Hopefully he can develop into our main CB in a couple of years. To be expected when they have fuck all midfield in front of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfideldo 4,406 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I did say he was a much better long term prospect than Bates, in football terms he is three years younger than Bates. Ross McCrorie would have been ahead of both of them if he wasn't out on loan. The three 18 year old's did really well and they are 1999's therefore Under 18 in football terms. Good to see them progress the same centre back pairing lost four goals in a Development League game against Dundee United in October, so they have make good progress this season.

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We should just play the under 20's team with Wes & Kenny and tell the rest to fuck off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietspam 733 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Beerman, Wilson and Barjonas looked the best players on the park tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothianbear 361 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 MOTM for me was the guy in the Copeland who tried to shorten our misery by running away with the ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed to a point, but they still look lost when anybody gets round the back our runs right at them. But they are young lads so as I said hopefully with a couple more years of development he can be our mainstay CB for the next 10 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some hairy moments, but Toral offered no support, and there were points where they went for the keeper's ball as Foderingham wasn't shouting for it. I think they're an improvement on Wilson & Kiernan. Main problem is that Miller kept having to come back to try to organise them, giving us less options further up the pitch. That's where someone like Bruno Alves is needed. Even Hill wasn't organising the defence that well; we need a communicator in there - and one who won't stand for shitebags trying to pin the blame on their own fuck ups on the defence. Both Bates and Wilson did well, both read the game and stand up to forwards rather than lunging in, Wilson looks the more composed of the pair as Bates seems to lack confidence. Be happy to play either alongside an experienced CB but no matter who is there they need a midfield to protect them -- was a problem last season, a disaster this season and is still our major issue.

DeanMK 4,670 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 In all honesty, I thought all the u-20 kids done well tonight. Showed up the first team "pros". (apart from Bates's inability to pass a ball more than 10 yards.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LochendBilly 8,413 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Barjonas was good, he could become a great with the right mentoring. Aidan Wilson can be proud of his performance. The future is bright......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariuszAdamczuk 548 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thought the young lads all did well tonight, put their colleagues to shame by actually taking some responsibility and trying to take us forward. How Wilson hasn't been playing ahead of Bates is a mystery to me, you can feel everyone in the stadium gettting nervous when Bates is anywhere near the ball Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Bates looks much more comfortable with defensive positioning - in general - and clearing his lines than he does playing the ball. I think he'll only improve so much in that regard; think he'll always be more of an old fashioned centre back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,836 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 its ?Beerman for me. I see a player beyond his old firm nightmare. In fact I see a superstar in the makings. I don't see it in Bates and the jury is still to in Wilson in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaujolais 1,371 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Aidan Wilson- good friend of my son- they played together at Ardencaple- has never been anything but a Rangers loving fan- level headed, hard working, and respectful. Clearly a prospect who adds value to the Club. Let's not start the "Taigy" insinuations, and instead support and enjoy watching the performances of one of our own. Looking forward to seeing him prosper. It is good to see young talent emerging. Well done to all those who have developed and coached these young players- both at Auchenhowie and Ardencaple.

BailliestonTB 270 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The kids solid. Also beerman could b a star in the making, bates seems to live by the if in doubt rule not too keen on him but there's plenty of time for him to develop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 one of the things that has struck me about the young guys that have come in is that physically, they look capable. They dont look like wee boys trying to compete with men. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
