It seems that with some people on here the best way for a player to be appreciated is not to play. The promise then outweighs the performance,

 

We’ve seen it recently with Kent and Goldson. A couple of weeks ago some were crying out for them to be dropped as their performance was lacking. Then they get injured and we’re told we really miss them.

 

Overall the team is not playing well as a team. In that situation replacing an individual is unlikely to have a significant impact. When the team is playing well and a player is off their game, that is the time to replace them and try someone else.

 

I don’t know how to get the team to play better. The Manger may be right that the problem is being unable to get a settled team. Maybe the tactics need changing. I have no option but to trust that things will improve. I don’t see any alternative to that.

Yorkie Bear,

 

Of course, you are correct. 

 

However, I like hearing everyone's gripes and schimfs. Back in the day, I was amazed at how good a player Jim Denny was becoming. There was a distinct correlation between Jim's lack of game time and how mercurial he was becoming. Jim's demise arrived in Cologne, we were 2-1 up from the first leg and Jock Wallace announced a secret plan to tether Pierre Littbarski. I drove from west Berlin and was amazed at the 8,000 traveling support. My smile disappeared when Jim was announced in the team, he was the secret. Jim was tasked with man marking Pierre. We lost 5-1, Littbarski notched a hat-trick and made the other two.

 

I admire Ryan Jack as a player, each game this season I hope he is announced fit. I am sure my admiration is probably bubbling over in assessment? I believe he is the side's metronome, it is the tempo he injects and yet most fellow supporters view him as a languid player. At this moment, Ryan Jack is my panacea, his inclusion will improve our fortunes and all Rangers supporters' mental health.

Comparing Ryan Jack to Jim Denny? The latter was a poor man's Alex O'Hara surely.?

isn’t the cologne game you are referring  to in 1982 ?

if so John Greig was manager. And Jim Denny long gone by then. And was it 5-0 ?

We've faced Cologne four times: 1967, 1979, 1982 and 1988.

 

They did beat us 5-0 in 1982.  John Greig was manager at the time and Jim Denny wasn't involved (Jim Bett was though).
