Sorry, I know this is his first full game - but nah!
Yogi should have taken him off before the 2nd half
Thought he was slow, lazy and out of depth for hibs (IMPO)
Suppose we have to give him a chance but sadly, I'm no impressed yet.

Probably needs to get his match fitness up. We'll need to give him more time.

As I said on the match update thread, I think it's too soon to be getting on his back. He looked good coming on against the Sheep and Montrose.
Remember what Stokes was like when he was getting his first full starts.

He wasn't at the races today but let's give the boy a ****ing chance.
This thread was utterly predictable, sadly.

Thought it was the wrong game to start him-Hughes was obviously trying to give Rangers something different to think about.

Sadly, this is the first time I have felt Yogi was a bit out his depth here as well. (I still absoultely love Yogi)

As well as not playing well whe the ball did come his way I think he suffered from the lack of ball that did go his way - in much the same way that Riordan has hardly had a touch recently. We don't get the ball out to the left hand side for some reason.

he has not played many games in the last year so fitness may well be the issue but his distribution was as bad as imaginable. That freekick he wasted was absolutely honking.
Shouldn't be starting any games at the present - just building up from the bench.

I think Yogi was looking for a wee bit more on the application/pace side up front today which is why he went with Gow in favour of Deeks - he looked a bit rusty though and I can see the argument that he could have been subbed a bit earlier.

He's played 3 games (I think) with us, 2 of them coming on as a sub. One he's been on from the start. Okay, a bad day today but then losing 3-0, I think every player has had a bad day.
It comes as no surprise that some folk will find another whipping boy now that Rankin has come onto a bit of a game but, give the guy some time, ffs.

He wasn't that bad and all this about Yogi being out of his depth is nonsense IMO too.
We played some great stuff first half and der Hun weren't in the game. Second half Laferty (as pish as he is) made a difference for them and they started taking the game to us. Sadly the whole team drifted out the match at this point, not just Gow and certainly not on account of Yogi's tactics.

He's had long enough - not good enough.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

to be honest i don't think gow is going to be a big game player for us but he will be handy to have coming of the bench to give stokes or riordan a rest against smaller teams

think Yogi was trying a bit of psychology with Gow, giving him the chance to show the Huns what they were missing. that backfired tbh, and i think this one was 5-6 weeks of regular football too soon for him.
personally i don't think we should take too much from his performance today

Can you explain why you think Yogi was out of his depth. If you're referring to his tactics, I thought they were spot on until the 1st goal which, incidentally, was always going to be very crucial.
Defo not out of his depth versus Smith and McCoist. Team played well in 1st half and only lost their way after what I thought was a rather dubious penalty.

Guilty as charged - I was fuming watching him today, not purely because he had a poor game, but because I was delighted when we signed him and was very disappointed by how he played today - I expected so much more.
Given time to build up his fitness and re-adjust to life in the SPL, I think he'll do more good than bad over the course of the season, as lets face it, he has a chance to land a permanant move if he impresses. Perhaps just a wee bit too soon for a starting berth.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
