Don’t see any chance of Goldson playing mate

Haven’t heard it, but Beale supposedly hinted at Goldson and Davies both likely to start. If that’s the case, you’d imagine…

McGregor

Tav Goldson Davies Devine

Jack Lundstram Kamara

Kent Tillman

Morelos 

Unless he goes fuck it, and puts Sakala or Matondo in there instead of one of the midfield 3.

I don't think Goldson travels unless he is starting. No reason to have him and Davies sitting on a bench in winter.

Both need minutes to build match-fitness.

Point still stands that I don't think he travels unless he is starting. Dont care too much if Davies doesn't get minutes in him.

What would the temprature need to reach fot them to be eligible for a place on the bench?

The point is utterly ridiculous tbh. 'Don't put players on the bench because it is a wee bit chilly'.

You don't care if Davies doesn't get minutes but you'll bitch and whine that Davies isn't fit to play.

Genuinely baffling. I like a moan at the best of times but fuck me, it just comes across as actively wanting things to moan about

[Loyal72 13,780]

RR think Goldson plays tonight as well, personally think it's too soon.

Can't bear the thought of him freezing on our bench, however will he cope?!

Better hope the defence have a stinker. A quiet night for McGregor in this weather could prove fatal at his age.

You and your pal fully understand the point being made but you’d rather have a go than debate it.

Its not really about the weather (around 4 degrees forecast) as you well know.

We’ve missed Goldson a lot and we’ve obviously worked hard to get him back as soon as possible.

So the idea of a recuperating player on a coach for nearly three hours each way to sit on the bench is not exactly going to help, is it, even if it’s fucking tropical?

If the manager plans to give him minutes, then that makes sense.

Otherwise, we’re doing him (and ourselves) no favours, especially with a similar journey to Dingwall in a few days time.

As for Davies, I’m assuming that he might get some time against either Aberdeen or Ross County but not both, that’s too much for a delicate little flower like him.

Yeah the winter part was a bit daft.

Don't want Davies fit tbh. Rather King played beside Goldson until Souttar is back and sell Davies in January.

Debating it like so?

Or did you miss that post in your usual rush to say black when I say white?

Why wouldnt you want him fit? Genuinely can't get my head around why you'd want a Rangers player not to be fit?

If he wasn't to get fit, how do you propose we manage to sell him in January?

You clearly dont because that is nothing like what he said.

Don't have to be fit to sell him. Christ we buy enough players who aren't fit at the time. 

Rather we gave a big experience boost to King than waste minutes of Davies.
