Strain and pulls can be down to training and poor, or complete lack of game management. Knocks are knocks, they’re part and parcel of the game. As are knee and ankle injuries unfortunately.

BigBearButt 3,921 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I cannot remember where i read/saw it. I think it was an interview with arfield at the start of the pre season where he said a lot more of the training is with the ball compared to the previous regime which focused heavily on fitness work. You would have thought our passing would have been shit hot if thats the case. Gaffbear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had an OK career with some great performances in there but he isnt a world beater like some on here make him out to be. 2 hours ago, BigBearButt said: why for expressing my opinion? Shock horror fans have differing opinions of a player. I couldnt give a shit if my opinion isnt the popular one. This is forum to express opinions not a popularity contest 1 hour ago, BigBearButt said: Look im not really wanting to extend this out. I know my views on Davis arent shared with a lot of supporters on here and thats fine. I pointed out at the start of this season the contracts to him, shagger and arfield spelled trouble in terms of investment and moving forward as a club Im not even going to entertain the NI caps argument as that is a whole different can of worms and dont want to be disrespectful. I will finish by saying I liked Davis in his first stint with the club and rated him, the second stint he started well and has now regressed (age gets us all) its in no way his fault he was offered a new contract however noone can tell me he contributes anywhere near enough to be described as good value player - the fact he is choosing to still turn out for NI when he cant nail down a position in as poor a Rangers midfield ive seen says it all for me.

But yes i can confirm shock horror its a been a few seasons I think he has been well past his best. But hey if you enjoy slow football with a midfielder taking 3-4 touches then passing back the way then Davis is your man. Again just my opinion so unsure why you are getting so upset.

.Williamson. 87,400 Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Also, Davis was part of a very competitive NI squad that actually made the Euros a few years back, so I’d be interested to know how someone was planning on being possibly disrespectful towards his NI career Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad1 28 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Think its definitely time to give McCorie a chance what with McGregor having a howler against Motherwell and McLaughlin being generally hopeless. Haven’t seen enough of young McCann to guage whether or not he is deserving of a start. Hopefully the good lord looks down on us favourably and we have a comfortable win and a clean sheet.

Its going to be a tough call on all fronts. How many players can say they have nailed down a position as their own this season? Colak is the only one that instantly comes to mind. It comes down to how brave is the manager to take risks, will he send out the same lineups and if it fails incur the wrath of the fans if its another shitfest of a performance or does he roll the dice and give some of the youth a chance? Again if we fail to perform he will get criticised. I think goalkeeper whilst an issue isnt the most pressing, its middle to front. Our midfield has been hopeless regardless on who he selects and two of our front three usually dont turn up. I just watched GVBs interview which was strangely upbeat.

That will make no difference at all when the people in charge of using the VAR system are incompetent or corrupt. The only way I’d trust VAR is if the game was viewed from UEFA’s offices and not through the SFA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeeper is definitely a position that needs strengthened come January. Although I feel like Gio will never take a risk and play McCrorie incase it backfires.
