skinnymate1690 627 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 With the Clark and daly signing and it looking like miller could come in as well where does this leave him . IMO he is a striker and should only be played as one , he isn't good enough to play right mid and if anyone deserves a run upfront then it's him but I don't see him getting it . If we go with 1 upfront again next season that position should be his to lose IMO given the goals he got last season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would hope to see Andy as part of a front two or even three although thats a bit attacking for Ally. I would start the pre season with Little and either Clark or Daly up front and also give others like Naismith/Hemmings/Mckay if fit time up front in friendlys to see how they shape up. By the start of the season i would hope everybodys had a little gametime to show what they can do, Little and Clark are my prefered front two right now but who knows Daly might start banging in the goals and move to the head of the striker cue.

16BlueSherbert90 19,226 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Kenny Miller is still being dismissed as a rumour according to Whitecaps. Was on the Canadian News last night....http://metronews.ca/...ck-to-scotland/ http://www.theprovin...0829/story.htmlI agree, Andy does a stand up job up front and certainly shows passion when playing. He definitely isn't right or left wing material. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mols94 3,669 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Andy should without doubt be our first choice striker. We need big Lee in defense (provided we dont bring in a CB). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Where do these new strikers leave Dean Shiels and the 4 year contract he was given? If we do go 4-4-2 next season to accommodate the new strikers then I don't see how Shiels fits in. Last season we played with one up front and someone just off him and that's a role Shiels specialises in.We could have 4 established strikers in Daly, Little, Clark, and McCulloch with 120 goals between them last season in various Divisions. Sheils who can be used just off a fron man if needed. Where Kenny Miller fits in to this I don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Kenny Miller fits in to this I don't know.Shiels feels like the forgotten man of Ibrox these days, i still think he can make a good Rangers career but as you say fitting him into the team (and some others) is difficult with the amount of attacking players we now have. Defence is the most vital area for strengthing now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu43rigger 327 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 maybe we should just pick the best 2 depending on how they are performing in training, if one of them isn't producing the goods he takes a back seat and has to work extra hard to get his place back, should be the same for every position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StornowayBlue 630 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Little will, or at least should, be our main striker next season. He deserves that at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whittaker was shit last season but constantly got game time when fit. Probably because of the ridiculous money he was on. McMillan came in when Whitaker and Broadfoot were was injured, played very well, should have kept the jersey, but Ally dropped him as soon as Whittaker was fit again. It wasn't long after that McMillan left and who can blame him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 If McCoist goes one up front next season he'll get heckled even more. There is no reason why we can't attack assuming he gets the defence sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've backed Ally throughout but now we can bring in players and appear to be going after His targets, there will be no excuses. I would hope as you say, he sorts out the defence primarily and allow the forward thinking players to express themselves freely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgers 735 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Love the way the Kenny story refuses to die. Would have thought the fact he is under contract to Witecaps would kill it.Little has to be the main striker, McCulloch has to take the defensive role, he getting slow as a forward. Think we will get to see Andy combine with a few different striking partners in the first months Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a waste him having out on the right when you have plenty of width in Templeton and McKay (albiet sometimes injured both of them), even Shiels too - again, when fit.
