Kris Boyd take note

[KazzyTI 267]

Can I just make one point? Note the ages of the two players. JCD has a lot more experience, especially at a European level. He's played in the French league, English league and Europe. Boyd was brought up at a backwater club and (consistant with all this talk of cake) cherry picked to spearhead our attack which, at the time, was needing goals.

JCD has had a whole world of experience in several different playing environments, Boyd knows only one. Give him time, you don't become a complete player overnight.

How many leagues has Wayne Rooney played in?

JCD and Boyd are 2 different strikers so the comparisons are way off!

Don't believe it! someone who has the same opinion as me.

How good was JCD up on his own tonight?

PapaGuy51... spot on mate. This guy is so.... strong. Perfect for the game we played. Now, here's the question... Did Walter buy him for games like this? And Boydy only plays in the SPL games? In other words, WS has it all sorted?

In defence of Boydy for once, will he be happy playing in the backwater game and sitting out the flagship games? I'm not sure!

How many leagues has Wayne Rooney played in?

Now surely you can see Wayne Rooney is an entirely different kettle of fish? 1) his skill is incredible, 2) he's surrounded by world class players and 3) he's coached by, imo, the world's finest coach. Boyd os nowhere near as skillful or naturally talented, he is not surrounded by the Giggs' and Scholes' of this world and he sure as hell isn't coached by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Rooney is the exception, not the rule.

It's an easy comparison to make though. There are LOADS of players in Boydy's position who are just better players through having a much better attitude than Kris displays. His lack of interest is what really gets to me at times.

I agree but Walter will sort that imo. He's gonna learn and quick that if he doesn't shape up, he'll be shipped out.

But the fact remains he won't instantaneously go from out-and-out goal poacher to a lone striker. We bought him for his instinctual goal scoring, now we need to try and curb that instinct. It won't happen overnight but it will happen and when it does, I believe we will see Scotland's greatest forward in a long time.

I hope you are correct, I really do.

I think if we sign Naismith, he will take the mantle as the next big attacker to come out of Scotland though.

why does darchville having a gd game have to be turned around on boyd

Because as Rangers fans who pay the players wages, we have a right to criticise players who aren't doing it.

My problem is that Boyd has had Prso and now JCD to learn from on how to play as a good lone striker, but doesn't seem to have taken anything on board. Comes across as either a total lack of ability and/or attitude to me.

ok then ..since weer turning jcds gd performance as away to criticise others

Cousins take note because he done nothing when he came on.

Agreed, he was poor when he came on.

He needs to perform better as a sub, even Boydy's done no bad as a sub!

well whys yer thread just about boyd ?

i get the feeling if gers were in a champ league final- boyd scores hatrick in final (3-3 just say.. )- and boyd missed the last penalty in a shoot-out u would cream yerself and rush on to RM to post

BOYD : USELESS

[Thermopylae 15,287]

Boydy does have to improve his all round play if he wants to play for a big club but what we mustn’t do is take the goals out of his game. As a Bear I'm sure he really appreciates working with Ally, and I'm sure for that reason alone he will get there

[dundonald bear 1]

Boyds overall game has shown not one ounce of improvement since the day and hour he signed for Rangers Yes he scores goals and Yes hes a bear but even the the greatest Boyd supporters have to be honest and admit that they have saw players in the park on a Sunday morning with more Footballing ability than Boyd. When he doesnt score he is little more than a passenger and Rangers are basically playing with 10 men Boyd has to contibute more his eg holding the ball up etc but I fear that he hasnt the basic footballing ability to learn do so.

JCD was excellent to-nite eh! Papa?would have been a man short with Boyd out there.

Brother, we tell them this allllll the feckin time

Starting to sound like fish, only you have a differnet agenda.

Same shite different person :pipehorse:

[dummiesoot 16,115]

if it was not for Boyd's goals last season, we'd not be in the CL this year.

And if it wasn't for McGregors saves, we wouldn't be in the group stage.

All if's and but's, how do you know another player wouldn't have scored Boyd's goals?

Because funnily enough there are not too many strikers out there that average almost a goal for every start.

You have issues, I suggest you find another scapegoat.
