JR 1,480 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Following on from Danny's "Who deserves a 'Chance?' thread: http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=44108 Ive seen a few members call for Broadfoot to be given a shout. Now this has me a little puzzled as, in my view, our defence has been something of a success story this season. Papac has been a surprisingly efficient performer at LB, Alan Hutton has been something of a revelation at RB and Davie Weir & Carlos "The Tackle" Cuellar have been solid and commanding. Which begs the question for those supporters...who do we drop for Broadfoot? My own personal opinion on the guy is that he was merely bought as cover for Weir & Cuellar - because he is in no way shape or form a Left Back, pre-season performances coupled with some dodgy St.Mirren shows have convinced me of that. That being the case - I dont know how anyone can call for him to get a shot...as I barring injury, I can never see him getting the nod over our CB's. Does anyone have a differring viewpont?

Bazza 21 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I think he was originally a cheap option cover for all defensive areas but more so for RB. When we then signed Whitaker, and he proved to everyone that he is a RB first and foremost, i think that signalled the premature end for Broadfoot. I wouldn't change him for anyone in the current team and as you say JR, barring serious injury problems, he won't get near the top team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc72 0 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hes been called up to the Scotland B squad for the game against the Rep of Ireland Bs, just another player like Gow who was signed from another SPL team and people just dont want to give him a chance. He hasnt been given the chance yet due to Papac performing well at left back but if anything was to happen to Papac then i think Broadfoot would be more than capable to step in and do a good job for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you willing to give him a chance? and if you wouldnt play Broadfoot at left back then who would you play? young lad Kinniburgh i would love to see given his chance but we know what Walters like with youth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I feel (and so does RFC by all accounts) that we need to strengthen that area. Kinniburgh has been doing well but whether he is up to the rigours of the SPL that remains to be seen. Luckily Papac has been performing...otherwise I would be dreading the teamsheet on a Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 His versatility means he will be decent back-up. Nothing more, nothing less. To say he deserves a chance over our successful back-line this season is strange, to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Not for me at all. Rather see the likes of McMillian, Perry, Kinniburgh get a game before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 To me he has been brought in as cover, and for me he is adequate enough to fill that role, in time with the training that Rangers can give him he may go on to become a regular, none of us will know how he is doing in training etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I can understand people wanting Buffel to be given a run out. Even Gow could offer us something different. But to want Broadfoot to be thrown in the middle of what looks to be a settled defense is rather strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but I think most who are wanting him in is to be at left-back than in the centre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
