'A case of deja vu' but McInnes 'needs patience'

[BBC] Rangers fans, we asked for your views after Thursday night's Europa League qualifying first leg defeat to Jagiellonia Bialystok. Here's what some of you had to say: Peter: I'm sorry but I don't see anything to get excited about after two games. The talent on the bench and the lack of talent on the pitch sums up a lot for me. This is going to be a long season. Joseph: We need to give this man time and resources. The constant merry-go-round is not helping the club. We need a new defence - time and time again the players we have in that position are found wanting. Let the man rebuild this great club and return us to the top of Scottish football were we should be. He needs patience at a difficult time for everyone involved with club - fans, players and coaches. Paul: It's a case of deja vu again for this Rangers side. Carrying on from their failings last season, not only domestically, but in Europe too. It's going to be a long and winding road ahead if they can't beat a relatively poor and inexperienced side in Jagiellonia, albeit away from home. The only real positive note was the performance of the inspirational Findlay Curtis in the second half, but more work has still to be done at Ibrox in the return leg if they have any aspirations of salvaging this tie and progressing further in the tournament. John: The loss of soft goals and a worrying lack of midfield creativity once again. Seems to be a recurring theme from last season that we fall behind to teams who then sit in and our response is to just lump hopeful balls into the box, looking for a lucky break. Surely we should be better than this. We need to be. Tom: The subs helped but the slow pace made us easy to defend against. Curtis was the main point of attack but we continually passed the ball out to Ross McCrorie so he could transfer it back to the left. Felt we kept Thelo Aasgard and Youssef Chermiti on for too long as both were poor. I expect us to struggle badly against Hibs Billy: What a big disappointment. The starting lineup was questionable. We signed a goalscorer in Lawrence Shankland, make him captain and then don't start him in a game we need to score. Nico Raskin should have been on from the start. It will need to be some improvement next week if we are to get through.
