Could have probably moved to a decent premier league side when he left us but followed the money and ended up at Besiktas instead. I'm sure he's had a few injury problems as well which probably haven't helped his career path either. Still waiting on him telling us all "the truth" given the amount of times he promised it on Twitter after leaving us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't rate Foderingham at all and hope he moves on with his mates in the summer. How the fuck can anyone not rate him after this season ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example, although we actually won the game, would be the Morton game at Ibrox where we went through despite his best efforts to fuck things up. Firstly by conceding a fucking shin roller from 25 yards and then almost conceding another after charging out to take the ball from Hodson but changing his mind at the last second (a move we would see from him again at Hampden) and proceeding to run around the edge of the box like a headless chicken as the Morton player had a free shot at an open goal. Let's be honest here, he's a good shot stopper but overall he's a bit of a bomb scare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have done better with the 2nd goal as well. His positioning practically invited Billy McKay to aim for that far post. He did save a penalty though, as he's a decent shot stopper.

Very good shot stopper, stays on his line a bit too much (although since pedro arrived has started coming for more crosses), decent distribution and not the best decision making. imo He's definitely good enough to play in a title winning team and not someone I'd actively look to replace (unless he has a complete fuck up of a season) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think, unless we were complete runaway leaders at the top of the table, he could potentially concede enough of those soft goals to cost us the title. He wouldn't be first on my list of players we need to replace but he'd definitely be on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 7-8 games this season where Wes has almost single handedly kept us in the game, that's without counting the games where if it wasn't for him we would have been onto a hiding (the 1-1 game at Parkhead and the 2-1 game at Ibrox) but as always with a GK, mistakes are remember much more than the saves. I'm pretty sure he was runner up on our player of the season and the players player of the season! His distribution could be improved, although I think he sticks to the drill too much sometime where can you see he wants to do something but is forced to follow pre-determined instructions. GK is one position we don't need to worry about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK is one position we don't need to worry about. Please don't embarrass yourself by telling me Wes has kept us in Old Firm games. He's been our keeper when they've hammered 5 goals past us on 2 separate occasions this season and of those 10 goals he could shoulder the blame for at least half of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Foderingham is fine but his lack of aerial command pisses me off sometimes. Good shot stopper though and folk moaning about his distribution need to be shown the countless 60-70 yard passes he's pinged to McKay to set us off on an attack.

I think most people are probably just hoping Alnwick is a better keeper because they recognise that Foderingham isn't the best. Being put in for the last game of the season makes it seem like it was a bit of a pity start from Pedro though as the guy was signed in January and hasn't been given a sniff of action.

Speaking of McGregor where the fuck is he now? Since some seem to be welcoming other snakes with open arms back why not get the other snake back aswell. Out of all the dickheads who fucked off, McGregor ain't a snake to me. Apparently Sandy Jardine god bless him, said he was the only one welcome back at Ibrox, as McGregor phoned him & explained why he left, as he didn't trust green etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
