Allan McGregor

[Columbo 588]

Another McGregor mistake at the weekend. That means he's made mistakes in far too many games this season and we have a crucial away game this Saturday which we have to win to keep the title race going. IMO it's time we bought in Neil Alexander as he's been solid and dependable since arriving. McGregor has been poor this season and we can't risk playing him this Saturday.

Thoughts?

Tempted to choose option 3

No I don't think he should be dropped his clangers are no where near the same level as Boruc's

[maccactfc 2]

he might have made one mistake saturday but he still makes some important saves.

harsh on neil as he was dropped without doing much wrong but McGregor is still a quality keeper and hopefully a good result on saturday coupled with borucs clangers will help boost his confidence going into the festive period.

Shagger for me could be worse we could have boruc aka rab douglas

[StunnedGuy 0]

Yes, it is.

[Linfield 0]

Yes

[Tumshie 205]

Think the keeprs position has been badly handled all season. Didn't see the point in taking Alexander out the team when he was playing so well

[bengizmo 0]

McGregor after all he's the better of the two

[delparlane 5,692]

McCulloch. Most definitely.

mcgregor not at level of last year but im sure given time we will get there

[Chef 436]

shocking poll, alexander in myt eyes aint good enough for the rangers goalie, certainly not first choice,, greegs all the way, best keeper in scotland,, also should be burleys no 1 choice

Can't see why he should be dropped for losing that goal on Saturday. Unlike Borat, he at least had a player in front of him and got his hands on the ball.

I was thinking about this last night and thought, if we dropped a player every time they made a mistake, we'd be down to the U19's about now.

The guy needs games to build his confidence. Over recent weeks he's looked sharper than he did at the start of the season....I really can't see how dropping him would help him out. Also, you'd be throwing in a Keeper that's not match sharp!

He's been our weak link this season. I personally don't want him anywhere near the side.

[strar8 55]

I picked Alexander only because McGregor doesn't look confident at all. Would rather have him in goal for the tims game tho. Hopefully he'll have good games against utd and hibs and get his confidence back before the next OF game (when hopefully chesney will keep confidence in boruc so he can have a few more howlers for us to laugh at)

His gaff at the weekend is indefensible, lets not try and dress it up by bringing Boruc into it.

It's December now and he's still making an error nearly every second week. He's been a total liability this season.

As i touched on before, this has been getting said for nearly 4 months now.

I've said this in previous threads, but this "he's still finding his feet" excuse is utterly absurd in my eyes. Young Ben Foster was thrown into Man Utd's game with Derby last year after being out injured for 10 months. He made two wonder saves from Kenny Miller and picked up the man of the match award. That is just one example.

Alexander should never have been dropped in the first place. McGregor has been a liability this season.

What he said.

[StayWestFree 107]

It was time to drop him about 5 weeks ago. Get him to fuck. Alexander never made 1 mistake and was solid. Guy should never have been dropped for Shagger.

[RangersKenny 0]

True...Walter genuinely couldnt justify dropping Alexander - he made minimal mistakes, had good raport (sp?) with the defence, CAN ACTUALLY KICK A BALL WITHOUT IT GOING OUT TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE and is good at cross balls.

for me i reckon its time to rest shagger, he's obviously shagged out and its affecting his concentration and effectively costing us goals.

lol at the mcculloch option guys!! :D wouldnae fuckin surprise me mind you!!

[BeerHunter 0]

Cully for me. I can see him going from strength to strength in this position. I would also go as far as saying Lee has always been a goalie masquerading as an outfield player!

[maccactfc 2]

What happens though if alexander is brought in and has a few nitemares??

will you just keep swapping the keepers who will have confidence at all?

Yes Alexander hardly made a mistake when he came in, but McGregor was the same until this season. All it takes is one bad game for Alexander and we will have a squad with no keepers that have confidence.

[sandyboyblue 226]

I think McCulloch has all the qualities required of a modern day goalie, what the hell he is on the payroll afterall. Might have been an idea to test him against the Accies at the weekend though.

I would play Alexander though, McShagger has lost the plot, the last thing we want is the defence losing confidence, or we will be facing a Boruc situation shortly.

[JRFC 0]

He should be dropped. Alexander is a good keeper would do well I think.

[Amac9 2,060]

Neil Alexander.

Who voted for option 3? <_<

[kirkiebear 1,013]

He has made far too many mistakes for my liking this season which has cost us vital points, it would be Alexander for me against united.
