Agree that Kolli is definitely developing, though he was as in and out today as he likely will continue to be for a while, and that Walsh looks like a keeper (in both senses). Also agree with the poster who pointed out we need a lot more technical quality if we're to go anywhere. |

Chair and Burrell could have swung it, as we'd have got amongst their central defenders and kept possession a lot better - both of which we struggled to do during the game. Varane would just have trotted around in his usual half-dazed way and created nothing. |

I know Kone got his goal today, and I know he's still learning his trade at a higher level, but for me he continues to underdeliver. |

I don't think there's too much wrong with our team spirit, but we need to do so many things so much better: keeping possession; winning possession; passing; crossing; shooting . . . [Post edited 11 Jan 17:09]

No Burrell, no Chair, and now Mbengue and Kolli subbed off making it look like a bridge too far. But it's the Cup and we need to pull out all the stops for 15 minutes.
Just leave it all on the pitch, Rangers! [Post edited 11 Jan 17:00]

Ref making some absolutely exasperating decisions over free kicks. Penalised Madsen before for a foul that never was and seems to have carried on from there, the claret-faced tw*t. |

Eh? It was a brilliant goal, and really brought home even a floppy West Spam are still a cut above us.
20 minutes to pull it back, albeit with only one striker on the pitch, and at least one square peg in a round hole. |

I think we've not done badly with who we have/don't have out there, but our lack of creativity in midfield and quality up front has been manifest.
Dembele, where footballing quality seems to go to its grave, then assists for the equaliser from Kone, who's also achieved little.
I guess what I'm saying is, strange/rare things can happen. |

Effort and shape are there: the quality just hasn't been. They could, and probably should, have been one or two up before their sickener (regarding which, if you lose all of your challenges, you tend to concede).
At least the club has put out something resembling a 1st XI for the first time since 1492. |

Enjoying the game so far from my chilly position among the 9,000, mobile in hand/across the Irish Sea (delete according to need).
(Utterly hilarious, meantime, that the presiding presence of LfW is supposed to know me better than I know myself, but that's what treating a football message board like a cult can do to you.) |

I wasn't in for 10p, was in for cover price + tip, so can now reveal I'll see you/won't see you there.
4-4, and we lose on pens. |
