Should Washington be dropped?

I think the last part of that last paragraph is their manager Stan.

You're right mate. Fixed the quote now. Thanks for the correction!

"I watched the Sheffield United game on Friday night. They are a good side and we’re looking forward to testing ourselves again. They have got great fans as well, so it will be a really good game.

And then it’s Aston Villa. They just seem to keep coming in the Championship, don’t they? There are great teams all around, but we back ourselves against anyone here. We seem to do better against the better teams. They are probably going to have the ball a little more than us and move the ball quicker and try to break through the lines.

Sides outside the top six give us a different challenge. We seem to struggle a bit against the teams who give us a bit of the ball so we need to work on a formula to get points off those teams. It is impossible to win every game and we cannot stay too much time in sorrow. We have to hit back, step up and show that we want to be really high."

For the love of God, bench Mackie and Washington now

We have a solid goalie, a gutty defense despite a mountain of injuries, one of the best midfield trios in the league, and an anemic offense. The stubbornness of Ollie to keep playing Mackie and Washington, mediocrity in motion who are punchless, makes every Rangers fan bloody mad. The immediate answer: start Sylla and Wheeler, bring Smith on late in games, promote Shodipo and when back Eze for spot appearances. DO NOT waste any more time on Mackie, Washington, Ngkobota, Lua Lua or Cousins.

If we can’t score more than one goal a game, we re headed to the relegation line. Two goals a game and we can move up the table. Wake up, Ollie. Before you put this framchise to sleep in the relegation zone.

what? Ball should have been in plenty of times from plenty of shots but he's a striker and if he wants to play for a championship side, he has to be able to at least hit it wide of the keeper but within the confines of the posts, at least make the keeper work for it, I criticised Sylla at the game for the same issue even though he was offside when he shot embarrasingly off target early in the game.

Plenty of shots? He had 1 and it went in !!? You can carry on talking about the last 18 months if you want but I am simply saying he can actually hit it harder than all the powder puff shots people have banged on about. Hopefully that will spur him on in the next game.

As for Sylla...thought he did well to get it down to be able to have a pop let alone get it on target.

People on here expect us to have players that can score at will....newsflash....Charlie Austin fcked off a long time ago.

Hard enough to hit the back of the net though wasnt it?

i feel the same way about crapie. In theory, we are playing with 9 men and two sheep dogs

That's fantastic

[Shepherds Mush]

fair point, straight at the keeper.... Friday's shot was going right at the keeper again, needed the deflection to go in.

if someone has no confidence for 2 years, he's not worth playing. There's a difference between a confidence player and a silver spoon player who needs to be fed everything. I rate his overall play a lot more now than i used to but his finishing is so damn poor, it feels like we're wasting a spot in the side every single game he starts because we know he's 90% likely not to score.

Nas you could tell the way he was shaping hes lacking in confidence and also by his reaction when it went in off the defender! hes obviously a confidence player but he was almost scared of hitting it you could tell.

It will be good for his confidence when NI are meeting Norway!! We are ranked just above Syria and Iraq.

The one thing about his goal on friday that seems to been missed is the space he pulled into to get the shot off. Yes there was a deflection to the shot but think the boy deserves that little bit of luck.

Negatives: Can't shoot, can't shoot, can't shoot, can't dribble after the first touch, can't shoot, can't shoot, we already have enough.
