Yup, that is problem some folk have. Finish 4th last season and they expect that all the time. Losing 1-0 at ibrox is hardly a crisis but some of the reaction is bonkers

I wonder if jake GR right back is sn option

I been waiting all day to see what folk have been saying and its embarssing to say the least.The toxic levels on social media some of things being said today these people are beyond having a word with themselves. We have lost one game of league football i repeat one game of league football,got put out of Europe by the joint leaders of the Bundesliga and got put out of the cup by top club in the Championship unbeaten so far this season!(not that i think thats a good thing btw but it is what it is). We are not the same as last season people need to let if the fek go its progress we are still progressing.

Always disappointing to lose a game, but we need to be realistic here. It was always going to be a huge ask to take anything from a team who will finish second in the league, in their own back yard. We've had a hectic and punishing early season schedule and that clearly took its toll today. Now the players can look forward to a 10 day rest and AJ will have some time on the training ground to get across more of his ideas. If you'd said to me a few weeks ago that we'd draw with Falkirk, beat Dundee United and lose narrowly to Sevco I'd have bitten your hand off for it. As for the minutae of the game, hopefully AJ has learnt some valuable lessons too. I would hope that he now realises that TJ is no main striker for example. No one individual to blame today, but I agree with Grizzly over Cookie and I half expected him to go out on loan to a Championship club. That may still happen. I'm not convinced that RB is a settled position. Right now, I'd say that Johnny Koutroumbis, although injury prone, is clearly No 1. SOD's days there may well be numbered, if not over, and Tom Sparrow has done a passable job as an emergency stand in, but thats all he is. A wee bit concerned to hear that some players were a little awe struck at Ibrox. Manny Longelo again appeared to be left isolated on the left as we concentrated our efforts on the right. These are all detailed issues, hopefully, that AJ can sort out in the coming days.

The problem is some of our fans are believing the hype. Against Dundee United we played well but we were against 10 men for 75 minutes. To listen to the media and some of our fans you'd think we were world beaters and we weren't, just as today we were poor but we weren't as bad as some are making out. We are 3 points better off after same games as last year. . It also took us until 25/10/2025 to win two league games. We also lost to Falkirk at home in round 8 and the second half performance in that game was worse than today. So lets take a deep breath of reality.

Its always the same when we lose a game, suddenly half the team are rotten and questions to be asked. We lost a game, its our first defeat of season, it happens

Changed days. 59% possession at Ibrox and getting beat by a single goal is regarded as a really poor performance. Not meant as a slight on the comments from anyone but rather a reflection on how far we have progressed that this is how we view today’s game. just wait till AJ gets them all sorted out and they come to Fir Park.

Aberdeen hopefully get a bruising tiring 120 mins game at Rugby park next Saturday before they play us on the Tuesday. Be nice for us to be the team that has rested.

I’m thinking it is going to be a great season but as always with a few bumps along the road.

It`s worse on the MFC Facebook page. "A mundane season ahead" For the love of god.

Bang On.

True…. Unfortunately we did have a few today. It’s frustrating as I think we all know we are better than that. Really poor performance

If you want MFC to play out from the back, which is the basis of our possession play, then the odd mistake is inevitable. Paulsen has been excellent this year but simply made a misjudgement today. Donnarumma of Man City committed a howler that escaped a goal by about three cms today so it can happen to the best of GKs. Even then I thought we could have scored but three reasonable chances went a-begging in the first half and we looked out of it in the second: knackered. The international break for once has come at the right time for us. I'm pretty sure we'll come back strongly against The Mutton Molesters. Alfred was honest in his post-match comments and I'm sure we'll make amends.

I only saw the end of the first half but saw the second half in full and we can have no complaints, Rangers were well worth their win and indeed would have won by more if they had been more clinical. It’s obviously very frustrating that the goal they did manage to score only came about because we gifted it to them. I cannot stress just how much I hate seeing goalkeepers trying to be footballers in their own box. We saw it last year with Ward at Celtic Park and today again with Paulsen and it cost us both times. Del continues to have a hold over us it seems. We couldn’t beat his Hearts team last season even with JBA and today Rangers nullified us with a side typical of one managed by him, disciplined and dogged and get the job done.

Think we getting carried away with ourselves at times. We haven't done anything yet. Looks promising but wait and see.

Missing the most important part there

Correct.

Regarding the theme of the last few posts, Rangers probably played as well as they have done this season whereas we put in a performance similar in quality to the game against Falkirk. Still we only got beat by one goal that we literally gifted them.

Not sure what this team & manager needs to do to earn some leeway from some of our fans. I get folk being disappointed with the result, and everyone is entitled to give their opinion on the performance, particularly second half. But cheesy peeps, some of these takes are wild!

As I said we played poorly and even at that Rangers only got 6 shots on target and would have scored with none of them had it not been a keeper gift. They still only got one goal that we gifted as poorly as we played. Folk need to get some perspective. I said before the game I thought too many Motherwell fans were thinking we'd turn them over comfortably that was never going to happen at Ibrox.

Exactly this

Well lets fact check that. Rangers 1 Hibs 2 Rangers had 27 shots at goal.

The first two for me haven't had enough proper gametime. I think big Eythor deserves a chance to play over 90 mins, we need to add a little physicality to that area

And its true.

Never seen the game like I said but the issue is rangers have been dire this season so we should have been able to lay a glove on them would very much doubt any other team has conceded 27 shots seb should have started up front & we should have had a go at it fadinger looks like he needs a rest, maybe said as well & we need to start playing with a purpose to hurt teams
