Rousseau 10,673 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Sands' preferred position is actually right in a back-three; that's where he was at his best for NY. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,062 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I look at last nights result as a generous gift from the Dons nothing more the overall team performance was substandard, but I welcome the three points 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is your preferred position? I would say definitely the holding midfield role, that’s where I am most comfortable. At my previous club, I bounced around a little and have played centre-back for the national team as well, but I think I am definitely more comfortable at holding mid. That’s a big reason I came here because they saw me in that position. That’s my No.1 https://www.rangersreview.co.uk/news/19881924.james-sands-rangers-q-full-best-position-claudio-reynas-advice-ronny-deilas-recommendations/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading about when he signed and I recall him playing right in a back three. Maybe that was just the author's judgement on his best position? He definitely suits playing further forward (CDM) or with cover. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,673 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I do like Sands, but I don't quite think he's worth the money. If we could re-negotiate to shave a million or two off the price I'd take him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely suits playing further forward (CDM) or with cover. Right of the back 3 had been his position up until the few months before we signed him. At the time of signing him the talk was that it was as a DM who can also cover at the back, with Davis and Jack ageing. For a relatively small fee I would probably take Sands. I find him quite error prone in defence tbh. The kind of guy who seems to have more bad luck than others.

DMAA 3,658 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Had a look at the stats on Sofascore and FotMob just out of interest. They give player ratings based purely on stats. They had Goldson and Tillman as the best performers. One thing I notice about Tillman’s stats every time is he performs very well in duels. The worst performers were Jack, Sands and McGregor. Devine actually scored low too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say i dont think we need that type of player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
