Washington!

[Pinkie]

Tbh its outrageous we`ve got professional footballers that simply cant see or thread a ball through, madness tbh when there full time and what there getting paid!

[vanhoop]

All this no service ?? Punt any ball into the box and he still won't score. His head mentally can't handle this level, probably half decent if his head was right.good forwards create their own chances.

[Ginger Ninja]

This with big bells on. I'd add Luongo to that mix. No goals from central midfield all f acking season. Two last year. So easy to slate Washington. So, so easy.

Yeah because he's sh!t. And it's his primary job to score goals isn't it? Not Luongo's though, which makes Washington worse.

Washington gets a free pass because the system isn't suited to him.

I personally think there's also potential in Polter as well as Washington - it's just about developing them, as they were both a different type of buy to our past buys (proven buys).
Unfortunately a lot of Rangers fans don't have enough patience to understand development and progression. A lot want that instant success from players, no matter their age or experience.

I think what's different with Washington is that you can see the raw ingredients are there to be a good striker - pacey, young, good movement.
As said before though, maybe the QPR move was a little bit too soon for him - should of loaned him back for a season, like we should still do now.

No striker deserves a free pass for two goals in 34 games. By that logic Holloway also gets a free pass to lose six in a row because he didn't build that team. You play with the hand you're dealt with and adapt.

[Pinkie]

Totally agree west, also think same bout polter, but while we've got these two we should atleast have say another one thats a better already striker so the polters and washington can learn abit more! They shouldnt be our no1 strikers if there still learning unless good enough! So like understudies.

But a loan out for conor would do him good especially a championship side if we're not going to use him in a two upfront, mind you saying that we might still need him for this season the way things are atm!

Yeah agree mate, neither are currently good enough/developed enough to lead the line for us week in, week out.

[Rangers77]

Clearly Washington's record suggests he's not good enough. Like Luongo. That's not surprising given he was signed by Jimmy and Les. He's probably s hit, but the point can also be made that he's hardly ever played up front in a two and never in front of a decent chance creating midfield. Best not to get rid when we've no other strikers though, eh. Only a fool could claim that's giving Washington 'a free pass'.

I agree to a certain extent 2 in 34 aint good but either way you look at it we just missing one thing in most places and that is talent and quality. I think when we went down from championship last time we wasn't this bad i know we wasn't that good either!

you can bang on about patience as much as you like but dropping from this league to league 1 would be a financial catastrophe for us

Dropped or injured last night? (wasn't even on the bench)

[oldhoop]

INJURED ACCORDING TO oLLIE

[vanhoop]

He's not good enough, similar to paying tax one gets no return. All the what ifs if we sold him and he set the world alight,panicky Pete's. Let's concentrate on making Rangers a team we can be proud of again, washeduptington ain't got what we need .

Sadly I totally agree unless olly can somehow sprinkle magic dust on him.

[hal9thou]

But I'd take him up top any day over Seb Polter.

no brainer. The other problem for me up top is Washington. He's supposed to be a striker FFS. Not at this level. Polter and Washington were two awful bits of business, many said so at the time.
