rbt1548 1,842 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 He seems to have a confidence about him in the past couple of games, he looks to be more assured, bringing in the experience at the back looks to have helped. If he continues the way he's improving he'll do fine. Ok, as a goalkeeper any mistake, (and he will make one or two), he does make will be highlighted, as at Rangers we are used to having good goalkeepers and can be quite critical of them at times, but he's only 26 and hopefully his best years are ahead of him.

He's an average keeper but in Scotland looks good cos the others are so fucking shite He only needs to be better than the rest of the shite. If we can have a player like that in every position we'll easily beat every team out width Celtic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not his biggest fan but he has definitely looked a bit more at ease with the new defence in front of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many things I have noted about our new team / defence is that our defenders play the ball forward and don't put Wes under unnecessary pressure. Alves always looks for the long pass, and our 2 holding midfielders give Cardoso an easy option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good goalkeeper, I've always said it, but he costs us some stupid goals which if he could cut out he could be one of the best in the UK. 24 when he joined and 26 now, developing really well I think in the next few years you'll see less and less of those mistakes from him, even in the time he's been with us the frequency of these errors is falling.

That save when the boy was offside was genuinely sensational. Best keeper in Scotland easily. It was a couple of really good saves. I like the guy and with the new defence in front of him, he should concede even less. As a negative though, I always wanted him to come out more to deal with cross balls/corners. A good solid keeper though IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly last season was an eye sore so we should see a lot better from him this season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The reassuring thing about him playing yesterday is that it quite probably indicates that he is staying for the season. We can't afford to lose him right now, and with this defence then he can improve as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to reset our standards to a higher level of player and expectation. If your suggesting we go out and sign better players than Celtic I don't think we have the money for it. What money we do have would be better spent on wide creative players rather than a new Keeper. We were 39 points behind Celtic last season and finished 3rd so a title win this season is unlikely. I think a more realistic target for this season is to get 2nd and finish within 10 points of Celtic. That would see us established as the best of the rest, closed the gap on Celtic by around 30pts, and put down a solid foundation for a title push the year after. I would hope for a cup win on top of that but and getting back to Winning ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF1 167 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 One of the only players in our squad over the past couple of years that I've regularly had confidence in. Hope he continues to develop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZed 4,510 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I like Fodders and hopefully we will see a good season from him as he has quaility in front of him now. I think last season he was left in the lurch lots of times last season by the 2 in front of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
