Davy 68 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 ...and a striker who could capitalise on what we create. This part I disagree with. I don't think any of our strikers, perhaps maybe Velicka, have the attributes to play up front on their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Velicka is too slow and lazy to play up on his own. He's about as much use as Boyd up there on his own. If we went with a lone striker then it would be Miller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we went with a lone striker then it would be Miller. I don't like the idea of Velicka up top on his own either, but he is a better footballer than Boyd. Miller wouldn't score enough goals to win us the league if we went with him as the lone striker. We don't have that one striker capable of playing the lone role the way Cousin could.

AdzKyle 8,062 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Surely after the last few games WS can no longer keep playing Lafferty/Adam on the wings? Its a waste of 2 positions. 2 positions that have the potential to be extremely important during the game as they should be taking on defenders and playing decent crosses in. When was the last time you seen a LW/RW whipping in a good cross? I have a feeling Aaron might get a run out this weekend, from the bench though. All i know is we cant persist with Lafferty as a winger as he simply isnt one and i would rather Adam wasnt even in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Smith is a stubborn old man. If he thinks Adam and Lafferty on the left and right can do a job no matter how shite they have been, he'll continue to go with them. Anyway Steven Davis is back so he'll be back on the right of midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdzKyle 8,062 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm with you on that Won't happen tho, Mr Undroppable will continue in there. The only way i see that happening is if Coisty likes the pair and tries it out in a cup game, assuming he has control of the team again this season. However, with Barry being the boss man, i cant see him being dropped. Hopefully he will be in need of a rest......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreckedroy 33 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'm with you on that Won't happen tho, Mr Undroppable will continue in there. I'd love to see Davis in his natural position too, but it's not going to happen any time soon. As for "Mr Undroppable", there is 1 very good reason why he will be the 1st name on the teamsheet from now until the end of the season, and that's the fact that, yet again, he'll be our most influential player over the season as a whole. The sooner he hits top form, the sooner we hit top form as a team. It's been that way for a few seasons now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner he hits top form, the sooner we hit top form as a team. It's been that way for a few seasons now. So far this season our top form has been with him nowhere near the team. Against Hearts he was one of our worst players, and as such should be dropped. No one man is bigger than the team, and I don't think Rangers as a whole should have to suffer while we have to wait for Ferguson to get fully fit and back into top form. He should be in the reserves until he shows enough to be back in the firs team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he is well short of fitness and would have been better ensuring he was up to match fitness standard by playing in the reserves. However, against Hearts I can think of 6 players who were far worse performers than Ferguson that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikke 0 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This would be my line-up ____________________McGregor___________________ Broadfoot_____Bougherra_____Weir__________Papac Davis________Ferguson______Mendes________Beasley _______________Boyd________Novo________________ Lafferty is an option at Centre Forward and Aaron on the left wing. I sure would like to see Aaron get a chance against Hamilton. Rangers should beat them regardless of who´s in the team, but a fairly settled team is also important. Too much chopping and changing just for the sake of it is seldom a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
