Inlight of his recent perfomance

[TheNuts 552]

i honestly can not believe this,

[ogbg 20]

Did lafferty do anything different other than score the other night?

Yes.

He probably did more good the other night than he ever has done in a Rangers shirt.

It doesn't make up for his previous performances, but his previous performances shouldn't make us dismiss it either. He, Davis, and Edu were the best players on the pitch by a fair distance.

[brissybear 50]

One good half of football and he's now a world beater.

Upfront I would have Boyd everyday of the week.

Even at tannadice on current form?

[mapleridgebear 0]

There is no way Kyle should be dropped for the next game. I think we'll see Boyd in fo Naismith though which will mean Kyle starting on the left.

[FlippinEck 3,748]

Lafferty had scored a few against Dundee too though, I think it's inevitable lafferty will start on the wing up there. As long as he plays like he did against Aberdeen and not like he did at tannadice a couple weeks ago then I won't be complaining. I think we could expect naisy to drop out.

[gordo7 147]

As someone has already said, both should play, and Naismith should be dropped. However, Boyd has to buck his ideas up, he's been really poor recently. And if he isn't fit, put him on the bench, or leave him out till he is.

[martyboy2009 11]

Lafferty won some headers the other night?? Lol! Fs he jumped under the ball and headed it into row z from 2 yards out, people were screaming for Boyd to come on and then he scores the goal n he's brilliant and should start instead of Boyd? I like how Boyd was being tipped for poty and now should be out the team because our worst player of the season played 1 half decent half of football. Shocking.

[Skol 401]

i honestly can not believe this,

Never did i think I would see this thread!

I think lafferty should be our new captain in light of his cross for Papac

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

lafferty, just to see that robot celebration again.

class.

but then, they could just bring him on at half time to do that for 15 minutes and play Boyd for the full 90.

[docspiderman 1,262]

Two runs and one goal and suddenly Lafferty is the answer. He was hopeless for most of the minutes he was on the park on Wednesday just like he has been terrible all season. Not a striker plays better wide but is still very poor as wide player.

[martyboy2009 11]

Docspiderman -

[ArturBorucRangersLegend 1]

Lafferty still has a lot to prove that he can cut it here, so Boyd

[cooper1989 0]

At least Kyle is putting in a shift. When Boyd's in this kind of form.. he's useless.

[Canadaready 9,437]

I wouldn't want to start Lafferty. He has been horrible all season. One game changes nothing.

[jcb 1,167]

Lafferty for me,Convinced he will play a major role in the future.

[disgruntled_bear 157]

I voted Lafferty and this is why... We need players that are willing to fight for their future at the club.

Not somebody like Boyd who has one eye already on a move away, and scared he might pick up a injury.

[rfc1nosurrender 55]

I'd keep the same team as I thought the movement up front against Aberdeen was good and I don't think Boyd looks interested at the moment.

So, Lafferty

[Bear_Necessities 41]

this is insane, lafferty should not be first choice striker after one half decent game. i'd stick boyd upfront. lafferty does however deserve to stay in team so play him left mid.

[MikeBlue 136]

There's no way any of us know whether to start Boyd without seeing how he has reacted in training to being dropped. If as many suspect he's made his mind up that he's leaving and isn't bothering his arse then there's no way he should play. If it is about him being not fully fit and after a rest he looks up for it then he should start in place of Naismith with Lafferty wide

[docspiderman 1,262]

I'd keep the same team as I thought the movement up front against Aberdeen was good and I don't think Boyd looks interested at the moment.

So, Lafferty

We had six attempts on goal the whole game, I don't know about you but I expect a lot more from a Rangers team.

[McBoyd 355]

Boyd has a great record versus Dundee United, he'd get the nod for me.

[RoscoRfc 1]

just hope walter gets his tactics right at tannidice this time

[Jimfanciesthedude 25,013]

people need to look outside of both players ability in this argument, and have a look at how the team performs with either in the starting 11

with boyd, our team takes the easy route of lumping high balls, and with most SPL defences being comprised of extremely large caber tossers, that plan just plain sucks

the other night against aberdeen, the only time the ball was lumped forward was into space for our strikers to use their pace

yes boyd is better than lafferty, but the team is better without boyd at the moment

and the team comes first

We play just as many long balls to lafferty (given his height, you would expect him to win a fair share) when he is in the team than we do when boyd is in the team... Can you not remember games like against Hibs at Ibrox when we just lumped the ball up to lafferty? when he is on the wing it is even worse... at least if we lump it up to the strikers, the opposing team have to travel further with the ball if they get it than they do if we lump it to Kyle on the wing

We even lump the ball up to novo... our team playing long balls is nothing to do with the personnel but our often lack of creativity, brought about by means not down to our chosen strike force

[Mark. 69]

Neither.

Novo and Naismith
