ritchieshearercaldow 22,162 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Others will have to step up, Waggy was a bit off form and I'm sure the boss thought this might happen at some point anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we can win without him, but he is arguably our best player. In your opinion. I would say Holt is our best player, in my opinion. Next!

We've played without him before. Waghorn doesn't carry the team, he does convert goals yes but he isn't the only one who can score. There's Haliday, Holt, King, McKay, O'Halloran, Miller and Clark who are the main threats too. He's a vital piece yes, but he's not the only player. All the players have a part that make them our best player. 1 player doesn't make a team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 12,941 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 FFs step away from the panic button, we should have more than enough options to cope with the next run of games, away to Queen of Sth and three games at Ibrox, in a perfect world we'll see Waggy back before Falkirk and have him rested and raring to go.

Gman36 3,456 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 A big blow, but to be fair he's looked like he's been dead on his feet the last few weeks so it's not a big surprise. For the rest of the season we're just going to have to try and grind out victories. Agree this will probably dent any potential go at the Scottish cup... Thinking about it we could probably be doing without the distraction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB72 1,530 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Huge blow to the team but this is where the "lean" squad comes into action nearly every player on the park can play multiple positions its just about shuffling it about Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I actually can't believe people are trying to suggest this isn't a huge loss to the team...:lol: Absolutely baffling opinions on here as he has no doubt been one of, if not the best player this season.

Ah okay, so every player is vital? I would "argue" some are more vital than others. We've played without him before and still had the same tempo. Even at on Tuesday, we still had a majority of possession. Since it's a team game it's hard to pin down vital players. All of them are vital in their own way. If you're talking about their actual skill in comparison to other players than yeah, it's different. Waghorn is better skill-wise than Clark. But when Clark is on in place of Waghorn, then Clark is just as vital as what Waghorn would be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm not to worried. The January signings have ensured we'll be fine in his absence. Got the faith the replacements will step up and do well - maybe even cement a start for the rest of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,275 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Of course his overall play will be a loss to the team, he in an integral part of our team, holds up the play well, terrifies defenders with his power and touch. However perhaps whoever replaces him will have a better chances to goal ratio! Perhaps they will spend more time in the box! Hopefully it won't all be negative. It's bigger loss for the cups than for the league IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 He's a Diddy and won't be missed, he's absolutely our best player.  Neither statement is actually true merely opinions.  Simple fact, the lad is injured and we have to deal with the matter. MW has always said he likes players who can play multiple positions along the frontline.  Well we have MOH, King, Clark, McKay, Forrester, Miller and possibly Hardie if needed.  I am confident, opinion, that any three from six should be sufficient to see off any team in Scotland'S send division.  So will Waghorn be missed, Yes, but shit happens, move on.
