AlBear. 8,499 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 How is a player you haven't seen a relevant contrast? What you haven't seen of Wabara makes you think he can tackle? 180 minutes out of a season then... He has clearly improved, as has our defence since the start of the season. MW made a point to affect our play around being more solid at the back and not so gung ho. People remember what they want to remember just to suit their opinion. In general nearly every Rangers fan on here clearly expects 90+ minutes of perfection every week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Tav would be perfect in a back 5 but Warbs probably won't go that way so he'll struggle big time as we play better teams which is sad caus he's a great lad and as good as anything going forward.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,479 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Its like watching a lower division steven whittaker, Few of us called it in the st mirren game at ibrox early season that tav is rotten at the back, will probably offer more overall but in games against good opposition he is more noticable for his lack of defensive abilities Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav is the new Waghorn, it's the RM way. Â Lose a game, go Iinto meltdown and find a scapegoat. Total Complacency in every department and still missing far too many chances.

Or is it just another example where we pluck a name out of thin air and just assume they are better? If so, do we miss McAusland or Sinnamon? Tav is not a naturally defensive player but, for those who haven't noticed, we don't play with defensive fullbacks and offensively, his predominant role in how we play, he has been immense for us. A revelation. He has come on in recent months defensively though, but we are happier defining our team and players off of just 90 minutes every week rather than looking at the whole picture. People want perfection. Good luck with that. Only a few weeks ago this place was full of adulation for how much he's improved and become better and now threads doing an autopsy on the guy for a poor 30 mins!?

ChesterPerry 472 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 9 hours ago, BEE said: Was at game and surprised to not see anything on him, he offers nothing defensively - he got ripped to pieces off Obadeyi vs Killie and I think this is going to be a common occurance. Of course he's been outstanding going forward, but needs to work on his defending. Did we miss a player in Wabara? He assisted our first which wins him plus points but he is a real problem just now. I don't know if he needs benched or what the issue is with him, maybe confidence? But who do we have that can step in? MW strikes me as a loyal guy so it will be interesting to see how he combats this in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD.1872 890 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Without a doubt he needs competition for his RB slot next season. Dundee game aside, his fingers been up his arse for the past 6 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,513 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 A cracking attacking right back An average defending right back that's our Tav Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacStoner_96Bear_ST 27 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 These coments are what the rest of scottish footballs fans want to hear, then they can sit and pass it on without even having seen our players, the thing is he probably switched off last night but there's no doubt in my mind he is the best RB in scotland and can also defend. He also didn't get ripped off Obadeyi that's just because Obadey looks athletic you have honed in but  the reality is Tav put a wet blanket over him.

The Rangers FC 751 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'd like to see us bring in another RB for next season. I reckon Tav would be better utilised as a winger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 He just needs to concentrate and stop fucking about and he will be fine.such a handfull going forward and one of many highlights of this season for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rangers FC 751 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 His goals and assists for a RB is unreal. He is basically playing as a wingback at the moment anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirWeiss69 802 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 he is a terrible defender but is good going forward. I would bring in another rightback and push him further up field or use him as a sub and put him on the wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I am far more concerned about the middle of our defence that Tav. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 792 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 He needs to focus on defending first then any attacking is a bonus. That'll still mean plenty of forward play but he must be able to return to his first and most important duty, at the back, whenever he's needed.

skinnymate1690 620 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 He hasnt been great recently and defensively there has always been questions. However i think the boy needs a rest. Same with a couple otheres that have played virtually every minute this season.  They look burnt out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yet again our woeful midfield escape free of criticism, watch Halliday and Shiels at their last goal, shocking. Tav, contender for poty, is the new Zelalem.  Yes needs to work on defending. Others  alo need to drop back in coverage when he bombs forward.  Forrester is one of the few forward players willing to track back when Wallace charges forward.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is spot on Tavs positioning and Tackiling are suss at times but the middle of our defense is all over the place as soon as a balls delivered anywhere near our box. This for me needs dealt with the most before other issues in the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 516 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The loss of 6 goals in just two matches is troubling though not an issue as such in terms of winning the Championship which is basically a done deal already.  But unless it's just a blip it could undoubtedly be a serious issue for next season.  Luckily we have a full close season ahead to remedy it.

Wednesday Loyal 998 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Might be a bit controversial but I watched Tav when he was on loan at Wednesday and he seems to think he is a better player than he is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
