Gribz 743 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 You can say that if you like. Meanwhile, looks like Jon Daly's gone: It wouldn't surprise me to see Daly go back to Dundee Utd and do a half decent job there like he did previously. Its just a common theme that so many players come to Rangers and do badly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed although Daly looked barely fit to jog the past year or so let alone play professional football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Taking a second look at Dalys photo, is that Kris Boyd running a mile behind everyone playing catch up and looking out of breath. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gasping! I remember reading two of these daft Q&A interviews that newspapers do from time to time. One was Darren Fletcher of Man. Utd. The other by a Rangers player(cannae mind who). When asked who was the poorest at training they had come across both replied Kris Boyd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't care now if he was scoring. You always get some players that just don't train well. I recall stories of Matt Le Tissier being a poor trainer, but a genius on the pitch. When Alan Ball took over at Southampton, the team barely trained, and it was Le Gods best spell in football. There are certain players that don't train well, but they don't need to to play well. We are only criticising Boyd now because he's not doing it on the pitch--correctly IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tiss was fit and a quick runner. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 08/09 he scored nearly 30 in the SPL, this season he scored 3 goals in the second division. Regardless though he has always been very limited, often failed to score in big games and always required a strike partner, 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless though he has always been very limited, often failed to score in big games and always required a strike partner, The comparison is not as simple as that, but yes, I agree. He was always just a poacher. He scored more with Kilmarnock in the SPL than he has with us in 2nd Division, so it's not all down to him, surely? My point was that he's cumbersome, and was never quick, but that doesn't mean he's not 'fit'. I think he can last 90 minutes? And those players said he was a 'bad' trainer, not unfit. He's just not a good trainer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not a good trainer. There isn't really anyone more critical of our managers and coaching methods than me. That said he still has to take responsibility. Poor management hasn't stopped Vukic getting 9 goals from midfield in much less time. At the start of the season Boyd was missing constant sitters.
