Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Looks fairly innocuous which can often be worse. Luckily in the League we have MOH and King, we'll just need to get on with it. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,271 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Get fit soon Waggy for we need you. Lets hope its minor. However the nature of the game means someone else gets an opportunity. Time to step up to the plate Nicky Clark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're harder than grass ones. Hopefully it's just a niggle, Waghorn gets a few weeks rest and comes raring back fitter, stronger than ever to roar us to the treble...........

Likely will be, in saying that it'll force him to a rest which may ease the pressure off his back. especially if O'halloran scores consistently He's done us a great service since he signed with us and it ain't right people have a go at him just cause he's no scored. Christ irc boyd was worse last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,748 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Not going to be popular but id look at giving clark a run of games. Swap with Miller at 60 mins if he hasnt scored. Clark offers much more of a goal threat than Miller and with good service will score a good few imo. To make it clear i dont think clark is a world beater but he is our best option atm imo if waghorn is going to be out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark may be the best natural finisher we have at the club. he just needs to be a little more consistent but it's difficult without regular game time.

It's been Clark's problem since he signed. He was prolific with QoS, but dried up playing for us, a better team that gave him much more opportunities than he would have got with QoS. It reminds me a bit like Kenny miller's first stint with us. Scored 5 against the buddies and everyone expected him to do that every week.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Waghorn piced up a knock about three games previous, wonder if he has been playing with an injury. It was a fairly innocuous tackle. Can see Clark getting a few starts now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If Clark gets a run and starts banging them in, should Waghorn automatically displace him when he is fit again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant afford to have Waghorn our for too long. In your opinion, but thanks for the answer. I did say IF he starts banging them in. As Waghorn has not been doing that lately, I think Clark should then start with Waghorn coming on at 60 minutes to give him a chance to win back his place. I also think this should apply to any player out injured. No-one should be guaranteed a start the way Jig was last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,875 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hopefully Clarks goal last night might give him some confidence, as he should be buzzing after that. When you think of his record before he came to us it must just be a confidence problem........... I hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn has scored the most goals from our team and in the league, he’s also been one of the most consistent member of the first team squad this season. Clark scored a crucial and brilliant goal last night but that is really a one off from what we have seen from Clark since he joined, I think most level headed people would play Waghorn coming back from injury in front of Nicky Clark who despite giving his all is a very limited footballer. Just because he scored a cracked and won us the game doesn’t mean we should be dismissing how vital and important our top goal scorer is to our side. Hopefully Clark does bang them in while he’s out and if he does it gives the manager a headache but I’d not get my hopes up for that as he’s pretty poor in general. Holt was out but came back in and no one was complaining so I don't see why it would be an issue if it happened with Waghorn too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackm 0 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Clark has had more than a fair crack at trying to nail down a place in the team and so far hasn't really delivered. He's scored some important goals but has never shown enough for me. Can't fault his attitude and commitment to the team but as much as I'd like to be proved wrong I just don't think he's good enough for Rangers - especially in the SPL. Waghorn being injured is a big blow (if he's out for a while) and when he's fit he starts as far as I'm concerned given what he's done this season. Saying that should be ok with the likes of Miller, McKay, O'Halloran, King, Forrester hopefully stepping up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanoli 4,628 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Was right in front of me, definitely came down pretty hard at an awkward angle. On that surface it was always going to be a sore one. He'll defo miss the weekend I would guess, here's hoping not much more than that. Thankfully with the depth we've added in January we'll cope with this better than we might have in November/December. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
