Its a shame that when Lee Wallace gets back to full fitness we'll revert back to a 4-3-3 because I think if Rangers adopted a 3-4-2-1 similar to the formation which Conte has played at Chelsea, then O'Halloran and McKay would be a good pairing through the middle behind the centre forward. Despite MOH's lack of form, domestic defenders are aware of his pace and don't like the prospect of playing against him. This paired with the skill and creativity of an in form McKay would be sure to cause panic in most SPL back lines. Wallace and Tav would be forced to press high and provide from the flanks. Just food for thought but most will say we aren't Chelsea and we don't have Willian, Pedro, Alonso and Moses! 😂 Point taken

Who's your back 3? Hill. Wilson, and Keirnan? Sounds good, drop Halliday and introduce Toral with Holt bring American kid off the bench.
19 Jan 2017 19:12:29
Foderingham, Hill, Wilson, Kiernan, Wallace, Halliday?, Holt, Tavernier, O'Halloran, McKay, Dodoo/ Garner

Hill and Wilson far too slow to play in a back 3, wing backs go forward they'd get pulled out wide n wouldn't cope with it

Can anyone tell me what Holt has done this season?
19 Jan 2017 23:05:40
Toral would challenge McKay and MOH for the 2 spots behind Garner/ Dodoo and Hyndman would challenge for Halliday and Holts positions.
I agree about the centre backs being slow as Wilson had a nightmare against Leipzig but this was down to lack of matches and I still feel as though he has the pedigree to be nurtured in to a stalwart in defence.
Despite the negativity surrounding Kiernan which I admit I engaged in last season and at the start of this season. I am starting to see why Warbs has faith in him. He shows real strength at times and does not panic even though he has to stamp out the odd moment of madness. But he's thick skinned and brushes off the abuse like it's nothing. He will demand a big transfer fee in the future, as English centre halfs in his mold are hard to come by.
Hill's experience is invaluable. So he stays also.

Would have senderos before Wilson or Kiernan tbh

Good post Keepbelieving, I have been critical of Kiernan yet I can see a lot of potential in his play and Wilson proved before that he has ability when he played alongside Weir. They both need quality coaching and I would have hoped that Weir could provide this and perhaps there is a role for Hill on the coaching side to work with these lads and the young boy we signed from Raith Rovers.
I remain hopeful that once Rossiter is back in the team and we have that extra cover for our defence that we will see a stronger central defence. In terms of our full backs I would prefer to see one good solid defender along the lines of Porini playing in a back four with an attacking full back on the other flank.

Would be dropping holt before halliday

CR Bear, Personally I would drop them both! While Holt is young and can improve I don't see this with Halliday. Either we see what he is like in an attacking midfield role or we look to make some money on him. I just don't believe that he is that good and he is never a holding midfield player in a million years.
We have just signed two lads on loan and both of them are better than Halliday. I would deploy Toral as an attacking midfield player and Hyndman in the Holding Midfield Role. If Halliday is to play then I would play him rather than Windass, (although I have to say that I am a fan of Windass), and Holt would be on the bench.
