Popular Post onevision 1,569 Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 For the life of me a can't understand why our management gave them so much respect by playing so defensively, they should have been more worried about us rather than the opposite. Lundstram was a waste playing deep on the right. Tav is not effective playing in a wide midfield role, he needs to be making those long runs losing his marker, felt he was marked out the game for the most part. Jack had probably his worse match for us, lack of match sharpness possibly but that's down to the management if so. Tillman was playing well but fell out of things as he was not getting the midfield support needed. Colak, should have done a whole lot better with the superb ball from Tillman and should have expected more from the great ball he put across in the 2nd half, that apart, for what ever reason, he ain't getting much service which needs to be remedied quickly. It was obvious that we needed to be asking more questions of them therefore Lawrence and Wright should have been brought on after 55/60mins. Anyhoo, i'm still too pissed off to write any more. AAAAHHHHHHHH FFS RANGERS. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new goalie is not going to make an ounce of difference to how we are actually playing. We still need an upgrade. McGregor is on the decline and McLaughlin is a career lower league keeper and backup for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When John McLaughlin kept all those clean sheets at the beginning of our 55 season he was widely praised as an excellent Rangers keeper. Since then he's hardly started a handful of games. Why are we writing him off like this? It's unseemly. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are countless more pressing things to sort before we even start to think of changing the goalie. McLaughlin (or whoever) is relying on what's in front of him to offer protection. Last night was a mess on top of another mess. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it looks like the least of the issues needing addressed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a few issues despite our summers transfer work. But IMO we do need an upgrade at keeper. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 We've had quite a few top class goalkeepers from Chris Woods onwards. I think that maybe impacts our expectations but having said that, I'm not convinced McLaughlin is good enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It's possible we can do better there. It's also very possible he is good enough or even better than that. We are fairly deep into improving areas of the team and at a certain point keeper will roll round. I just think it's next after CM. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
