I Dont rate his work rate he has bags of pace and never uses it but he does assist and bang in the goals but he fades away after that which is not good enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly his fault. He's scored/assisted against every team apart from Motherwell this season and at every ground apart from Fir Park & the Piggery. The grief he gets is beyond ridiculous. Stick Morelos or Cummings in the number 10 and see how they get on..... When Murty talks about what he wants Windass to do It usually sounds like he wants Windass to play like a striker but Windass wants to drop deep and pick passes when he doesn’t have the ability to do that.

Probably because he needs to drop deep when our midfield 2 is being overun time & time again which requires him to do a role he can't do, and then nulifies his attacking threat.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Having risen to the bait he's bound to be on the receiving end of more baiting on that twitter thing. I suppose that's modern life for a modern-day footballer. I think he'd be far better off simplifying his football life at Rangers by setting aside his twitter-thingy account and not use it, and instead do his talking on the pitch......assuming he is able to that is. The question that should be front and centre in his mind for the time he is at Rangers is 'can I do better and if I think I can what do I need to do to prove it?' It seems to me that his ego risks parting company with gravity so that he has a more elevated view of himself and is football achievements than is justified by results. Right now he has not contributed to a Rangers side that has won any major trophy in his time at Rangers, nor been close to it. If he thinks what he is doing is enough to be successful at Rangers then I respectfully beg to differ.

Hoss 267 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It always amazes me when people that have a go at players, are usually the ones who have no fucking clue about football. When a strong midfield 2 is played, allowing Josh to stay in his rightful position he is a threat. He certainly does work hard, and the stats prove it.

But to blame Josh Windass for that defeat shows no point in trying to reason with you. We lost that game due to a few things, our centre halves being awful, Murty not having a clue how to react to Rodgers change. You could even blame the wee man buffalo not that I did. Josh Windass scored a goal on two minutes and did nothing rest of the game. He still contributed far more than Sean Goss, wheres the hate for him? It’s not just the tarrier game, he will give you a great game then the next 3 are poor. Ive not got a problem with that he’s young and the manager should be getting him off if it’s not his day. The problem I have with Windass is he thinks he’s playing out of his skin when that’s so far from the truth it’s laughable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our recruitment in January was all based on a 4-2-3-1 formation that plainly doesn't work against better teams. If we want it to work we'll need to sacrifice Windass and put another midfielder in there. Even now, you could play Goss at the base, Docherty & Holt with Murphy at the top. Dorrans and McCrorie will be back over the next week or so as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goss gives me the fear and isn’t physical enough to play at the base has to be Mccrorie or Jack, doubt we’ll see Mccrorie in midfield this season again because of how woeful our CBs are.

graeme_4 34,508 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Problem with Windass is he’s a good counter attacking player, that’s effective when games are open and he has space to use his superior athleticism - but at Ibrox when teams sit in, he doesn’t have the football brain or ability to cut teams open that a no. 10 should have. And we’ve seen he’s not a centre mid, a winger, a no. 10 or a centre forward. Fuck knows where he fits in. Also seems to believe scoring a few goals and finishing 2nd or 3rd constitutes success. Off the park he’d be better turning off social media and concentrating on other things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddistonKnight 1,567 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Some of the nonsense on here. I have giving him stick when its been deserved, but I'll give credit when due. He is far from the failure being made out by many on here, and was far from the worst on Saturday. He made three good runs in the first half and no one picked him out. That's not his fault. On the other hand he did run around like a headless chicken once or twice. In short, he's getting way too much stick when you actually look at his performance over the piece. 25 goals and assists lays lie to the workrate issue - fuck was he standing on the line and letting the ball hit off of him?

RFCRobertson 11,778 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Fucking baffling how folk can take issue with someone who has 17 goals and 8 assists. 3rd top scorer in the league just 1 goal behind Morelos. Yeah the boy can go missing but that can be for different reasons and not purely because "he's shitey". If the midfield is overrun by opposition players, then he'll not get any decent runs in. If he's getting closed down tight again he won't have space and if the team is sitting back while being attacked then he's not going to be there because it's not his duty to defend it's his duty to be there to get the ball to start a counter but again that counts on other players defending the ball and getting it out too him. Furthermore, he doesn't need to be on the ball to be doing work. He can be dragging defenders out of position for someone else to get a chance. He's more than entitled to hit back at cunts who blissfully forget about what he can do, what he's done and what he will keep doing for the club and kingkennymiller can take a fuck to himself, 110% sure you're a fucking taig anyway.
