TexasGers 96 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Look at the other options, McCulloch is not a defender and there is no way in hell Danny Wilson should make his Rangers debut against Sevilla in the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidrennie75 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 2 or 3 seasons i reckon. cuellar bailed him out 2 years back and last season maybe kaunas was a blessing for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed to get a CH in during the summer and they missed it i think that will cost us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 No squad depth at defence, no real quality going forward. Being in the CL is just for money really, we were never going to be able to compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Brown Brogue Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We chose to go into the champions league with a 40 year old as captain and first choice centre half up against 20 million pound strikers. Numerous threads from pre-season onwards showed how worried the fans were with Weirs position in the side, but what do we know eh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerous threads from pre-season onwards showed how worried the fans were with Weirs position in the side, but what do we know eh... He has been caught out big time on a few occasions this season already. There are a few CH that are free agents we need to bring in someone that can come in and do the business for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby83 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yup, but we have no alternative. Wilson won't get a chance under Smith. That brings us back to who? McCulloch. Weir is fine at SPL level however, which is on par with league one at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyS 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It would be unfair to blame Weir for being old, and he's done more than most to disguise quite how shite we really are. But as has been said above, everybody can see a lack of cover for him ever since he joined the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,288 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It really is a long shot to hope to be competitive in the Champions League without spending any money ... the 39yo centre half is just one aspect of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 33,183 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 David Weir didn't put a foot wrong in the first half. Easy to start faulting him when we were chasing the game at 2 - 0. As for whittaker, he should never have to be in the position to out jump Fabiano in the air. He has no chance of winning that battle. Papac was no better yet everyone slates whittaker.

And is anybody at the club thinking about next season? If we don't hang on to Bougherra, we'll have a brand new central defence to find. Surely talented youngsters like Wilson have to be given confidence and a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniemca 479 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 its also the fact that the team is set up to protect davie in these matches. we defend so deep so his lack of pace is not found out that the distance the midfielders have to cover between defending and supporting the lone striker is nackering them . no other team inthe cl will defend almost on their 18 yard line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 4,208 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Seriously? This strike pair have ripped better central defensive partnerships to pieces. They were always going to do that if they managed to get the first goal, as we would have to chase the game. As for the Webster comment, Webster was sent out on loan to get fit and match sharpness, he didn't start the season with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
