polar bear 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 If Naismith is 100% ready,then I say: Walter,give the man a prolonged run(I agree with his former manager) wide left. He's more experienced than Fleck and Aaron(their day will come) If he can play like he did with Killie,then we have an excellent addition to our squad, and if he can't recover his form,at least we know exactly where we stand with his future at the club. My team selections are usually pretty close to Walter's (TIN HAT ON).So here's what I think Walter has in mind to start the season:(with what we have now) Alexander Whittaker Bougherra Weir Papac Davis Mendes Thomson Naismith ( and any two from three) Miller/Boyd/Lafferty Probably still good enough to win the SPL. Hopefully Nacho can accept being the "Super Sub" Which he no doubt is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_RFC 41 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I had real hopes for Naismith, i must admit though, if he doesn't start to show something this year, he should be sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 That team needs new faces! Steven Naismith is raring to go, and has supposidly been working extra hard during the break. I'd rather see him upfront, than on the right or left, but he's capable of playing there, so is another option. Big season for him IMO. If he fails to show any sign of improvement, and form, then he should be moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostragerus 1 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i know the lads had problems with injurys but i,ve been disappointed him so far for the money we paid for him hopefully he can stay clear of injurys and this season he can rattle in the goals to justify the transfer fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsa 3,906 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 never be good enough imo, his technique is actually pretty average for an attacking player and he just doesn't have it physically - very weak and quite slow from what i've seen. in saying that he might be a different player with a run of games and fair play to him if he does prove me wrong as he seems like a decent young lad with a good attitude.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I rate him but he's not really had a chance, so I think it's harsh to say he's "disappointed" so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby 41 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 naismith is a potential diamond, hopefully he gets the luck he needs next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostragerus 1 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I rate him but he's not really had a chance, so I think it's harsh to say he's "disappointed" so far. a striker at rangers who has scored 5 goals even allowing for his injuries to me i would want a better return than that when he was at killie he scored more regularly so i would expect him to score more at rangers with more chances being created lets hope next season he becomes more prolific Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a bit of pace aswell so hopefully we see more of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My team selections are usually pretty close to Walter's (TIN HAT ON) Aye right! You'd have Boyd not playing every week and Walter plays him most weeks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertN 397 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 not a wide player always looking to come inside with very poor technique last season give him a chance at centre forward if not sell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A BIG disappointment last year, but had a lot of potential when signed. yes give him a chance if he looks good in training - maybe as a sub initially - but also lets see if Aaron or Beasley can do a job there too.

Hopefully Nacho can accept being the "Super Sub" Which he no doubt is. Think your team selection is almost correct, but I think Naismith will be the super sub, along with Nacho to be honest, that wide left berth will be fought for between Niguez and Fleck I would suspect. Personally I'd rather see us with a more cavalier 3-5-2 formation, especially in the SPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
