docspiderman 1,266 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I would start Boyd in all games because he is the only proven goalscorer we have who is fit at the moment. Lafferty is better coming on against tired defences because although he does not have the awareness, quick reactions, natural instinct or touch of a goalscoring striker he has the pace and the attitude to punish teams late in games.

Muff 245 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 As much as we all like to moan, You know Boyd and Ferguson will start. Most likely Boyd will score after his dull performances, maybe a brace then all will be forgotten, apart from the oneswho dislike him. If Boyd plays well and does the buisness, whether he scores or not then he'll get the praise he deserves, like always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMitch 4 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd go with: -------------------McGregor------------------- Whittaker----Bougherra----Weir-----Papac Davis-----Ferguson------Mendes-----Aaron -------------Boyd--------Miller-------------- Bring Fleck and Lafferty on at some point. I feel Aaron deserves a start in this game. Gers 3-0 Boyd x2 Lafferty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Not a chance I'd start Boyd, purely because Lafferty and Miller have both shown more over the past few games, and dropping them would be foolish. We should be able to beat Killie at Ibrox without too much difficulty whether or not Boyd's in the team, and I think we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got miller ahead of lafferty because hopefully his confidence is on the up after his 2 goals against forfar. Would also like to see Aaron get a wee run out with 20 mins to go, fingers crossed!

I'm not Miller's biggest fan by any means, but they're both head and shoulders above Boyd at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee united was ages ago, would hardly of said he was decent against Celtic although I put that down to the way we were playing and thought it was another clumsy performance from him last night minus his knock down for Miller's goal EDIT- Apologises about the Dundee United game bit I was thinking about the 2.2 game at Tannadice.

Boab 73 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Beasley is ruled out of Saturday's SPL clash with Kilmarnock but there is only soft tissue damage and it is hoped he will be fit for the following weekend's match at Hamilton. Kirk Broadfoot is also liable to miss the Killie game with a foot injury but, like Beasley, will be fit for Hamilton. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...1562448,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 There is no way Ferguson will be dropped but I wouldn't be suprised if Wally went with Lafferty and Miller upfront, the two players that deserve to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,744 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 There is no way Ferguson will be dropped but I wouldn't be suprised if Wally went with Lafferty and Miller upfront, the two players that deserve to start. They do deserve a start on current form and application, however, if I'm not wrong Boyd was just going through a difficult time when we played Killie at Ibrox last time, we went 1-0 down and he was there to score the two goals that won us the game that day. Following that match was the beginning of his hot streak, if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I wouldn't risk leaving out Boyd for this game. However, I take the point that his attitude over the past couple of weeks hasn't been what it should be. Though I would argue that, until recently it has been. Killie are likely to sit deep and play 4-5-1 like earlier on in the season, so I expect the game to go like last time and I feel we need our best finisher on the park.

Nikke 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Boyd shouldn't be in the squad! If he can't get up for a Scottish Cup match then he does not deserve to play in the SPL, a match where we can go top. I have had it with him for good. I picked him tonight in my team as I reckon he'd be right up for it - how I was wrong. Needs to get his arse in gear, too many times he has shown no interest for the game. Needs to be dropped. I would definitely play Boyd in this game. He has an excellent scoring record against his old club. But he certainly seems to be the type of player that needs a kick up the arse very now and then.
