Hoodster 162 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Full backs the world over are shite defensively - football systems have moved on. Full backs are now offensive positions, hence the use of either one or two defensive midfielders. For me the choice between John and Wallace is who is better going forward and that is John. However Wallace and John could be a great partnership down the left with John ahead of Wallace. Only time will tell though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,074 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I like Wallace but John gives us more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Both about the same but John has age on his side to get better. Don't ageee with the idea of playing both of them at the same time. Hopefully our new scouting team can find someone better than both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace has been on the decline but a great servant. Can see him maybe going back through east and playing for a few years. Would be a stalwart in a team below us.

I would sell him asap and use the money to buy a better replacement. Failing that I would play John in LM ahead of Wallace.Who knows, could make a decent partnership - but at the end of the day I feel Wallace just ain't good enough to wear a Rangers jersey. He spent the years he should have been developing in the lower leagues and sacrificed the potential of an international career because he refused to turn his back on us when so many others did. Yes, as a player he has been found wanting but he is certainly not ‘the worst captain in our entire history.’ People have short memories.

MFJ14 464 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 17 minutes ago, sassaaaa said: Wallace would never have made it any higher than the lower leagues. Absolute nonsense. He may not be good enough for Rangers anymore, but to suggest he wouldn’t have played regularly in the SPL over the years is baffling. Your comment about him being the worst captain in our history is pretty embarrassing to be honest. His time may be up, but he’s been an excellent servant to the club and at least didn’t fuck off at the first opportunity when others did.

tannerall 25,935 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Wallace at least proved that he is commited to Rangers, and was loyal and honest during the period of our worst troubles, and took the huge responsibility of being captain at that time. He will forever have my respect for that alone. I also believe he still has the potential to regain his earlier ability and confidence, and can play a major role in the team. Find it sad some posters just dissing him cause he had a drop of form and an injury. Remember he was on the fringes of the national tem and was possibly one of the better performers against England.

Billy1984 6,314 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I think the telling factor is that we haven't missed Wallace in the slightest since he's been injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 John all day long, wallace can't defend, slows play down and as for a captain he isn't even close to being a leader. Not saying john is perfect but he is direct and doesn't get caught out of position constantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,920 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 A fit Lee Wallace for me would be the first name on the team sheet. I think Declan John is good enough for a long term run to allow Wallace to get back to fitness as I think he has been rushed back previously as we had no real cover.

esquire8 42,452 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 John by quite a distance now. I think Wallace has limited time as a left back. Would like to see him as a unorthodox centre back with 3 at the back like how Azpilicueta is used by Chelsea now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
