We all constantly go on here for the need of a goalscorer (poacher), rightly so! Here's a finisher who is going out on loan from middlesbrough, jordan rhodes, go get him warbs. He'd score a barrowload up here and he's an instinctive, natural finisher. Fellow bears, what do you think?



21 Nov 2016 22:52:34
I agree Rhodes would score in our league and would like to see him. He's been at quite few clubs and scored his fair share of goals. In fact most people would score in our league the question is how many? And Rhodes fits the bill for barrowload given he gets chances.



21 Nov 2016 23:32:03
Yes I'd take him but who is going to pay his wages we haven't got that kind of money we can all pick players who we would like to see at Ibrox but the days of just go and get him are gone.



22 Nov 2016 09:42:10
If the Scottish league is so bad, and easy to score in, Rangers must have extremely terrible players.



22 Nov 2016 17:08:52
The only logic to getting a poacher is if there are plenty of balls going into the six yard box/ chances being missed in there. There aren't! The two wide men / midfield are where the missing goals should be coming from!



22 Nov 2016 20:22:13
A good goalscorer but we couldn't afford him and clubs at a higher level will want him if he's loaned out.



23 Nov 2016 07:57:38
If you were to get rhodes on loan you wouldn't need to pick up his full wages, middlesbrough would be paying a good bit of them.



21 Nov 2016 20:29:25
Haliday needs to be dropped to many hospital passes and he blames everyone else.



22 Nov 2016 12:53:10
he's our only consistently good performer.



21 Nov 2016 17:52:49
dundee sat deep not allowing moh to run at them, so lay off him. tav couldn't cross the road! holt gets blown down in a breeze, keirnan can't win his headers. dodoo looks more like a striker in a 442 maybe.



22 Nov 2016 00:59:41
I honestly can't see what anyone sees in the boy, he is like the boy in every school team that's fast on the wing but can't cross can't score and can't find a pass, every time he gets the ball people get excited but time and time again he runs into a defender and loses the ball or runs the ball out of the park. Said before I would hold my hands up if he proved me wrong and I stick by that, but how many chances does he deserve.



22 Nov 2016 12:53:51
he can't cross? he puts in loads of very good crosses just there is absolutely nobody trying to get on the end of them.



22 Nov 2016 17:11:41
It's not a good cross if nobody's there! Sick of people, commentators included, praising professional footballers for passing to non-existent players! If he's not there, don't pass it there. Easy!



22 Nov 2016 17:43:52
He simply cannot deliver crosses accurately. That's why he's with us and not Arsenal or somebody.



22 Nov 2016 17:48:02
its a strikers job to BE THERE and keep up with the play, they need to read the game a whole lot more than they do, and oh yes shooting practise wouldn't go amiss at Auchenhowie
Jimmy Millar, Ralph Brand, Jim Forrest, Mark Hateley, Nacho Novo, Dado Prso, Ally McCoist were all good strikers and none were exactly speed bombs, but THEY read the game the right way.



22 Nov 2016 17:48:59
oh yesand Derek Parlane and Colin Stein too.



22 Nov 2016 18:08:29
What a load of rubbish, he hasn't put a decent ball in all season, anybody can hit a ball across the park, a good crosser of the ball finds a man or dinks it into the right position for his fellow player to run on to. He hasn't justified the money paid for him and for me the only reason he is still there is because we would be lucky to get 150k back for him . Rotten.



23 Nov 2016 12:32:44
did none of you watch the game at the weekend? kenny Miller missed 3 absolute sitters at the back post which garner and moh put on a fecking plate. moh isn't exactly ronaldo but at least he tried to get in behind and create a goal.



21 Nov 2016 17:34:58
crooks and windas played well together last season. i'd play crooks give him a few games, should add presence to our lightweight team. windas haliday and crooks midfield 3.thought holt was off boil at weekend.



21 Nov 2016 20:28:04
Halliday needs to be dropped to many hospital passes.



22 Nov 2016 12:54:12
crooks barely played in midfield last season for Accrington.



21 Nov 2016 08:48:01
Time to rest Halliday I think. No doubting his 100% commitment to the club and that he is a true blue through and through but he gave the ball away too often on Saturday. I know Rossiter isn't fit but if Crooks is fit, perhaps he could play or push Tav forward? I also think Dodoo should start the next 2 or 3 games. Wallace looks back to his best. Team v Partick (if everybody is fit) :
Foderingham; Hodson, Wilson, Hill, Wallace; Tavernier, Holt, Windass; Dodoo, Garner, Forrester
Next 4 league games Partick (a), Hearts (a), Aberdeen (h) and Hearts (a) . What should be our minimum target points?



21 Nov 2016 09:21:52
Tav at centre mid? Hodson is pish, Halliday has done very little wrong, Dodoo has done nothing a part from his assist on Saturday, why change the centreback partnership when we have conceded very few goals recently? why are we dropping O'hal for an attacking mid? Thank fook you aren't the manager.

Also we have a home game against hearts not two away games.



21 Nov 2016 09:25:13
Hearts at home 4th game.



21 Nov 2016 09:34:03
Few people been on here commenting about Dundee parking the bus on Saturday. Think it's a safe bet that none of the teams in the next 4 games will do that so I would expect Rangers to be looking at a minimum of getting 10 points.



21 Nov 2016 09:35:53
Agree doiger re dodoo getting a run. Personally I don't think MOH has impressed, I don't think he's scored against an SPL side this season. I'd rather forrester in front of him too.



