Ally McCoist: I'm already identifying signing targets
stewarty replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I don't think the press will stop asking him these questions but I'd like to see Ally give them a miss. We need to focus on this season. All the chat about next season is all well and good but its too much of a distraction and the more it goes on, the more it is likely to undermine this season's team. -
What a stupid wee man. I hope the lad sues.
-
Frankie - it was probably from you that I read it!
-
I was sure I heard he had picked up an injury.

A good formation point someone made on RangersMedia

Sure, confidence is a big factor. I think also its the mental pressure of knowing there are so few options to freshen up the team. I'll bet Walter is regretting the "quality over quantity" press conference from earlier in the season. -
I think McCoist and McDowell have done enough to warrant a go as Manager and Assistant. There is a risk that we will get "more of the same" but if McCoist's playing career is anything to go by, we should not be doubting his ability to cope with adversity. My own view is that McCoist will look to put his own stamp on the team with whatever limited resources are available. It might take a bit of wheeling and dealing with perhaps the likes of McGregor having to move on to free up some finance, but he would get my backing the same as any other new manager would.

The sitting too deep and negative mindset I think stems purely from the team trying to protect and compensate for Davie Weir. For games against Hamilton its not so bad, but its the big games played at a frenetic pace such as the OF that highlight it the most. ALso, if we play against a team with pacy strikers. -
Explain our second goal in that game then?
-
He scored a hat trick in the game v Well and was a class apart. He was a class apart in the Scottish Cup game v Scumtic. He's generally showed more skill and composure than any striker we've had for several years. How short is your memory?
-
Bartley and Bougherra should be the centre half partnership for the rest of the season. But it wont happen sadly.
-
Major surgery required. With the defence sitting so deep to cover Weir, you need the midfield to be taking control. In the last 3 OF games we have not managed to do that. Unless there is a takeover I dont see anything changing significantly. However, if fit I would play Ness and Hutton for a few games given how poorly Davis and Edu are playing at the moment.
-
I stand corrected, good sir!
-
He hasn't been capped at senior level yet. Hence the speculation.
-
It would be a brave move for him to change at this stage. And if he does, he'll get my backing. We all make mistakes, and if he decides that opting ot play for Ireland at such a young age was in fact a mistake then fair play. I personally think he was badly advised when he was 14/15 which has put him in this position.
-
Ever the optimist! *whistles* I don't think we're out of it yet. However its the league I'm worried about. I reckon the lure and *glamour* of european ties will ensure those fixtures take care of themselves. And assuming we beat Celtic, the lure of a Hampden send-off for Walter will provide sufficient motivation for all concerned. But when it comes to trudging up to Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness for midweek games it will start to take its toll mentally as well as physically. Not to mention the dreaded weekend fixtures post European weeks.

I can put aside club rivalry when it comes to Scotland so long as they perform on the pitch. Trouble is, that wee dick has maybe had a couple of decent performances as a sub and thats about it. �£4.5m player my arse.
-
Yeah, Scotland have been dominant. But even then, he doesnt stand out at the moment as someone with any confidence of the sort that sees players grab a game by the scruff of the neck and dictate things on their terms.
-
Another anonymous performance from Davis though. He could do with a month off.
-
We've had a few call offs ourselves.
-
3-0 Commons
-
Scotlands 2-0 up at half time. Good performance. Adam looking the part.
-
Both worked
-
That makes for difficult reading even though it simply backs up what was patently obvious from watching the game itself.
-
Yep, fitness could potentially be an issue playing in midfield where stamina is more of a key requirement. Also, one of his key attributes is pace. Playing a holding role in midfield would largely negate that. And whilst he shows some nice touches when flying down the wing, I am not sure he has the ability on the ball that would make him effective.

Is Darren Cole Being Groomed To Replace Weir And Boughera?
stewarty replied to johnnyk's topic in Rangers Chat
If this transpires, Cole would not be the first player - and certainly wont be the last - to develop initially in one position, but settle down as a first team player in a different position. Richard Gough anyone?
