season but a good clinical display and really kept our shape and concentration at the back. The back three were all excellent. | | | |

An annoying 1-0 defeat. Don't know why - just 40+ years of support. Twas ever thus. |
Lovely to be proved wrong...well done the lads. Not the old Rangers I knew. Real 'bouncebackability' in every way. And a fine goal again from Willock. [Post edited 2 Jan 2022 16:16]

Back in the big time!
I missed this game, but by all accounts sounds like we played better than the Bristol game?
I'm starting to believe this team can get into the play-offs. |  | | |

Think Dickie, Wallace and Barbet were the bedrock of that performance. | |

Anyone know if FA Cup games count for suspensions, as WBA had two players sent off, including Mowatt? We're playing them next in the league but obviously there's the cup game in between. |  | | |

For a two yellows=red sending off, it would only be a two match ban if the sending had been his second of the season. |

Willock had been criticised for being a bit anonymous the previous two or three games but he really stepped up and terrified them whenever he got the ball. That goal must be a strong contender for Championship goal of the month. When you think we played most of the match with just Amos and Field - both back after major injuries - in central midfield with Willock further forward its encouraging others can step up in place of Chair and Stef. Fully expected Ball to come on late but clearly the manager didn't feel we were under that much pressure. | | | |

I think we played well today, Birmingham are pretty awful! But I still don't think Rangers are playing to their full potential!! |  |

Unpopular view but I would give as many as possible a week off and play second string and kids for Rotheram . Too many running on empty . ..iMO |
Not unpopular with me. | | | |

FT REPORT
The good and the not so good.
We won, two very well taken goals, now in 5th spot, a point behind West Brom and with a game in hand.
The goals - a calm, beautifully struck first half goal by Uncle then yet another brilliant goal by Willock.
He sped past two defenders close to the by-line and hammered in a cracker.
But let's be honest for most of the match we defended and defended and defended.
No midfield control at all which leaves the question why?
This was against a side that admittedly tried hard but not much quality
Were we so defensive because we had no creative Chair - now I presume already in Cameroon?
Was this a ploy by Warbs to defend and defend?
If so that's a big change of tactic. And if so it worked.
Just one mistake which allowed Aneke to halve the deficit 15 minutes from time.
I have to say I'm a bit perplexed by our performance and the way we played.
But it is another 3 points - 6 in just 3 days - and another win on the road.
So I'm just going to enjoy a great start to the year, hope that Jordan Archer has a great month replacing AFCON-bound Seny, and take my hat off to Warbs - whatever he's doing he's the best manager we've had in years - cos we keep winning!! | | | |

Thought Field was excellent today and probably his best game for us
Broke up play and was always calm in possession | | | |

He's passed the amnesty date for five yellows for a ban but his two yellows = a red card sending off still means he gets a suspension. |
He did - last match | | | |

Wow, great win. Was afraid before the match that Deeney would f*ck us somehow but apart from a period in the second half we mostly held Birmingham at arm's length.
Willock back to his best. Dieng composed again, we're going to miss him. But we really need Dykes to find form again soon, that's my main worry atm! |  |

We have been criticised for playing too much ticky tack football without a plan B - today we had a weaker midfield but two up front. Think it was a clear change of tactic to go more direct and miss out the midfield a bit. Actually quite liked the way Dunne and co just put their laces through some clearances rather than always trying to play out - even if last ten mins or so we prob could have done with a bit more composure. I actually thought we played pretty well - much better than against Bristol. | | | |

BBC has us at 41% possession which is the mirror of what we'd normally have. Does that sound right (I didn't see the game)? | |

Thanks. I think the Mowatt one was for serious foul play, so will be a three match ban anyway? | | | |
