Prso's headband 35,285 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Firstly anyone know why Wilson wasn't even in the squad today? Injured I presume?I thought Ball was outstanding today, won every tackle and from my recollection never wasted the ball when making a pass. Looks faster and fitter than Wilson IMO and it showed with their pacey striker up top, Ball handled him well. Really enjoyed watching him today and out of the three loanees he would probably be the one we have most chance of signing permanently, hes right down the pecking order at spurs and is in his last year and would be a great addition. Hope he plays more regularly after that performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon 1,741 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Ball and Kiernan would be my first choice CBs. Ball has the pace Wilson lacks and Kiernan is a very good defender and can pick out a pass as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 After today he deserves a run in the team. Never realised he was so quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,419 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Yea would defiantly sign him if we can! If he was playing in the st Johnstone game I doubt we would have conceded 3 Kiernan is looking really good too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartM6 279 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Best CB we have. He was brilliant today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,644 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 It's easy, Ball is the better player. Was just a matter of time. Strong, fast and good feet. I would love it if we could sign him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Ball was outstanding with Kiernan not far behind him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds_Bear 8,099 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 He was my MOTM today, closely followed by Mckay. He was fantastic at the back, his positioning is first rate and made some great tackles. Also pinged a few passes which opened up the game. Great performance.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Unless we plan on replacing either Wilson and/or Kiernan for next season it doesn't make a lot of sense to rely on a loanee who likely won't be here next season.Playing Wilson and Kiernan, the managers first choice pair, will not cost us our goals this season. It will only improve their understanding as a pair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger77 742 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Ball and Mckay were the standouts for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thought he had a great game, him and Kiernan are actually very similar. Would be my first choice CBs as well, definitely has more pace than Wilson which we need when our fullbacks are so high up the pitch. Both made a couple of fantastic passes today.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Agree Ball was my man of the match and I also agree today's centre back pairing is our best.Surprised at the positive comments about McKay. I thought he was dreadful and think he is vastly overrated. Fantastic that our 100% record continues and great that we have a side that gives their all up to the final whistle but there is still much to work on.I have also never seen a side win so many corners and execute them so poorly. I'm looking forward to see Rangers play under Warburton when we have better quality players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Buffalo 120 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Ball was excellent. Hope he gets a run in the side. Any word on wilsons injury? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Much preferred seeing Ball play today than Wilson. Wilson has been looking like he can't be bothered for a few matches now and Ball would be the ideal replacement. You have to bit the bullet with players are not performing and Wilson looks very tired and almost past it in one so young. Of course, I never wanted him back in the first place as I suspected he'd be not that enthused by project Rangers and it seems to be the case with him.
