jamess 3,407 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 A player to trust to put in the team. You know what you will get. Does a lot of tracking back and I find myself applauding his efforts more than most. I appreciate him and am always glad to see him on the team sheet.

the old guard 2,321 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 His best games have come at Ibrox, would like to see him up his game away from home, lacks consistency for me but he's not alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the stick seems weird, for me he is just short of whats required in attack but he makes up for that massively in defence and off the ball work, he's a grafter and a lot of times that is good enough in scottish football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeRab 2,698 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Love his work rate and his attitude. But a winger who is best known for “tracking back” doesn’t win you titles. Not enough quality/end product given how much ball he gets. Our biggest problem has been scoring enough goals. 8 in the last 11. Tav/Kent/Morelos/Arfield are enough of a threat. Candeias is the weak link out of the attacking players. Great in Europe when there is more emphasis on tracking back and he gets more time on the ball.

OrangeRab 2,698 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Probably going to take some pelters for this example.. But Candeias played 17 scored 4 assist 3 Forrest played 18 scored 8 assist 9 This title is going to be won or lost by a handful of points. A quality winger who gets us closer to 8 goals and 8 assists instead of 4 and 3 in the second half of the season wins us the title.

The problem hasn't been our defense, it's been a lack of goals. 8 in the last 11 games. Would you change Morelos? probably not. Tav, nope. Arfield or Kent? nope. Barisic maybe coming back gives more going forward than Halliday. But if you want to look at where marginal gains can be made i would say its Candeias. I love the guy, he has been a great signing and has a place in the squad. But yes i absolutely believe a real quality winger could make the difference. This league will be won by less than 6 points. Fine margins Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But quite often it is to cover Tav being so far up the pitch....attacking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose-11 195 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Runs around a lot and tries hard. Unfortunately doesn’t have the ability to match. Will be a useful squad player once we have a proper right winger though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfielders have not scored enough goals in the first 6 months. For all Davis further increases our quality i'm still not sure there are a lot of goals in there.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Love the guy. Was fucking immense today. Kent on the left, him on the right, there aren't anymore who show the commitment they both have. It all shows we have good options. I'm happy with the squad.

Finny 5,458 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I still don't understand the grieve he gets. Ok he doesn't get every ball into the box but it's a different game from wanting you're winger to get to the by line and put it onto the strikers head every game that's finished now. Offers so much to the team. Blue Avenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
