The Blues 375 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Will make a big difference. Ok he is a not the fastest but he is our best centre back. He would have buried some of these chances that Goldson and Edmundson have missed in the past two games. Big man might make a good captain as well...ex serie A and current Swedish international.

The Blues 375 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 He is good in the opponents box and that is an important part of being a Rangers centre back in the spl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 He'll be partnering Goldson, so little to get excited about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blues 375 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 He has played 20 games for Rangers and we only lost two....Young Boys away(Tav errors) and cup final(fluke-offside goal). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 24,694 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 How long till he's match fit, mind how long it took him because he never had a pre season Guy has been injured since the cup final start of december, we throw him straight in we deserve everything we get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why folk on here have such a low opinion of him. Seems to be based on him not being Usain Bolt. From what I’ve seen he is head and shoulders above the other CBs we have. Might well be slower than them but a quick mind and slow feet are preferable to fast feet and a slow footballing brain. Unfortunately we can’t afford a fast footed quick thinking centre half. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that our performances have dipped significantly in his absence, at the very least it would have offered Gerrard the opportunity to drop both centre halves for the next match if mistakes persisted, which they have.

hooooootchy 405 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Helanders pace gets brought up too much, I can't remember his lack of pace causing a goal. His positioning is good and times a tackle well. To say he's no better than goldson must just be a dislike for the guy based on nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably prevent giving away silly goals at the rate we are doing so, so at the very least loses would become draws, perhaps we could also hold onto leads and win when we actually score. Last night for example. No silly mistake and we probably draw, maybe even win as panic wouldn’t have set in our play as quickly as time wore on. Also, he has a much greater presence for our corners, unlike Goldson who generally seems incapable of heading towards the target. All things considered, he has been a massive miss.

We should be putting 4 or 5 goals past Hamilton at Ibrox. If we don’t score, we won’t win games. 30+ chances last night and still nothing. The lack of goals is concerning and it’ll cost us.

Only time his pace worried me was the livi away cup game midweek, him and goldson were awful that night but the amount of times helander had to cover in behind goldson, his lack of pace was evident Didnt coat a goal though, he did do well covering that night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
