Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I want Allan at the club too but we dont need him, we can wait a season. We do need a solid striker now though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess 3,453 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We have had problems with crosses for a while, and it continued tonight. A lot of really good work mostly spoiled by a poor cross to nobody. But it is still early days with this team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It's not that we need another striker, it's plain to see teams know how we are going to play and they have bodies in the box making it hard to get space for him.I'm not disputing the fact we do though I'm just saying teams know how to play against us, we're just too good for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtblue 36 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It's apparent why MW wanted Eustance in the squad. We need a holding midfielder. As for Clark I think he is just not good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Army 4,146 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Aye cos tiredness, fatigue and injuries won't occur eh..... We might score 16 goals in 3 games when opponents suffer from fatigue and injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Army 4,146 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Would people rather we only scored 9 goals in 3 games and our loan central striker scored 3 hat tricks, would that make things better?or is 12 goals in 3 better spread about the team not good enough ?The system we play means that our midfield and fullbacks will get forward and into the box. Waghorn is snatching at chances at the moment and he is trying to burst the ball, a bit of composure could make all the difference.He has the strength, he has the touch, he has the workrate, better players that him have went through goal droughts and missed chances.FFS, He has only scored 2 in 3 games.We need to grasp, understand and buy into the system we play.don't judge him too early.don't pluck negatives from all the positivity surrounding the club.

crazy bob swollenbaws 1,916 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It is blindingly obvious that Magic is expecting us to play 'without' a striker and have people move into the striking position.thisI do not want a new kris boyd. football is not a production line. have faith in warburton.

BearJohn 62 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 No mate am talking about them!!! Make no mistake once we go up they will be at it!! The death threats etc esp. Think we will need a few at the club as I can see pure venom being thrown at our playing staff next year. True but i wouldnt care what the obsessed threw at me.

the_r_sole 366 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We need better all round finishing - Clark doesn't look like he's ever known how to score, I think waghorn was excellent tonight but we could use another option. Actually thought we missed having miller coming on tonight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,871 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Waghorn was fucking superb out on the wing and was unlucky not to score. Best game ive been at Ibrox since we went down, still buzzing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 don't judge him too early.don't pluck negatives from all the positivity surrounding the club. says the one thats already judged him good enough to sustain the season.We are Rangers FFS, winning is not enough. Winning convincingly and laying all to waste is - and always should be - Warburtons and the fans view.Again - im not slagging waghorn, but there's no point being productive on the wings and not turning it into goals. We need 2 up top when he plays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,779 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Agree with the OP. Still want to see SA at Ibrox , but the reality is that we are creating loads of chances without him , but no one there to take them. A prolific scorer should be our priority.

We need 2 up top when he plays.Where did I judge anyone ?I know exactly who we are. We have absolutely destroyed, overpowered, dominated and humiliated our last 3 opponents.What more do you want?6-23-03-12 of those game against what many people consider to be our main rivals.I love the way Warburton demands and expects more, if you continually set targets they you will always be striving to achieve them.Improvement should be continual.Of course we want to score every chance that we create, off course we want a clean sheet every game.I have no idea if you have played football or coached football at any level but most seasons it takes players a few games to get their eye in, sharpness, timing and composure,,,,,,,,,, especially strikers We don't need 2 up top, The goals scored and games won suggest differently.Germany won the World Cup without playing 2 up top through the middle. I can't think of any successful team worldwide who play with 2 out and out strikers.Most of us are now watching the type of football we have been demanding since 2012 and I love it, it's fantastic to watch.

Escobar 13,676 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Waghorn is better on the wing, we need an out and out striker.Scott Allan wouldn't be my top priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsons Army 4,146 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Good night lads.Great to be discussing football again and good to hear other opinions.Its even better to see our expectations rise again to the level expected of our club.Our expectations dropped so low in recent years and we were asked to accept mediocrity and a system of play that barely resembled football.After 3 competitive games into a new management regime with a team of players where only two of them were 1st picks last year................ We still want more that 12 goals in 3 games..Brilliant ! we are back and we now expect and demand the standards expected of a Rangers team.

We might get away with it in this league , but come cup games against higher quality teams , or even next season in the spfl , it could prove costly. Yes , I feel we're missing a prolific goalscorer in the mould of Boyd or McCoist in their prime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD.1872 890 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Said it after his first game and hate to compare but Waghorn = Naismith. Purely footballing terms ofcourse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,624 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 We do need a striker, but Waghorn has been great does a power of work all over the park.Still we could have had the game finished first half if we had a goalscorer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocksy 29 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Nicky Clark was never and never will be a Rangers quality striker.Waghorn has the presence and mentality of Sebo, something about the way he moves and his runs stinks of Filip. Lets hope he doesn't end up an Ibrox tongue in cheek legend. Jury is out for me regardless of work-rate as his brain is about 3 seconds ahead of his feet.
