David Templeton is completely void of confidence

[AlBear. 8,499]

Caught a bundle there GOAT.

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798]

Being dropped is the last thing that a player feeling like him needs.

well continuing to play him isn't doing him any good either and the truth is he doesn't deserve to be picked constantly when he isn't performing the likes of McKay, Aird, Stoney, Walsh, Telfer etc... are crying out fort the chance to impress but they just aren't getting the chance while the likes of Templeton, Clark, Little etc... who are performing poorly continue to be picked just due to their experience.

I don't agree with the comments on here calling him shite and not Rangers class I believe he is a talented player and he will come good again eventually but at this moment in time he is rank and doesn't deserve to start.

He's needing dropped Mackay was more influential than him.

[Rangers#1 5,459]

Aye, Temps definitely struggling for confidence the day, Wallace was talking to him all through the game, tried hard though and won a good few headers at Airdrie kick-outs fans giving him a good ovation when he was subbed and Wallace shaking his hand, seemed to lift his head.

:clap:

A complete shadow of the player every football fan in Scotland knows he is.

Don't know about that. Did people only ever watch him against Whittaker? The rest of the time he was very average. It's no good being able to beat a couple of players if more often than not the pass afterwards goes to the opposition.

When he signed people were saying they'd have taken him in the SPL, and the best young talent in Scottish football (even though he's hardly young), they people watch a different player from me.

If as is suggested and he has suffered a significant loss in his personal life then i would suggest this isnt the way to help him, imo was lewis is back he will be back on the bench soon enough, felt sorry for him today but the crowd frustration was palpable, that cant be good for the lad. hope he comes back from this stronger, but on form he should be dropped

Confidence issue really? he was pish last game and pish today. For fuck sake stop making excuses for our top earners. Next season performances could stop us getting back to the top.

[jamess 3,422]

He has been rubbish, but I can understand giving him a run of games to see what he can really do. No point in bringing players on for 5 or 10 minutes at the end of games if you want to evaluate them. He is being given his chance, but so far fluffing it.

[Westwood Bear 61]

Jamess- your 100% right. All that's expected of him is to beat a man and get a decent cross in to the box. At this point we ask for nothing more. In fact, there couldn't be any less pressure on him.

[SirAlistairofMcCoist 91]

He will come good again. As for Wallace, an exceptional professional, true leader and great player. Love the guy to bits. His celebration when he scored against the unwashed

Am naw gay

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

I still think he'll eventually come good, he's one of the few members of our squad who can produce a piece of magic off the cuff. He's clearly lacking confidence at the moment.

[4everGers 82]

He did not have the best of games today but he will come good again good on Ally leaving him on & giving him the time to come good

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

His confidence is lacking right now. He seems to pep up from time to time but if the pass doesn't work or he's tackled he fades a bit then tries again. I think he is a good enough player to come through all of this and I'm sure more game time - and time itself - will help. Lee Wallace clearly understands what he his going through as he encouraged him all the way through the game and as others have pointed out he made a point of going over to shake his hand when he was substituted. The Support's acknowledgement of him as he went off and his acknowledgement back to the Support was fine. I'm hoping this is a bit like Ian Black last year because (and taking nothing for granted) we will need all the experience and the best players we can get next season in the push to get back to the top league.

[MDYT 47]

agree but what pleased me was the crowd noticing it and to a man applauding him when he went off.

Not from where I sit they didn't. The boy has been fucking awful. I've seen better players given less a chance.

Was going to post this... "Need to get the confidence back, but most important thing is the win"

[neilstonloyal 186]

Nothing on his twitter saying anything about his dad

I wouldnt post it for the world to see either, to be honest.

[CalvinC 1,414]

He hasn't looked himself for a long time, still time to get it back though.

[RockwellGers 14,710]

Total faith in Templeton, he's going through a bad patch but I very much expect him to start turning in good performances soon enough!

[GOAT 30,449]

Taking the piss? Have you been paying attention to his Rangers career? He can't even beat a fucken man. But I tell you something, when you're played out of position, you have to be a good player to make the most of it.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,540]

Needs games as well, being in and out like he's doing the fucking hokey cokey means he cannot find a level of consistency thats required for a player in his position

See when I want the opinion of an arsehole, I'll ask for it.

You've never seen Templeton have a good game and cause problems for the opposition's defence? He's not done it for ages but to say he can't do it is just plain wrong
