Give him another few games he will find a rhythm and prove his worth Agree, hit the woodwork twice yesterday and the manager has a good few months to assess his ability. King would be a good asset if we can pry him away from Hearts. For me MOH is the stand out of the three and with our style of football will rip defenses apart.

Forrester clearly doesn't look like he has had much game time. He played in a team that got relegated to league one and MW knows him as a player from Brentford three years ago (before him being relegated with Doncaster). So I am going to trust the gaffer on this one but we should not be used to help loanees back to full match sharpness, fitness and health so they are a better player for their own club. Unless it's for us to see if he fits the bill and then take him on. Players coming to this club MUST be better than what we have, whether on loan or a perm deal. We are Rangers ffs. He's not on loan, he's a 6 month deal until the end of the season...if we don't sign him up then he'll be a free agent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,716 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I like the fact he's willing to take a shot , particularly when on occasion we do take too many passes to shoot . . I thought he did well yesterday , particularly in the first half. The problem is , is there anyone I'd drop for him , particularly now MOH is here and we're doing well ? I'm not sure there is.

The guys not a 'loanee' though? From what I've seen versus Raith, Killie and now Alloa he definitely looks like he has something. Yesterday in the first half I thought he was terrific, second half he was quiet but that's probably a fitness issue as that was his first start in god knows how long. Giving him a 6 month deal is perfect imo as it gives us the chance to sign a potentially very good player should they find their form and fitness and if not we can release them and move on.

allgers 735 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 luckily enough Mr Warburton has till the end of the season to assess him. We might need to wait to see the best of Forrester, something we aren't too good at doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgers 735 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Forrester turned out for Doncaster in the League Cup, does that make him cup tied in this country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Tough game to judge him on when the whole team were sub par. He just needs a run of games as he doesn't look fully match fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 MW cant work his magic on every player who has hit a rut in their career, some might just not have "it" anymore through a variety of personal reasons/injuries etc, where Forrester lands I don't know but he showed enough to get MW interested, the true quality or lack of quality will emerge well within 6 months so we will know soon enough.

Rab_Rangers 38 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think there's a player there. He's getting better every week, just needs time to get back to full fitness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If he continues to perform like the way he started against Alloa then I can easily see him getting an extended contract, he played well and was unlucky in front of goal, think he was one of the players that hit the woodwork (maybe twice), can definitely be a handful for opposition players.

Err NO, and I'm sure Forrester played in the original game against Kilmarnock, if fact he came on as a sub for Miller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,957 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I actually thought he played really well on Saturday. He looked fitter, nice touches of skill and pace and was unlucky on a couple of occasions. This was all whilst he was playing in the middle. I think he will get even better and I hope he shows it tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Some of the things he did against Alloa were quite impressive; he also looks as if he wants to get involved a lot more. I think we have a player there. If he gets a goal sometime soon it will only boost his confidence. He is playing with his head up now. I think we could have a player for the long term here. He and O'Halloran looked a real threat, and they were joined by Billy King in that when he came on. I think the manager took of the wrong player against Alloa; Harry should have stayed on and McKay should have come off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Looks like he's got something about him. He seems a confident chap as well and the overhead kick was unlucky. Don't get people writing him off already. Saying that, people on here wrote Jelavic off cause he gave the ball away on his debut so nothing surprises me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,366 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Showed a bit of urgency we had been lacking and sent in a couple of cracking crosses. Got pass marks from me for the time he was on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
