jhunter 0 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thought he looked a decent asset last season, but that injury seems to have really set him back 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon 1,289 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Why is that? What has changed for him since last season when he looked like he was enjoying it? Personally I'd be happy to take some money for him if we could use it to buy a two footed attacker. I don't know what is wrong with him but there is clearly something. He isn't offering anything to the team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 waghorn has done the same with every club hes been at. shows promise at the start and then disappears up his own arse after a short space of time. let him go i say. get hardie back and let us see the promise of dodoo. we have far too many honest pros in our team at the moment. they did a job but its time to move them on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Waghorn was one of our best players last season until he was injured. At the start of this campaign he looked bright enough again before his hamstring pull put him back again and, since then, his touch seems to have completely deserted him and he's struggled badly when called upon. Amazing how many people are happy to write him off after a bad period of form though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't write him off. He has still been getting into scoring positions even when not fully match fit but as said his touch seems to have deserted him and that has nothing to do with being up against SPL opposition. If he were just striking the target instead of firing over or past etc he would probably be scoring. And that in fact seems to be a problem for many of our players. We have numerous chances and huge numbers of them don't even hit the target. Firing high over the bar is probably most popular. I can't remember which match it was but think it may have been the home match against Ross County when we were swarming all over them and as I watched it reached a stage where every time I saw someone preparing to pull the trigger I was expecting it to fly over the bar and it almost always did. That truly frustrates me. Are they incapable of keeping it down? Even deliberately firing into a forest of bodies or legs has a chance of a deflection into goal, out for a corner, or bouncing to someone else to have a go. Fire it over the bar and you're guaranteed nothing. And as for Waghorn even though as I mentioned I haven't been writing him off if he wont sign a contract we have to offload him to get something of a return and free up his wages for the window.

Frankie 8,562 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 What I would say is that when he came on the other day he was dreadful for the first 5-10mins then improved and was involved in some reasonable attacking moves in deeper positions. The problem was, we didn't get the ball to him in the box and that was a reflection of our play throughout the 2nd half on Sunday so not completely the fault of Waggy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Agree with that too, he's not a play maker he needs the play makers to create something for him to get on to and they weren't doing it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to Rangers Supporters the saying "Your only as good as your last 5 minutes" is taken quite literally. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,376 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just seen that Hardie played for Scotland U20's and came close to scoring(hit the bar) so get him back from loan and give him a try. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 We simply haven't sorted our front line (including our left midfielder) and this has been made worse by people not hitting form, including Waghorn (Tavernier, McKay). Perhaps we should indeed try a 4-4-2 every now and then, with O'Halloran on the right and Garner AND Waghorn through the middle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
