Ace 3,556 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 He was my MOTM today by a country mile. His work rate in both attack AND defence is outstandingly good. The amount of chances he's created, including the ones that haven' been converted are best in the league. Also, never mind his personal contribution, let's not forget what he's done for Tavernier. Without a doubt, Tav wouldn't be the player he currently is without Candeias input & all around work. For me, the best buy the club has made this season & my choice for POTY.

The Specky Forum Organiser 65,412 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 He's excellent but that's ridiculous, Morelos is our best signing since Jelavic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Rfc 557 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 What a game he had today. He was still sprinting around in injury time the guy is an absolute machine. Jamie murphy seems to graft like fuck as well. You can see that helps Declan John in the same way as candeias/tav Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewaj3 1,446 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Candeias is great, but Morelos is the signing of the season. Not just for us but in the whole league, comfortably too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverAndEver 71,813 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Morelos is signing of the season, not even close imo. POTY is Morelos or Tav then Candeias will be third/fourth/fifth imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's ridiculous, reason I put a question mark. However, I think that his contribution to the team & how his game has also improved others outweighs what Morelos (and by God, he's good too) does.

TMB 14,167 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 He's been one of the best players in the league. Immense going forward and puts in a hell of a defensive shift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was outstanding today, no doubt, I also agree his work rate and effort have brought Tav in too so it’s hard to argue against your point of best signing. Just wish Dorrans hadn’t been targeted by the cloggers and injured without question by refs and jack targeted to be wrongly sent of then allowed again to be kicked off the park without reproach, then the recent signings of Murphy and Docherty all in all we’ve recruited well this year, and as much as were in it this year we are smashing it next.

superallysbears 7,736 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think the midfield would be poorer with Jack and Dorrans in it, even if they were fit to start the next game, there's no danger they would be keeping Murphy or Goss or even Doc out the team.

superallysbears 7,736 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Dorrans could do the windass position further forward, I'd like to see that down the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Herrera for me. Keeps the bench warm for the boys coming off so they can get their arse warmed up. Our very on Mrs Doyle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 6,946 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He’s my POTY. His effort and passion oozes out of him and drives others on too. Even when not at his best, he won’t hide. His technique, touch and delivery are all so strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wully 47,823 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Nope, should've put Windass through earlier in the second half. Almost Harry Forrester esq. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want to sell mate but we really should be negotiating now to extend the loan deal until the end of next season as well. By no means the finished article but surely will only improve?

TMB 14,167 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 This is worth a read if anyone is interested: https://thebackpassrule.com/2018/02/15/daniel-candeias-has-quietly-put-together-a-great-season/ "Looking at Candeias’ pass map from open play this season above, it is no surprise to see most of his contributions have come from that right wing. From that wing, Candeias has found James Tavernier for 10 key passes, Alfredo Morelos 9 key passes, and Josh Windass for 9 key passes. Most would agree those three are Rangers most dangerous attacking threats, so the Portuguese winger finding them so often has certainly helped lead to his success this year. Furthermore, looking at where the average location for those players were when Candieas set them up for a shot, we see all of three of them located in the “Danger Zone”. This is the area in the 18 yard box in between the 6 yard box and these shots have been found to be the most likely to be scored. When Daniel Candieas is setting up the likes of Morelos and Windass, he is finding them in the most dangerous locations on the pitch where they can score goals." Candeias is a key player for us. The quality of his attack to one side you see today how dogged he is defensively. Should be one of the first names on the team sheet each week.
