Yes.

[Liam_RFC 238]

Matt crooks isn't a defender don't know why people keep trying to put him there he played a few games as it but he's made the CDM position what he's good at that's where he was outstanding last season not in defence

Two new defenders, a new goalie and another new striker needed.

Foderingham has saved us about 3 times already this season.

I was hoping that he'd be a decent CB but have seen absolutely nothing of him in that role. I'm assuming not many have. You see him playing for Accrington?

Doubt it was intended for him to come in and play CB but he might be the answer?

He could be the answer as imo he's a better CB than Wilson & Kiernan.

They're saying he played centre half in the friendly he played yesterday.

According to the interview Crooks gave the clubs website the other night , he only really played CB for a short period when he was on loan a couple of seasons ago . He spoke of playing more as a box to box midfielder although he did say he would be prepared to play anywhere for a first team spot . From that interview , I took it that MW had not really discussed playing CB with him . He certainly has the physical attributes to play there added to his footballing ability , he could be the answer . Should have been sorted before now though .

Hopefully Crooks is the answer , the rest are shite.

I voted Kiernan, cause Wilson is absolutely the worst of the two imo, but I sincerely hope Crooks steps up.

[Stoorie 1,088]

I think any one of our two CBs will improve greatly, with an experienced head along side them that can meet a ball in the air, and clear it.

Not voting. As it could be either one who gets the jersey.

in your opinion. Getting sick of defending the guy on here, he gets it rotten but is nowhere near as bad as some make out.

Oh come on,he fucking is and Wilson is only slightly better so i'd play Senderos and Wilson. That's my opinion of course.

Fair enough just looked it up but also read his interview after it when he was getting asked where he sees himseld

fitting in and he says it him self people saying he's a defender and he doesn't know where they get it from and he spent all last season as a Center midfielder and that's the position Rangers would have seen him play. 

 

But also he says he will play at the back if it gets him in the team ?

[dbyst 570]

reluctantly voted for wilson but hoping we get 2 def in really 

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

Let's call it as it is. If Kiernan and Wilson are central defenders, the pope's a prod. Worst two in his league by a country mile.

[jackrfc95 4,255]

Crooks has said this week he's a centre mid and played there all last season so not sure how anyone could make a case for him playing at centre back without seeing him play there.

Absolutely disagree. Might not be Rangers class, but no where near worst in the league. 

[Gaffbear 4,096]

Keirnan for me .Wilson is a bombscare and matt crooks has said he's not a cb

[WGOH 2,344]

Voted Crooks just fur the fun of it 

[LeeWallaceRFC 3,920]

People need to accept that both Wilson and Kiernan are going absolutely nowhere. Warburton rates both, whether you like it or not.

Kiernan has not long signed a new deal, and they both have contracts for another couple of years.

[kyleh1872 87]

Kiernan and Senderos, hopefully Crooks in the future. I think wilson and Kiernan need to be shown from the gaffer that their performances are below par by not being selected when the opportunity arises. Kiernan and Wilson are so similar in terms of actual ability the only differences really between them are that Wilson, can spread the ball about really well (would probably be a better CDM) but i think he is an utter shitebag, he lacks commitment aggression and intensity. Kiernan lacks the good distribution is good with the ball at his feet and has a bit more intensity and aggression about him, and playing with someone like senderos who has a bit of a authority and is a leader will have Kiernan come on leaps and bounds. I don't think Wilson will ever really improve much on his current ability.

[Frase85 1]

I can't quite get my head around Wilson. He was outstanding when he was at us first time around. Albeit he was playing alongside David Weir. Struggling to understand how he has become so poor. 

[Rangers Lady 2,380]

 

 

After shipping daft goals, most when we have been dominating, how in fucks name did Wilson lose McDonald for the goal

He stuck with him, did the hard work, then the ball gets played into his area and he steps away from his fucking man, stood like a fanny with his hand up, Inside our 6 yard box, centre of the fucking goal

All the other options for their attack were covered, stay with his man and we don't concede

 

 

 

 

Brutal, gaffer should drop him 

 

Wilson FFS

 

 

[jackrfc95 4,255]

I didn't just read that Danny Wilson would be a better defensive midfielder.

That is the classic case of ball watching; to be fair to Wilson he isn't the only one that appears to be doing that. That happened again, in the second half where he watched a looping ball that possibly he misread the trajectory of and ended up losing his man who nearly scored. We were fortunate, with the help of some great goalkeeping, not to have lost more than one goal in that match.
