RossMcC1874 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Praise the lord a young defender who might actually have a bit of pace and a right back. Happy to trust Dougie's judgement on this one I presume he will be straight into the team tomorrow, wouldn't mind another one or two but more in hope than expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunning1874 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I was hoping we might add someone who can play centre back if French and O'Connor are both out a while, as Blues or McGrattan at right back is less of a problem than Broadfoot at centre back, but another natural right back and defensive cover is still no bad thing. You'd expect Harkness in for French will be the only change tomorrow then.

You'd expect Harkness in for French will be the only change tomorrow then. Another centre half is something that would definitely help right now, but is Broadfoot in defence a bigger problem than Power in midfield right now? I'm still hoping that will change sooner rather than later, but Power is personally costing us goals and isn't helping the performances of those around him either. And would Imrie even drop either of them? I'm hoping for our midfield 3 from last season to be reinstated tomorrow, and I wouldn't want Bearne to have to come in for McGrattan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally he's not the best at bringing others into play and joining things up. He works hard but isn't the quickest at pressing either. With the team we have and the way we're set up, we either need to do more to make up for Muirhead's weaknesses or find a solution at centre forward which helps bring other attacking players into the game more. Hopefully Oakley will be back sooner rather than later.

TRVMP Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Looks like he played all six of Rangers' Youth CL games last season, playing the full ninety in five of them, all at right-back in a 4-3-3: https://www.uefa.com/uefayouthleague/match/2035785/ https://www.uefa.com/uefayouthleague/match/2035802/ https://www.uefa.com/uefayouthleague/match/2035817/ https://www.uefa.com/uefayouthleague/match/2035834/ https://www.uefa.com/uefayouthleague/match/2035849/ https://www.uefa.com/uefayouthleague/match/2035866/ Did a quick search on P&B for him and the other mentions were Falkirk fans who seem to have believed since mid-July that he was signing for them. That's a wee shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree with Muirhead not being good it bringing others into play. I think he's good at that but as a team there's not really been much around him to allow it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Good interview from the young lad let's see what he can do.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) French hopefully fit tomorrow and O'Connor 4-6 weeks with similar injury to Doyle and Wilson nursing his calf but has been training. Not as much of a disaster as first thought last week in terms of injuries. Quintongo out for a while. And Oakley and Gillespie back in contention going forward. Edited September 29, 2023 by port-ton Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't pin centre backs and compete as well as Oakley does, but he is now capable of leading the line at this level. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port-ton Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Im not actually in the slightest bit bothered by any bitterness he may have towards the club however he was happy to take the applause from the fans on the final home game of last season and still has many fans raging that he left/desperate for him to rejoin so it seems a bit strange just cause he doesn't like Imrie. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
