GOAT 30,449 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Love the guy, and this is going to sound mad considering he's the top scorer in Scottish football at the monent but I'm getting concerned at the chances he's missing. He should have had five yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The tap in he missed at the back post was criminal! It was easier to score.That said,having watched his interview after the game he was raging at himself for missing it and knows what he has to do to make sure he doesn't make the same mistake again.He is a top player and would be first on my team sheet every week.

D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Moment in the 2nd half Goat where he brilliantly lost his defenders in the box but then delayed his shot by thinking about it allowing the defenders to block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_ger 1,454 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 His quote after the game were good. Basically Said he wasn't happy with missing that sitter, it was poor concentration. Shows he's not sitting back and wants to get better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,960 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I wouldn't hold the one that got cleared off the line against him. I was certain he was getting his hat trick but the defender seemed to appear from nowhere.Waghorn is one of those players who scores the hard finishes (his first goal yesterday) but misses the easier ones (the open goal miss at the back post). Sadly I don't think this is something he will be able to work on in training. The ability is there but seems more of a mental thing to me. It is what it is.

kanjo 26,489 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think he's better cutting in from the right being totally honest. WE need a goalscorer we know can take the chances he's missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have had five yesterday.I know someone is going to take this the wrong way, but I remember McCoist's finishing was like that his first couple of seasons at Rangers. Probably worse actually. He took pelters pretty much every week for the number of chances he missed.During his third season something clicked and the efforts going the wrong side of the posts started going in.Waghorn is a better all-round contributor (McCoist alternated between headless chicken and immobile lump), probably never as natural a finisher, but I reckon we'll see the best of him next season if he keeps starting games.

tina-duncan 212 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He is missing an awful lot of good chances, which is a concern. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt though as I don't think he's ever really had regular first team football until now. Hopefully he will have it sorted before our assault of the Premiership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobham 1,569 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I agree about playing him on the right and giving Hardie a run up front even as a 60 minute sub. For all of Oduwa's skill I find his final ball lets him down where as Waghorn seems more direct coming from the right plus his finishing won't be good enough for us in the SPFL next season to play CF.

Ibroxholm 2,312 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 All strikers miss chances, important thing is they don't let it affect them and are up there for the next opportunity.Don't really mind too much Waghorn missing chances like he did yesterday, when it didn't really matter. However, he's got to start sticking the important ones away, like the one in the last minute last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 56,337 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He's scoring loads of goals but he needs to be more clinical.When we make the step up in quality we probably won't create chances as easily as we do now so he's going to need to start putting one in every couple away rather than one in every three or four.

WATBB 1,524 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The guy's just started being a regular starter in a team, he's now getting consistent game time under his belt something he's had no where else.

El Buffalo 120 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Waghorn has been a great signing. He brings alot more than just goals to the team. Although he did miss a sitter his other 2 goals were fantastic finishes. He will only get better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing is that he's getting into the right positions at the appropriate time and contributing to our creation of chances, whiles scoring his fair share. Every player makes mistakes. Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Zidane and Pele also missed chances and occasionally tripped over the ball or made a bad pass.Compared with Boyd and a younger McCoist, he contributes a hell of a lot, in terms of ball retention and distribution. Given the stop/start nature of his career thus far, he's developing very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
