  1. How did McCoist look his first season? What about Hately's first season? We persevered with them and look how they turned out.  Then we had Duncan Ferguson, a big money signing that couldn't score in a brothel, we didn't persevere with him though and he went to Everton in a much tougher league and banged them in left right and centre. Sometimes players just need time to settle.

    I, like most PNE fans have been keeping tabs on Garner since his move to Rangers. But only recently have I been watching Rangers matches. Iv noticed some of you love him, and some of you aren't sure. From what I have seen in recent weeks, he has been one of your best players. Admittedly tonight though, he should have done better with that shot from close range in the first half. 

    One thing I will say is how shocked I am at the lack of good crosses you deliver into the box, Iv seen on numerous occasions a Rangers player will have the ball wide, near the 18 yard box, and you will try to work the ball into the box with short passes, rather than whipping the ball in. And when you do decide to cross, Tavernier can't beat the first man. That definitely is a reason Garner isn't scoring as many as I expected he would. He thrives off early deliveries into good areas. You may say tonight he should have been in the box for a couple of low crosses, which I probably agree with, but he came short for McKay's goal, got a shot off and you scored from it. I suspect he is getting tired of making runs in the box because usually the cross doesn't come in! Hence why he was going a bit shorter for the ball tonight. 

    You are only getting 50% of the Joe Garner we know at PNE because of this tippy tappy stuff around the box. Start playing towards his strengths and I have absolutely no doubt that he will start banging goals in on a regular basis. For the past 3 years at PNE our tactic was, get the ball wide and cross it to Garner. And he did the business. I wouldn't say he is a natural finisher with his feet, but get the ball in the air and he is lethal. 

    He is a constant nuisance for defenders, links play up very well and even if he doesn't score, defenders end up doubling up on him allowing other players to benefit and get more room to operate in. He went through a very similar spell at the start of his career at PNE, with around 1 goal in his first 10  and fans unsure. Then he went on to score 25+ goals in the next 2 seasons. 

    An absolute PNE legend and I always laugh when opposition fans hate him. 

    P.S Sutton on commentary must have a vendetta against him. Unbelievable. 

    Well said ?the amount of crosses we try to put into the box that either can't beat the first defender or are fluffed shots straight to row z is diabolical.

    :P

    There may indeed be some fishing going on, but it's not for compliments - or donations! :P 

    The main point of this though is that I didn't think it would be fair of me to start a Fundraiser for next season if members were under the impression that I'd be able to sustain it at these levels for a whole 'nother year! 

    So if members do want to see the Fund's work support our Veterans (and Youth Development) next season, then they probably need to commit the cash for that this season. ;)

     

    I'll do the Rangers tv again for Anniesland next season mate so chalk that up. 

  4. I don't think he can hide behind the excuse he's talking about Germans on this one. Any time I've heard them spoken about in war films the term used is "The h**" the only time I've heard the word "h***" it's always been scumbags talking about us.
