craig 5,199 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I understand what Gav is saying and it is right in that fans are annoyed Alexander was dropped having done nothing wrong. That said, our team is so fragile at the moment that the LAST thing we need is to be chopping and changing players who are actually playing well. FFS, almost the whole team is playing poorly and we are suggesting dropping one of only 2 players who are playing consistently well ??? You couldnt make that up. McGregor and Papac are the only two who are playing decently at the moment and, therefore, they should be the only two who are safe from being dropped. And when not playing well to drop the keeper would, IMO, just add more fragility to an already unstable group of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting dropping McGregor, I'm just questionning his place in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBlue72 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 My Team Would be GK A.McGregor CB D.Weir CB M. Bougherra CB S Papac LW S.Naismith CM S Davis CM K Thomson AM J Fleck RW N Novo CF K Boyd CF K Miller i reckon this team would give Hibs a doing , but its too attack minded for Walters liking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id have Beasley in for Naismith and Lafferty for Boyd then go with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maineflyer 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I honestly don't think Weir has the pace to play in a back three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I honestly don't think Weir has the pace to play in a back three. He doesn't have the pace fullstop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,322 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 With Bougherra, Mendes and Thomson all out it really restricts our options and will probably be a case of who is fit and slotting them in wherever. From the bbc site the matchday squad for tomorrow is; Rangers (from): McGregor, Whittaker, Papac, Weir, Smith, Naismith, Davis, McCulloch, Rothen, Novo, Lafferty, Boyd, Miller, Loy, McMillan, Fleck, Beasley, Alexander. Reluctantly I would go with :sw: :sp: :ss: :sn: :lm: :sd: :kl: :kb: I really dont see where we are going to create anything from that centre midfield unless Davis really pulls out a performance which we haven't yet seen this season, as McCulloch only goes backwards and Beasley has been disappointing and Naismith seems to have lost his early season spark. This is why I have went with two big strikers as I think our best chance is to get the ball in to them early. I am fairly happy with the defence, but it could be a long afternoon not for the purists but lets just get the 3 points and start the re-building of the confidence.

Super_Ally 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Tannoch, considering the option that isn't the worst team. However, with the lack of creativity in midfield that you have highlighted I would rather see Novo than Beasley as the Spaniards willingness to take a man on, his non-stop workrate and endeavour to drive us forward may be on of the few ways of producing anything. Edit: Started this thread as a reaction to Tuesday night. Locked it to keep match chat in Fraser's thread. Anyone disagrees and I'll look at unlocking this. Just pm me.
