Foderingham and Wilson were particularly good IMO today. What a difference it makes to our entire defence when there's no emphasis on playing the ball out from the back. Foderingham would go long all day today and from there our defence has the play in front and for the first time in a long time I felt we were more than capable of keeping a clean sheet. Bates was shaky at times but at other times his positioning was really good, winning important headers and making one particular block from a cut back in the second half. Beerman looks good on the ball and pacey, could even see him moving up the park when Wallace is fit. Toral played well in the sitting midfield role, offers much more than Halliday ever will. Millers finish was tremendous for his first and the second was well finished after a good bit of pressing by him and Dodoo. Really good goal for Dodoo too, hope the lad gets a run in the team to see what he's got to offer. The scoreline flattered us but nevertheless what a result, another clean sheet and lots of positives.
One negative for me is Garner. He's more hassle than he's worth. Sure we all love a centre forward who likes a physical battle but his decision making is atrocious and his behaviour is bordering on Saturday morning amateur league stuff. Flying into tackles like against Kilmarnock midweek and his carry on with Ryan Jack today was embarrassing.

Thought Waghorn was atrocious too today. Missed another 2 sitters and contributed nothing waste of a jersey

I don't think anyone is atrocious. its just pure inconsistency!
it works when we do the simple things on the pitch and some of the players need to start believing that they are better than they are playing recently

Do you think Waghorn is the answer? Do you think he is good enough?

Good post j1985!, I've said for months on here that kenny miller is a total thoroughbred and great role model professional, who without doubt, deserves another 1 year deal with rangers, for next season! He's also great at captain as he's very vocal and leads by example! He's a big game player of that there's no doubt! He scores in big, important games!
A wee message to CEE who continually slates kenny miller on here! What the hell are you watching mate? He'll be rangers player of the year this season, rightly so and he certainly got my vote! I also think wes foderingham and clint hill have also acquitted themselves very well for us this season! Big wes was once again superb for us against the sheep today, he's a superb shot stopper and deserves a lot more praise than he receives! Maybe its time to give joe dodoo a run in the team beside the evergreen (pardon the word) kenny miller!

Got to agree with garner, feared a red was coming after that shocking dive. Couldn't hit a barn door! Wilson was a rock today. foddy class

Great result today, a bit of a surprise to be honest, it can only boost confidence. Don't mean to be downbeat but I've posted on hear before regarding Garner. I'm not a fan, his priority is to score goals not pick up yellow cards thus putting pressure on himself and the team. I feel £1.8 million could of been spent more wisely. He and Waghorn should be embarrassed by their displays and should look up to the ageing Kenny Miller. On a positive note Beerman, Bates and Dodoo should be proud.

Spot on mate both Garner and Waghorn are awful and not what we need. Both contribute next to nothing and Garner is a red card waiting to happen

Dodoo should be given the chance as waghorn and garner are a waste of space. and is it a coincidence that Hyndman was a standout for murty, but bin crap for caixhina.

Bengy25 not saying waggy is the answer or good/ not good enough, the same with garner.
man management with both these guys will sort out the problems and weakness
i don't think personaly these guys fit the system that Caixinha is playing but they can do better
dodoo looks a better fit with miller but he need games, bates beerman, dodoo, windass will thrive with the manager giving them game time

J1985! what a cracking post, that summed the game (and Garner) up perfectly for me!
