Tumshie RFC 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 What a difference it makes. When we broke yesterday we did so with pace which Motherwell couldn't deal with. Compare that when we have the McCulloch - Edu partnership in midfield and it is like night and day. Was also good to see Ortiz playing in his natural position and all three youngsters did well. Would have no qualms with playing the same team against Maribor. If Ally changes the team for Thurs and the worst happens he has only himself to blame. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We've signed 2 new midfielders, if they're available I'd be very surprised to see Naisy remain in CM ahead of both. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,157 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 While I agree with the general point, Naismith is suspended for Thursday so Edu will probably be recalled to play alongside Davis. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We've signed 2 new midfielders, if they're available I'd be very surprised to see Naisy remain in CM ahead of both. Neither Bedoya or McKay can play against Maribor. Bocanegra is the only new player who was registered for the 2 play-off games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 A thread about pace and no mention of Wylde's fantastic goal? I hope he gets a game on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kasper Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ortiz looked far more comfortable on the right, and even through the middle for Lafferty's goal. It'll be interesting to see how Rangers approach the Maribor defence at Ibrox on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a slighly less sarcastic version of what I tried to say in another thread. The McCulloch Edu combo midfield must never be repeated in any game in my opinion. Only one of them should ever play for Rangers at any time. Ortiz must play on the right or not at all. Davis should always, always be in the middle because he's clearly our best player. How all that pans out with the two midfield new boys thrown into the equation remains to be seen of course. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That's what Naisy in midfield gives you only ever wants to get the ball forward and brings the best out of Davis. When the new boys get here my midfield would be. Bedoya/Davis/Naismith/McKay Although saying that thought Ortiz had a great game on Sunday a slow start but really came on to a game and made some great passes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbroxybear 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 McCulloch and Edu should never play together again in the same team, i hope Ally now see's that. For me McCulloch is done rumours his knee keeps flaring up and taking injections before games the sad thing is he is on 3yrs left of draining a wage from us. Naismith is better playing in Midfield, Davis is better back in the Middle, Ortiz played in his natural position, Wylde on the left, much more balanced Midfield that will give us more urgency and creativity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract extension that he signed last year takes him up till the end of the 2012/13 season, so he's only here for this season and next season at the most. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
