Match Thread ** Ayr Utd v Rangers - Sun 11th Feb - Sky Sports **

[YorkshireBlue]

Heavy snow here in Ayr, starting to lie

Well start telling the truth and let us know what the weather really is.

 

[JeffreySpaulding]

6+ goals for us please.

 

[rez1872]

We have never gone to Somerset and won by 5 or 6 in recent years.

It will be a tight, tough match and McCall will have them right up for it.

2v1 Rangers.

2v1 Rangers.

McColl will not be there.had operation on eye has been told stay at home for 2 weeks.

 

[CoplandRearGer]

Docherty and Cummings start.

Wes, Tav, Bates, Martin, John, Goss, Doc, Murphy, Windass, Cummings, Morelos

 

[Kaiserweiss]

3/0 will do me

 

[mdingwall]

Whats the weather down there like today?

 

[Boab4]

Play 2 up front and drop our best winger, I despair at times.

 

[dh1963]

Docherty and Cummings start.

Wes, Tav, Bates, Martin, John, Goss, Doc, Murphy, Windass, Cummings, Morelos

Holt dropped... who will be captain?

Who is playing on the right?

 

[Roger Smith Loyal]

What's the midfield going to be like? 4 across the middle or a diamond?

Captain Tav.

 

[ek96]

wes got to be captain

 

[MarkWayneHateley]

No candeas

 

[Yer da]

Two up front and our best creator is on the bench, eh?

 

[Skoosh1872]

Holt dropped... who will be captain?

Who is playing on the right?

I’d guess Tav will be captain.

Right side Murphy?

 

[Roger Smith Loyal]

Would have liked to see Cardoso back in too.

 

[scotty27]

Holt dropped... who will be captain?

Who is playing on the right?

Looks like he's gone back to the diamond. Expect Docherty to be on the right of it.

 

[Morelos20]

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 to me with Cummings Windass and Murphy behind Morelos but hoping it’s 4-4-2 although that means Windass is wide in a 4 again so has to put the effort in.

 

[Ian-RFC]

RANGERS: Foderingham; Tavernier, Martin, Bates, John; Goss, Docherty, Murphy, Windass; Morelos, Cummings.

SUBS: Kelly, Cardoso, Herrera, Miller, Halliday, Holt, Candeias.

 

[Papa Sasac]

Must be a diamond with 2 up top?

Doc holding, Goss and Windass with Murphy top of it? Or Windass top of it?

Or Murphy left with Goss and Doc then Windass right?

Glad to see Cummings and Morelos starting together. Candeias is an important player for us however, happy for him to be rested but we need him more than we need Cummings so hopefully not a shoehorning job we’ll see too often. Plus he’s our player and that lineup has 4 loans starting.

Come on the Gers, good attacking display and solid result.

 

[Teddyjohn]

Would’ve preferred to see Candeias start instead of Windass.

 

[JeffreySpaulding]

Got to be 4-4-2 with diamond.

 

[Templebear]

Holt dropped... who will be captain?

Who is playing on the right?

Not surprised Holt is dropped he is suspended for next Sunday so we need Doc to be up to speed.

 

[New York Bear]

I’d be amazed if the game makes it.

Looking fine now. https://mobile.twitter.com/mister_denny1/status/962664484757176326

 

[Oduwa]

Two up front, praise the lord.

 

[Gascoigne8]

Cummings wide right my prediction

 

[rez1872]

4-4-2 Diamond by the looks of it

 

[Yer da]

Cummings wide right my prediction

Murty said in pre match interview that he wants to see Cummings & Morelos play together, so it sounds like two up front.

 

[DJ Blue]

Like the look of that.

 

[Blutoe]

Why on earth would you play two up front but drop Candeias? He provides more than any other player we have? Windass wide? Ffs

 

[bluetonic]

Not surprised Holt is dropped he is suspended for next Sunday so we need Doc to be up to speed.

Good decision by Murty, Docherty needs game time

-----------------------Wes

Is how I'd imagine we're lining up, although Windass and Murphy could be swapped around from where I've got them.

 

[Yer da]

Declan McDaid and Alan Forrest are two wee rats to keep an eye on.

 

[Calico Jack]

Docherty and Cummings start.

Wes, Tav, Bates, Martin, John, Goss, Doc, Murphy, Windass, Cummings, Morelos

Why would we not play Candeias instead of Windass?

Would’ve preferred to see Candeias start instead of Windass.

Exactly my thought.


................Wes................
Tav....Bates.. Martin.... John
................Goss................
Candeias..........Muphy
................Doc................
Cummings..........Morelos

 

[Big Bawz Baloo]

How the f uck can Holt be dropped?

 

[wsb&warmy]

Why would we not play Candeias instead of Windass?




Exactly my thought.

If it's a 4-4-2 diamond we're going with, which I suspect it is, then we've already seen that Candeias isn't suited to it (At home to Aberdeen).

 

[Aldo007]

4-4-2 Diamond by the looks of it

Who is bottom of the diamond? I thought both Goss and Docherty were more attacking midfiielders, although i have not seen enough of Docherty to know what he does.

 

[rossgers]

Docherty and Cummings start.

Wes, Tav, Bates, Martin, John, Goss, Doc, Murphy, Windass, Cummings, Morelos

That looks a 442 with Windass punted wide.

 

[davieb1973]

C'mon The Rangers, get this game won and into the next round, enjoy the game all.

Think you're right regarding swapping Murphy and Windass, purely for Murphy's work rate

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

How the f uck can Holt be dropped?

Suspended next week, so letting doc and goss play together

 

[wsb&warmy]

How the f uck can Holt be dropped?

Because he's suspended for the next league game so may as well get his replacement game time before that comes up.

I think Windass will be behind the front 2 and Murphy in midfield. Presume Murphy has played as a more central midfielder before rather than wide left?

 

[Turrabear]

Like the look of that.

Agree with you there mate.

 

[pelem]

Didn't realise that cockflashing Forrests brother plays for Ayr. Hope he gets snapped.

How D'ye know, has he nae neck either ?.

 

[Calico Jack]

He has to be, as all too often he goes AWOL out wide.

 

[Jaws II]

That is near to our best team of those who are fit.

I would play Candieas before Windass though.

Holt is a trier but he isn’t good enough and doesn’t create much for me, Docherty has to be starting games for us now.

 

[TukTuk to Bangla]

Declan McDaid and Alan Forrest are two wee rats to keep an eye on.

Declan is a wee poet from Dunoon.

 

[Bo'ness Bear]

The shape that Murray plays will be very interesting. I also find it a little strange that he keeps being openly critical of Josh, and yet will not drop him.

I would rather...

Wes

Tav Bates Martin John

Docherty Goss

Windass _____________Murphy

Cummings Morelos
​

And although I like Josh, I would rather have seen Candeias play.... but as Windass seems undroppable I would play him on the right.
