BottledDog Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Just caught his post match interview on .co.uk - It's really difficult to work out if anything is taken on board. God knows how he is in training, frustrating, but no doubt got something about him.....but then the caravan park in Wales....fish farm and the fuzzy shoes....and it's all like.....ooooooh....shiny! Come on son, love you, but....FOCUS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Said it earlier in the season but he's still at the LuaLua type impact sub stage of his career at the moment nowhere near being good enough to start. A loan to a Championship club would do him good next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 He's been taking the piss a bit at his parent club, God knows how he'd behave if we loaned him out. I'd keep him as close to the north east as possible, Scotland or somewhere like Doncaster or Carlisle. Maybe a loan to a League Two club, give him a bit of a kick up the backside and show him the level he'll be playing at if he doesn't drop this act he's got. Of course you can say he didn't have much in the way of creativity around him, but when it came down to simple things like holding onto the ball he was a bit lacking. There's definitely something there, it's his attitude holding him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 He was on a hiding to nothing yesterday. His main asset is pace but he was mainly dealing with balls direct to him in the air with at least one CB on him at all times. He was also paired with Loven and was pitched up against Collins who showed all his experience in dealing with Ranger with ease, i'd expect Colo or even Williamson to be able to dominate a relatively raw young forward who's given little to no direct support. Loan next year, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Professional footballer in arrogant twat shocker. Bit harsh if that's the general view. No idea what he's like about town but comes accross as a really good lad in his interviews, just young and flakey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Should be sent out on loan to the Championship next season, he's way off being a Premiership standard striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely something there, it's his attitude holding him back. Carroll went on loan to Preston, was shite and got into trouble off the pitch as well but I bet he learnt a lot from that experience. Get Ranger out there (somewhere), even if he isn't a success on the pitch it will hopefully teach him a lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 His natural instinct is to scrap with and run at the defender, whereas he was trying yesterday to do as he is told and to play keepball with his back to goal. This resulted in him mostly getting it nicked off him. A bit more of his instinctive play taking risks in the last third and roughing up the centre backs would suit him better I think. Its a pity he gave Dunne and Collins too much respect because I think he could have embarrassed them with his pace if he turned and ran at them a bit more. They seem to be told to fall over too much nowadays, why cant the forward put the defender on his arse for a change. Ranger is getting bigger, I'm sure he could stay on his feet and do it if he was allowed too. Ashley Young spent most of the game curled up in the foetal position everytime a defender came near him, is this what Ranger is being told to copy?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Anywhere that he gets minutes in a decent team and gets knocked about a bit will be great for him. Maybe Leeds if they send Sanchez Watt back to Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 If Pardew started Kuqi ahead of Ranger yesterday he would have been shot with shit. If Kuqi started the next game and didn't play well there would be calls for Ranger to go back in. I think they are much the muchness in terms of starting. Each have things the other can't offer but neither should be starting. That said, if we don't have Shola back I would persist with Ranger, at least he would be getting experience.

Loan next year, please. Pretty much how I saw it. He got no change out of Collins in the air, but then neither did Kuqi when he came on. Rangers best moments were in the first half when he was running onto passes along the floor. He could have played in Loven on a couple of occasions maybe but the passes weren't really clear and he went for goal instead. Not the right game to judge him considering the midfield who were to provide the service didn't really show up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Just watched his NUFCTV interview god it was hard to watch, he is so awkward infront of camera, but I think trying to seem he is laid back comes across as can hardly speak. As for all this loan him out.. nailed on its what he needs but that's for next season.. THIS season, what's left of it.. all he needs is us 100% behind him because like it or not we are relying on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
