We need to sort away form - Burke

[Guest PortGlasgow]

Burke has had ample chances to impress and hasn't Naismith had about 4 months of being in and out the team on a repetitive basis. Give Naismith the same amount of chances Burke has had then we'll compare them.

 

 

Not dismissing Naismith at this stage but I haven't seen anything that shows he'll be a key player in the future. As far I can remember Chris Burke picked up a Rangers player of the year award?

 

My thoughts are he's just the latest target for the loud minority that are intent on isolating and abusing a current Rangers player. Daniel Cousin, Kirk Broadfoot, Alan Hutton.. the list is long, the lists goes on..

 

Their are big problems at Rangers, Chris Burke isn't one of them. Theirs key players at Rangers who have too much influence with too little contribution.

Regardless of whether Burke picked up POTY he has had ample opportunities to prove himself and hasnt really done it. IIRC he won POTY when in the final year of his contract and playing for a new one. Coincidence ? Not when you look at his performances since he got that contract. Naismith hardly got going before he got injured yet he is the one who is being questioned ???

Daniel Cousin deserved the boos IMO. Hutton suffered a bad run of form and became the latest boo boy but showed that you can come through it. Broadfoot doesnt deserve it IMO but he too seems to have come through the worst of it. What has Chris Burke done to come through the boos ? Nothing.

He isnt one of the problems ? Of course he is - he shows little interest when in the team (which has been limited of late to be fair) and quickly becomes disinterested. You say there are too many with influence and not enough contribution - just what CONTRIBUTION has Burke provided since he got that nice new contract ??

 

I say this as someone who actually rates Burke - but he doesnt put enough effort and passion into his performances.