21 Nov 2016 09:43:09
You're in a good mood onlyshowaround. Got out of bed the wrong side have we? Halliday isn't Rangers class, Tavernier right-side midfield if you look again and how can you criticise Hodson who hasn't had a chance yet? We play Hearts home and away, my mistake. Finally, Wilson is better than Kiernan. Now go and take two paracetamols and start the week again!



21 Nov 2016 09:57:59
lmao at you guys that think our best defender this season should be played out of his position and bumped into midfield again they tried that band it didn't work remember.
tav should keep his lb spot.
halliday is rangers class but hasn't hit the heights he did in april.
forrester has to be ahead of MOH who had 1 and a half good games.
forrester does play on the wing aswell as c/ a/ m.

Wilson is better than keirnan, god i'm better than Kiernan at cb, IMO the boy is stealing a wage and is never a footballer.

id like the 12 points out of those fixtures as if we get that then we will have a gap between us and the sheep.



21 Nov 2016 10:03:34
What is Rangers class? is it players that we can no longer afford? You have Tav as a right centre mid, do tell me the massive difference between a centre mid and a right centre mid? minus that of the 10 yard positioning difference. Hodson played well against Celtic, thanks to Tav, he was then shown to be what he is against St Johnstone, a back up player at best. we have conceded just 3 goals since the start of October WHY CHANGE THE DEFENSE?! I'm going to need more than two paracetamols after I'm done attempting to understand your logic.



21 Nov 2016 10:20:45
Doiger think you're right about Halli day. He could have been sent off for that foul on Wighton as well. I think Crooks should be given a chance against Thistle but doubt it will happen. As far as Dodoo and Forrester starting MW was calling Forrester a good impact sub at the moment so have my doubts about either of them starting as well. As for the next 4 games (2nd Hearts game is at Ibrox by the way) our target should be 12 points minimum 10.Hearts are just as inconsistent as us and we could and should have beaten Aberdeen at Pittodrie. We're struggling away from home but Thistle were poor on Sat. so we should get a win there (surely? ) . These games are a chance to show that we can and will finish 2nd so co me on Gers let's do it, eh!



21 Nov 2016 11:03:29
Onlyshow again youve mised it. He is saying play tav right mid 4-4-2 tav, holt, windass and forrester across the mid dodoo and garner up top.



21 Nov 2016 11:28:17
would bring in dodoo for Miller as the only change.



21 Nov 2016 11:32:08
Huey, well if that is what he is saying he isn't doing it very well.

Tavernier, Holt, Windass;

That to me (and probably 95% of football fans) means three in midfield.



21 Nov 2016 11:39:34
meant to say tav should keep the rb position not lb lol.
Hodson isn't as good as tav and rightly should be the back up player to him.
rangers class won't be found until we have money to spend .
give the manager his credit he has built a team which didn't cost anything in transfer fees apart for what maybe 2 mill wich is pennys in this day in age. (not to us obviously)

people need to get real and realize not every signing will work out but that's what happens when every players we buy is one we are taking a chance on because he is free.



21 Nov 2016 12:07:12
Watched the C. D Rangers story Friday night and saw real movement of the ball from mid fielders like McMillan, Bobby Russell, Paul Gasgoin, then went to the game Sat, and the team looked like we had 11 Butch Wilkens, square or back passing from everybody, we must be the easiest team in the league to defend against, far too slow no penetration, I had to nudge the guy next to me as he was falling asleep.



21 Nov 2016 12:44:28
Thought Halliday was murder on sat. Maybe time to see what the boy crooks can do.



21 Nov 2016 12:50:35
so it's you who woke me up! lol.



21 Nov 2016 14:26:29
Onlyshowaround. I'll send you some morphine instead.



21 Nov 2016 19:01:53
Hudson is far from pish onlyshowaround. He has been one of our better players when he has played. Also always plays well when selected at international level, which is not very often I would admit. Very versatile consistent player when called upon, good back up player for us and it does not worry me if he is selected, which I can't say about some of our defender's!



21 Nov 2016 21:57:24
Morning bears - as delighted as I was with the 3pts, I just wanted to question how much we actually work the keeper.

Warbs philosophy is obviously based around possession which I agree with and we are still finding our feet in this league but possession has to be meaningful and I'd like to see that converted a bit more in to clean cut chances - as we've hardly worked the keeper in our last 2 games - 70% posesssion is all well and good but not if he only needs to make 1decent save.

To that end, I present to you harry forrester. the lad has a great knack of getting goals and assists and comes alive in the final third which is what we are missing just now - I'd give him a run over MoH or dodoo who I'd have as impact subs.



21 Nov 2016 22:11:43
Look guys, i'm not rob kiernan's biggest fan also, but honour where honour is due guys! He's looked pretty solid, the last few games beside clint hill, who's without doubt been our best defender this season, even though he's 38 years old now. Big kiernan is benefiting and learning from playing beside the experienced hill!

A point on an out and out poacher we should be at least trying to bring in on loan. Jordan rhodes of middlesbrough! Seemingly they're prepared to let him go out on loan. Thoughts on him?



22 Nov 2016 12:56:19
100% correct Cooper eleven. I've said it before name another defender in the league you would rather have? mcmanus? Taylor? maybe the only ones I would take would be Ozturk and souttar and only souttar because I think he could become a better player not necessarily because he is better the now.
