skinnymate1690 665 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 was he even on the bench tonight ? , surprised that he didnt start seeing as walter has been praising his form in the last few games ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think he was on the bench- but it was a strange decision to start Lafferty over Fleck, the only reason perhaps being Lafferty's price tag... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlafferty 1 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think he was on the bench- but it was a strange decision to start Lafferty over Fleck, the only reason perhaps being Lafferty's price tag...I'd have played Fleck and Lafferty again, Miller was nowhere near match fit.

Muff 245 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Was on the bench. Should start on Saturday! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juno 2 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If you play him every game his head will get bigger and bigger. Such is the problem of John Fleck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby83 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Smith bought Lafferty therefore Lafferty plays. Depite contributing nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancedeangers1 287 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think in games like this Lafferty is a decent guy to have when defending set pieces. That would seem to me to be Walters thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have took Lafferty off and put Fleck on but still we won the match so no complaints Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidorfc 6,685 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Smith bought Lafferty therefore Lafferty plays. Depite contributing nothing. He contributed an assist. atleast give him a little credit when it's due, it was a very good pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumshie 205 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 One of our best players on saturday gets dropped while one of the worst players on the park strugglin for confidence starts. I just don't undertsand it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,446 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 would have started with Fleck and Lafferty and gave Miller another game off i dont think we'll ever start with Fleck and Miller upfront Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblue 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 And so the Lafferty bashing begins. Is this not a thread about John Fleck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmico1986 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Smith made the correct decision in playing Lafferty IMO. The boys short on confidence as it is and would be even lower if he was dropped,Smith was playing him along Miller in the hope he would get a confidence boost by scoring.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Have to say I felt sorry for John Fleck last night, he was harshly treated to be benched after his performance against Hearts and it must have been severely frustrating for him to stay on the bench when Miller and Lafferty both come off last night.

I'd have played Fleck and Lafferty again, Miller was nowhere near match fit. miller was never fit to play, think he only got injured again, complete waste of time risking him when fleck could have done a decent job.

Clarkyyy 450 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 once again Flecky plays well then is dropped right out of the picture .. is it any wonder his confidence gets knocked .. give him a run of games & he will blossom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
super hans 55 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 One pass, WOW! give him a pay rise, he needs it. No wonder the boy is short on confidence. Even when he does the right our fans slate him. Fucking hell. He put through a decent pass for Davis, other than that........... I'm not going to praise him for doing something right, that's his job. I don't get praise when I do well at work, and i earn a lot less than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
super hans 55 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 You're not going to praise Lafferty for doing anything right? Will you extend that to include all our team. Should i expect you to not post when the team is playing well? Its their job afterall.I'll praise him if he does something good, it was a good pass but it doesn't mean he's turned a corner or anything. To me he's still a lanky arrogant fud who is living the dream on money we can only dream of, more concerned about his next porshe test drive than how well he does for Rangers. I'm not going to praise him for one pass when his occasional glimpses of potential have been far outweighed by the dross performances he's put in.When you consider we could have got both Leigh Griffiths and Graham Dorrans for £200k it puts into context just how big a waste of money this guy was, money we can ill-afford to spend, particularly in our precarious financial position.

super hans 55 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Surely its only fair to praise the good and criticise the bad? You can't go on about him being rubbish but ignore when he does get it right. Thats totally unfair and borderline unconditional dislike.There's not been much to praise, that's the problem.And I know he can't control his transfer fee but it still makes me cringe that we paid so much for him. Judging by his performances i'd say £500k would be over the odds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Felt sorry for him. Three good games in his proper position and he gets dropped. Should start on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
