simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Without Bougherra or when Bougherra's having a bad game (ie hearts) the defence is shocking. Weir is finished, Whittaker is clearly shite, Broadfoot has gotten too big for his boots and even Papac is starting to drop form a bit. A bit of surgery is seriously needed there, certainly at least one centre half whether it be Tonel or someone else decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxblue 122 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm afraid Whittaker is fast approaching the last chance saloon. He's getting a run in his preferred position but is poor. He's got some talent going forward but is weak defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, I dunno, the lad works extra hard, probably our most consistant performer, and, still gets slated for doing his job and covering for weir and whittaker today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well since he scored for a Scotland i think hes been a bit big headed and not played as well. Before he seemed to have the mentality that he was lucky to be here and playing every game but now we're hearing stuff about him demaing a new contract, whether it be true or not. Having said all that hes not the worst of the problems in defence, i'm just not entirely happy with any of them right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw69uk 123 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 See where you are coming from, but, at the same time, McCulloch and Adam are on more than him, and, that has to be a bit unfair I reckon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Can't deal with high balls and has no pace at the back. Why Weir is still playing at the back is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOLUWDC 1 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Whittaker doesn't block any crosses. Everyone knew Conway was right footed so he should've kept him on his left. but he didn't... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of surgery is seriously needed there, certainly at least one centre half whether it be Tonel or someone else decent. Had my doubts when I saw Bougherra wouldn´t be playing today. If an opposing team would try to run at todays central defense it could easily rip it to shreds. Luckily Dundee Utd played down the wings and hit crosses into the box, that kind of tactic should be easy to defend against, and still they let in two bad goals. A replacement for Weir should be top priority in january IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I wonder if the same people giving Whittaker abuse now (after a sustained 2 game run in his proper position) are the same people who were calling Broadfoot shite after his first 2 games run in the first team.

Muff 245 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Weir is finished and Broadfoot and Whittaker are simply not good enough. McCulloch is never a CB, infact he's never a footballer, Dailly is crap and will be away in the near future and I have been dissapointed with Papac. We need a RB, CB(possibly 2) and a LB!

I have been giving both abuse consistently; Whittaker before he was bought because he was so poor defensively with Hibs that he lost his place at right back and was being touted about for a third of the price we paid.Broadfoot because he has no balance and is unable to make even the simplest of passes. My opinion has never changed; both should be nowhere near a Rangers team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_RFC87 761 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Papac got a new contract, and Broadfoot has been promised one. Whittaker is seemingly immune to being sold in January. Weir is in the old boys' club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
