What are we all realistically expecting? An away point would be a really nice start, 3Pts and i'm deffo going on the piss. But seriously, it is a huge ask for us to get anything out of todays game with so many key players missing. While hoping for any type of result i really want and expect a performance. I am really looking forward to see how MH sets the team up, what type/style of play we will attempt and most importantly how the fringe players respond. Will Hill, Buzz etc take their chance? The fact we slipped into the bottom 3 yesterday might add a little extra pressure but i really really want to see a response from our team. Can't imagine a MH team not giving 100% and picking up a few yellows in showing that we are no longer a soft touch. Come on you Rrrrsssssssssssss
A similar sort of performance to the one at Everton where a pretty 'weak' side battled for everything, rode their luck and nicked it. Even a defeat wouldn't be the end of the world if the team go down fighting...
I expect a battling performance and cant see us getting beat. We,ll be set up to play on the counter and frustrate them from the 1st whistle. The team selection will be very interesting with a couple of surprises.
with a new gaffer, you can bet that the selected first team squad will be going all out to impress. that said, i feel we could lack in midfield (Ali, Barton, Troare etc) and defence but take great heart in the fact goal machine Demba Ba isn't playing. Will be very happy with a point, and a battling performance to the one at Loftus Rd. Hopefuly no injuries picked up, and we can then beat franchise on Tuesday (s'funny how one a small strip of frozen ground stopped their game being played and acordng to wnkleman last night it was an "error" on their part), and a win next weeken against Wigan. Come on Rangers, next chapter in our history......
The big factor today is both teams are missing integral players. It all goes down to which team adapts to the changes that have been forced upon them. So far we have always been spanked when forced in to changes, but then we have the new manager and hopefully get that extra bit of performance out of the players who are trying to prove themselves. A point would be fantastic. 3 points and we're in La La Land. But realistically this is a game that we will be hard pushed to get anything from. I just hope some of our more mentally challenged supporters don't start having a go at Hughes for the defeat, if we lose.
