It’ll be the final nail in the coffin for SG soon if he keeps playing Defoe up front on his own. He can’t play that role. He should have realised that after the SC game at Killie Reminds me of Murty who played JasonCummings up front on his own. That didn’t work either 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big ask to think youths could make an impact,IMO we should have recalled some of the players out on loan e.g. Docherty(getting good reviews),Holt although no progress reports are being given in Rangers loan review articles and for forward cover Hardie,Rudden to name some. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis is worse than a man short. His legs have gone so hopefully we won’t have to rely on him? Arfield is the man that really makes us tick. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really must stop signing players in their mid-thirties other than keepers maybe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, for these players would play in the same system against people whose prime objective it is to keep us (or the Yahoos) from playing. They would run into those same brick-walls ... and likewise unprotected by the referees. We lost those points - IMHO - when we time and again stopped playing our game and tried to play the high-balls or long-balls to but one striker who lacked support from midfield. Three defenders plus a capable DM would have seen us able to load the midfield and front and play the game in their half as well as having players to aim at. What we do is having one target striker who does most of the hard work alone, plus two wingers who at times wriggle their way through. Usually against 5 to 7 defenders. With the only real support coming from Arfield. Go 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 against Killie in midweek and see how that goes. ANd before people ask, what use are Tavernier and Barisic when there is either no end-product or no-one to aim at? If you asked me right now, I'd go ... McGregor / Foderingham Goldson - Worrall / Katic - Halliday Kamara Candeias - Davis - Kent - Middleton Defoe / Lafferty - Morelos ... with Candeias also charged to keep an eye on Jones, while Halliday has the freedom to join Kamara in the DM department. Davis to supply the front line, Morelos in a free-roving role next to e.g. Lafferty as the target man. Perhaps Arfield instead of Kent (who goes left), but Davis and Arfield often run into the same areas. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
