WadeWilson 4,670 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I can't see past Black being the extreme fucking worst we had last yearMust be the most hated Rangers player ever.That's some going when you think of a certain striker we signed in 1989 who had fans activating their 'This Season Book Will Self-Destruct in... Well, Now Actually' option.Still, with every one of MoJo's goals the hearts of the fans grew fonder. Wee Doddie the kit man even started giving him chocolate bars again after the scored that winner against El Filtho.Black in comparison did fuck all but bet against us.

lidorfc 6,693 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The boy has talent IMO. Unfortunately, in common with every other players on our books, he hasn't produced the goods on any kind of consistent basis over the last 12-18months. However, if MW is willing to wipe the slate clean and back him, so am I.People have been saying that his entire career, talent but not consistent enough.

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thought Law played well and will be given a chance. I think Templeton will be the one to suffer most. Can Holt play wider and accomodate Eustace being central? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie7 24 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah from what i've seen so far from mckay and temps....mckay has done more imo and out of the team that's started it would be temps or law if i had to pick. With eustace and hopefully allan in place of them. Thought miller done well tho on the left albeit he's maybe a 60mins player now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie7 24 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Could be anything along these lines....Thought holt done well in the attacking sense and with link up with tav for goal.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 So... Templeton's the new whipping boy then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider pig 8 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Why would you change a winning team ? I loved how we played last week and temps needs a bit of confidence rather than us sniping at him. If w&w say he is good to start, who are we to disagree ;as he see's them in training everyday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxholm 2,312 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The most refreshing part of what I've seen from MWs line-up so far is his use of two genuine wingers hugging the touchline. It does make us a bit more vulnerable defensively but hopefully a solid holding midfield player (which Eustace is reported to be) will give us that bit of extra cover. Really hope that MW doesn't compromise his two wingers approach and shoehorn a midfield player out wide. Sometimes you have to make hard choices, for me it's between Law and Holt to lose out.

barcodebear 85 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 So... Templeton's the new whipping boy then?Very rarely anything else. McCoist bought him and hadn't a clue how to use him. In a football playing side he could be very useful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 No he's just performed the worst by far and honestly doesn't deserve to start on Sunday.Been brought in from the cold along with McKay. I don't particularly rate McKay but if our management team have seen something from these 2 players that's deserving of a place in the team then I'll trust their judgement.I don't hold the last few seasons performances against any of our players. They've been given a clean slate by MW so that's good enough for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that both our full backs play like wingers. First time in awhile we've had a pairing like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Templeton isn't a wee boy anymore, he hasn't performed since he was signed and has shown no evidence against Burnley or HIVs that he has turned a corner. We moaned last season when under performing players kept getting picked, well somebody else deserves a chance in place of Templeton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 FoderinghamTavernier Kiernan Wilson Wallace Eustace Halliday McKay Holt Law Waghorn We could play this in same games but taking a player out of midfield and having him play in the hole would mean we would get overrun in midfield.When I seen hibs playing A 352 I thought the worst and the first half showed why. We were over run in midfield.But with eustace as a holding midfielder and 2 hardworking cm's flying into tackles it will work. All this talk about a static starting 11 is irrelevant. Warbs is all about having a squad and all players will play a part Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to wait and see which one it is first before I jump on the bandwagon and start slating one of our players because it's the fashionable thing to be doing this month.
