That’s what he is there for to make mistakes and learn. He will have more good than bad games for Pompey.

Pretty sure we were saying the exact same thing about Kent 13 months ago
Not every game is going to result in world class performances. That's why they're out on loan in the first place, because they're not consistent enough to get a starting place at their parents club.
He'll be fine

Christ!
End his loan. Big Ross looks like shit since he moved down there, Look at the state of his hair and the tats.
His gaff looks really rough as well.
Bring the lad home for his own good.

I really haven’t a clue how McCrorie has being at Portsmouth but some of the opinions on here that he was the next Franz Beckenbauer sadly are way off the mark.
I to be honest share the same opinion of Ross McCrorie, I don't think he will ever be good enough to forge a career at Rangers and will spend his career floating around the lower divisions in England and Scotland. I honestly think he is no better than average.

Just the tip...
I’m the same. I really like him but people are kidding themselves on a bit because he’s one of us. Decent player who’ll improve, but i think he’d have to improve on the ball ten fold to ever become a regular for us, which is unlikely. He’d be a decent sub though.

FF delusions, he’s one of our own nonsense.

Must admit I am very much in the same boat. I'm extremely doubtful he will ever make it in midfield as his touch & distribution needs to massively improve (& such technical abilities are among the hardest to develop). Therefore he will remain a bit part midfielder useful only for particular games to add a physical presence. Not exactly the dynamic player we require.
And he certainly isn't going to make it at centre half either.
Would love him to make it as well & develop leaps & bounds on loan however my expectations are not great

I know, mental isn't it.
Some of our fans supporting and wanting a young guy to do well.

Did Ross not play in 3 out of 4 Old Firm games last season & acquitted himself well enough. I still think he has a chance with us - not at centre back but I think he has the attributes for right back.

Defensive mid mate.
Got hooked early 2nd half when they were 2-1 down.
Game finished 2-2.

Except he’s not having a go at people for wanting him to do well, he’s talking about people kidding themselves on he’s better than he is.

There’s no answer to that because players progress at different rates and hit their primes at different ages. I think he’d have to be a lot better on the ball even by 21 though, problem is he won’t get any better if he’s not getting the game time, hence the loan deal.
For me McCrorie and Docherty are in similar situations, both have great energy and tenacity which fans love, but both are quite a bit away from having the technical ability to be regulars in our side.
Officially changed his name to Portsmouth Football Club iirc and runs a second hand football book shop.

Which says to me “he wont be good enough” is as unfounded as “he’s a future Rangers captain”.
Jon Flanagan’s technical ability isn't great either but people want him in ahead of Barisic.
12 months ago, Jordan Jones and Greg Stewart werent “Rangers quality”. Now there’s an expectation they’ll help win us the league.
The whole thing shows how fickle football fans are.

Really? I don’t have that expectation, I certainly don’t think Stewart will do much to win us the league, in fact I still don’t really get that signing even if it is low risk.
McCrorie is a long way off the required technical standard, not many players improvise 10 fold beyond the age of 21, so I think it’s quite reasonable for fans to feel like he’s probably never going to be a regular.

Could very likely be a similar thread on a Liverpool forum with our fans comments on Ojo

I think RM will end up being a right back and a very good one.
Never mind when we drop points, even when we win certain players get it tight (think Saturday, think Ojo)
The very quote some shat their pants about when Worral said it last season

My thinking as well, I think he’ll end up a decent addition to any squad and hopefully it’s Rangers.
He has versatility on his side, that’s no bad for a squad player

I share that thought. I don't see him makng it anywhere else...for us.
He's not coming back from that loan and ousting any of our current midfield crop.

Can't just be him. They have won one out of six in the league.

Very true mate, it’s take a lot of mental toughness to play for us, not just talent, there can’t be many places in the world where the team gets booed off at half time when it’s 0-0!

I think Mcrorie will make a good defensive midfielder for a mid table team that’s on the back foot a lot
His best games for us came at Pittodrie and the 29th December last year when we were in battles
Sadly most of our games aren’t like that and we expect more from central midfielders
However he is a young man and has time on his side

Kidding themselves on?
Or maybe just trying to be optimistic rather than negative, pessimistic, draining weirdos?

He won 100% of his tackles air air duals in his last old firm . Cant say that about many other people.

Is it just an FF thing that likes to jump on young players.In all the games that he has played for us I think he has made one mistake.He is one of the few that stood up to the tramps in recent years.

I live half hour from Portsmouth , Fred heads up the local ITV news every night . Not pretty

The biggest problem he has is that nobody, including him, seems to be certain of his best position. He's young enough to still work it out but for nobody to be certain whether he's a midfielder, a CB or a RB at this point won't help him improve on any specific position.
