plymouthranger 3,888 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Incredible shot stopper, but actually embarrassing at how bad he is at coming off his line now. Someone commented that it has shades of Gorams last season and I can see that. He’s cost us 4 points this season from being incapable at commanding the 6 yard box. McLaughlin starts the OF for me, should be his jersey to lose Bad Robot, chris182, jhb1823 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,082 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Yeah McGregor has been a hero and last year was incredible but his time sadly looks up. Can't make 1 howler never mind 2 in a game and it's happened a few times this season. No shame in it, he's 40 now. Needs dropped. plymouthranger, Nk89 and B1872 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lads at non-league level down here who can command their box better than him. Those 2 goals today were inexcusable, 1 you get away with once a season, 2 in 1 game is fucking amateur.

I don’t think McLaughlin has ever let us down? He’s not as good at shot stopping as McGregor (very few are), but asides from that he’s a better kicker, commands his box better and has yet to have a howler.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,190 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 He’s a legend but everyone has their day, he’s nearly 40 and done his bit. He had a bad day but if he plays on Wednesday who’s to say he won’t play a blinder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,969 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 If we were playing anyone other than celtic on Wednesday, I would drop him. But I'm putting my money on shagger to rebound against them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t put it past him to have another incredible game against them. Crazy thing is though going forward the rest of the season he needs replaced. These games where he doesn’t have much to do has made him a liability - his concentration is gone and the 40 year old body is just not wanting to command a box and get hurt. Defensive shambles today but he’s cost us two goals. Any other keeper in the league is dealing comfortably with the first and third plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,534 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The goalie situation is another bit of mismanagement that went under the radar because we were winning. Should have had a capable replacement there in the summer. We don't have anyone good enough below him. plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,818 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 He's a great keeper when focused, but he's interested in too much nonsense these days. All his time wasting antics, moaning at team mates, moaning at refs, playing to the gallery is too much of a distraction. A costly one. On his game, he's a first pick. This season though he's making that more and more difficult a decision. plymouthranger, El-Hadji Spit RFC, ayrshireranger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 An absolute legend but I'm afraid father time has finally caught up with him and he isn't the keeper he once was. Would I play him this week? Probably , as he has such a fantastic record in OF games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m not questioning his shot stopping. He probably will make a save on Wednesday that is outrageous. The problem is he throws goals in against sides we should be getting guaranteed points against, because he can’t command his box.

esquire8 43,013 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Probably his worst performance ever in a Rangers shirt. Doubtful he could do any worse. Chances of him doing the same against the unwashed? Slim Play him, watch them laugh at him starting then watch him break their hearts all over again.

beararse 6,386 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 McGregor had a shocker and on balance will deserve to lose his place should GVB drop him but lets face it, we should have scored 6 or 7 today with the chances we had. The whole team is complicit in the defeat. Defenders couldn't defend...Tav didn't shut down the cross that McGregor fumbled. Goldson made and arse of heading a ball then Bassey had a fresh air swipe for the second. The third one, pretty much everybody made a cunt of it. Midfield failed to throttle the game in the last 5 mins. Lundsturm (why bring him on?) thinks he's fucking Beckenbauer and tries a Hollywood cross field pass 3 mins into injury time, then Kamara does what Kamara does sometimes, switches off and doesn't hit the pass hard enough and offers up possession near our box. Up front, Itten couldn't score in a bucket of fannies, Roofe hits the post and as a team they all tend to overplay when near the box. Special mention for Kent who was piss poor again. Aribo was excellent but cant do it all on his own, and Diallo showed us all glimpses as to why he's got a big price tag for an 18 year old. Bottom line is they all thought they'd completed the job in hand having came back form 2-1 down and it's bit them in the arse. Let's see what they are made of on Wednesday now that the stakes are high. bluenoz, ayro and Kaydubya11 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what they are made of on Wednesday now that the stakes are high. Pretty much spot on, my only add would be GvB mistake on starting line up with Itten rather than Roofe or Sakala and thought he should have either closed out on 3-2 or went for the throat with substitutes, we did neither and it hit us on the arse. Over to him and the players to make up for it on Wednesday. beararse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superallysbears 7,665 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm not saying he's done, but he deserves to be dropped for that effort today, I think he will play and hopefully we see the best of him given its against the scum but anybody thinking him in goals on Wednesday is not cause for concern after today's performance is not seeing the full picture here, time waits for nobody.
