Quickest in current squad?

[bornabandageheed]

As it says. Next few weeks gonna be long without the weekly fix of Rangers. But it got me thinking who do we think is quickest in current squad. For me Scott Wright or Sakala? I’m sure someone on the forum has official stats for the top speeds of the squad.

 

[davmcc]

I think it's probably Sakala now but I remember a good few players during RTV interviews last season saying it was Brandon Barker.

 

[Jers]

Patterson seems quick.

 

[KGR98]

At full speed it's probably Barker but Sakala and Wright seems to reach there top speed (acceleration) quicker

 

[Hawftimepie]

Over the first 3 yards I would say Kent, also rapid at full pelt. But overall, I reckon Sakala. Scott Wright, Patterson, Bassey, Aribo are all quick. A great attribute to have in the team.

 

[RfcIbrox]

At full speed it's probably Barker but Sakala and Wright seems to reach there top speed (acceleration) quicker

Nathan over 100m?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Over the first 20m or so - which is the important bit - I'd say Sakala.

 

[Main Stand]

Barker, Kent or Sakala.

Most people generally said Barker prior to Sakala’s arrival, however Kent seems more explosive - if you get what I mean

 

[KGR98]

Nathan over 100m?

Over 100m either Sakala or Wright or possibly Kent 200m probably Barker if his hamstrings hold out

 

[northsealoyal]

Raw pace Sakala
Quickest with ball at feet Kent

 

[RfcIbrox]

Top miler? Tav?

 

[Marky86]

I’d say Wright, followed by Sakala

 

[Port Sunlight Ger]

Both Wright And Fashion

 

[a_weir]

Bacuna looks to be pretty rapid.

 

[Rangerscoverboy]

Keep forgetting Barker is still here

 

[Gazza 8]

Bassey over 100 meteres.

Sakala or Wright over 20 meteres.

 

[Fergie90]

Scott Wright.

He sprinted full pelt down the right on Sunday and it was incredibly quick.

He isn't as good a player as Kent or Sakala so will probably be overlooked but he is absolutely rapid.

 

[BlueBritain55]

I think Fashion Jr beats anybody by a good yard.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

Fashion Jr or Wrighty I would say.

 

[Talktalk]

I would imagine over 100m no one would get near Bassey.

 

[Mearns Ranger]

Hagi

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Given his build and stride length Patterson would probably blow them all away over 100-200m.

Off the blocks and first to 50m it would be close between Sakala and Kent I'd imagine.

 

[Captain Gough]

I think it's probably Sakala now but I remember a good few players during RTV interviews last season saying it was Brandon Barker.

I was going to say Barker.

 

[Georgey]

Hagi

 

[Cooperfan]

Who is fastest running with the ball? I'd say Sakala.

 

[fmp]

Best straight acceleration is Sakala. Kent runs him close in a straight line but has him beat on quick changes of direction. Top speed is hard to tell, probably Sakala.

 

[The Reaper]

Can’t remember where it came from but I read an interview suggesting Kamara was the quickest in the squad. This was pre Sakala though who looks rapid to me.

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Fashion Jr.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Hagi

Probably win the 1500 metres.

 

[Liviger1984]

When Bassey gets going he's rapid. Would give most a good race over 100m.

 

[Britannia89]

Big bassey is absolutely rapid on the go, not the quickest off the mark mind you.

 

[Wittenberg]

Borna for the 800metres!

 

[Empire]

Running with the ball, which is the most important thing, it’s Kent.

 

[brain]

Bacuna is rapid too. He kept a ball in a couple of weeks back that I don’t think Usain Bolt was getting to.

 

[Jumpman]

Running with the ball, which is the most important thing, it’s Kent.

Alot of modern football coaches would say off the ball is more important than on the ball

 

[eastenclosurebear]

I always remember someone describing Barker as a Speedboat without a driver.

I always remember someone describing Barker as a Speedboat without a driver.

Seen it more about Sakala. Barker isnt that bad to be honest, he gets a real unfair time from our support. We definitely have better than him in the squad but he’s nowhere near as bad as is made out on here.
