the_r_sole 366 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ffs. How many chances has Waghorn missed? Doesn't make him pish. Just because Clark played for McCoist blinkers too many people on here.He's banged in a fair few this season and can offer a lot more in a wide position, has a good first touch, can link up play well - not really a comparison to be drawn between the two players tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstamomusa 3,809 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah, I have been disappointed by him all round BUT willing to see if he can improve under Warburton. He's just not very quick and as other have said his first touch is pretty bad. Warburton was praising him in an interview on RTV and saying he wouldn't be in the squad if he didn't believe in his ability. In Warburton we trust.

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He's banged in a fair few this season and can offer a lot more in a wide position, has a good first touch, can link up play well - not really a comparison to be drawn between the two players tbh I didn't say he was not a good player, only that he has missed a lot more than he has scored. I think Clark is criticised unfairly due to the McCoist connection, as is Law. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clark is criticised unfairly due to the McCoist connection, as is Law.I would completely disagree - no matter who signed him, clark has shown he isn't good enough to pull on the jersey. Waghorn contributes in a much wider context and in his career has never been a huge goalscorer, Clark was signed on the back of a season where he bagged 40-odd goals in this league and has always looked out of place in the team.This thread is about Clark alone, he misses too many chances and doesn't possess great ability - just because he scored a goal last night doesn't change that fact, and drawing comparisons with others in the squad is pointless imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,482 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'd give him a decent run of starts, 6 absolute minimum. If he isn't cutting it, bin him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,533 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Decent player. Won't be good enough for us long term, but he'll do a turn for a Prem team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds_Bear 8,110 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Good squad player, at most. Doesn't cut the mustard for me - there is an obvious the gulf in class between him and the rest of our forward players. His positioning and finishing are both well below the standard I expect see from a Rangers forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bears fan 259 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He's obviously impressing at training but if you cant take that into matches then you have a problem. His first touch a lot of the time really lets him down. I would love NK to be a success at Rangers, just cant see it so far.He done the one thing that frustrates me, hit a shot when the opportunity came up. I feel we get a lot of chances around the edge of the box to have a pop but players opt for that extra pass or touch and the chance is gone.

Just because Clark played for McCoist blinkers too many people on here.People don't not rate Clark because he played for McCoist.If that was the case then why have McKay, Wallace and Law, who all played for McCoist, got praise from the support for their performances this season?

bluenoz 30,844 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There is a decent player in Clark, he will now have to grab his upcoming opportunities. Nacho Novo, Kenny Miller & Steven Naismith all had brutal first touches but they somehow found a way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,896 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He get's it because he's not a very good footballer.That's why he doesn't tend to start games and is brought on as a last resort.Works hard and gives his all but he's rather mince.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Those praising Clark need to ask yourselves 'would MW have signed him??' Think we all know the answer. Hope he finds a new club soon. When is his contract up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He scored 40 odd goals the season before he signed for us, then McCoist got a hold of him. I can take him or leave him though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,474 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 New contract and player of the year based on that goal. Nah he is piss poor tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Think he's in a similar position to Templeton was at the start of the year.Only gets game time because there's limited options. Once we have a replacement he'll be out the squad and moved on at the soonest opportunity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsox1 1,361 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I would start Clark through the middle before Miller. I would also have waghorn no where near the middle.Waghorn is great on the right but terrible in the middle.Why Warburton starts him there is beyond me as he always has to move him to the right to get the best out of him.We need a faster centre half for when Ball leaves , a defensive midfielder to cover for the two wing backs , a creative centre attacking mid and we need probably two strikers. Miller won`t be good enough for next season and Clark will be a squad player at best. 5 new players needed with Templeton , Bell being two who should go.

allgers 735 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 A lot of you guys are talking about next season, some of us are taking it one game at a time and playing this season, Nicky Clark will either find his feet and make a contribution this season or blow his chance and end up back at Qos, where he will probably help them gain promotion ahead of Hibs.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Not good enough for Warburton's Rangers.He tries his heart out but that's not the benchmark for us, anymore.He will go on and be decent for a St Mirren or a Motherwell.
