Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 are you lot going to acknowledge the fact that Ranger isn't ready for first team football when his strike partner is Carroll? The lad grafts, run his bollocks off and at times shows nice touches and decent strength. Means nothing when he doesn't have a clue where to stand or where to run. He's going to have to go back to the reserves, continue to mature as a player and get the occassional 20 minutes when we're up against it. Harewood had been on the pitch 10 minutes and he'd scored one and three times got into a goalscoring position, the difference he made was staggering. As I said on Saturday he HAS to start the next game. Still i'm sure there will be one or two who'll still pick Ranger and Carroll, who've managed 2 goals between them in a combined 16 games.

Dave Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 So basically what you're saying is: Harewood is better than Ranger. Hughton makes some strange decisions. Mind-blowing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mantis Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have never thought he is ready for the first team. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Obviously there's been some concern over whether Harewood's match fitness will allow him to start games right now, coupled with the fact that Ranger did very well in the last game which we won 4-0, meant it was a pretty simple choice to go with Ranger ahead of Harewood. I would be staggered if Harewood did not start ahead of Ranger in the next game however. Of course Ranger's got a lot of learning to do, and he's nowhere near the finished product, but trust me he's learned a million more things in his outings for the first team this season, than he will ever do playing in the stiffs league with the reserves.

Newcastle Fan Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 No one ever said Ranger was a god (Not seriously..anyway) however for an 18 Yearold who's just getting a taste of what senior level football is like he's pretty decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was just amazed that most wanted Carroll and Ranger up front again. As someone said, Harewood probably wasn't match fit and Carroll and Ranger played the last game where we won 4-0. Hardly a crazy decision to start them again.

Guest Heneage Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Like any youngster he should be on the cusp of the first team on the bench gaining experience when we are comfortably winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Why is Lovenkrands not getting a chance up front? We all know he's no winger, so if he's really behind 4 players in the pecking order, why bother giving him a contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Libertine Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 giving him 10 minutes at the end of every second game does nothing for him. if we're winning (and, yes, we have been...a lot) whats the harm in playing him? this league is like the training wheels on a bike for a few of our young players. its excellent experience for the future.

Ronaldo Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 He's been with us for a month now and it's been almost 3 weeks since his appearance at Cardiff, he's surely fit enough now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 clearly not, but one of them should be starting Why clearly not? You're here arguing that our senior players should be playing because they're much better. Well considering their experience and probable wages both Harewood and Lovenkrands should be keeping the likes of Carroll and Ranger out of the starting line-up.

TRon Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Why is Lovenkrands not getting a chance up front? We all know he's no winger, so if he's really behind 4 players in the pecking order, why bother giving him a contract? He's not getting a chance because he hasn't earned one yet. Ranger's been far more effective and worked much harder when given a first team shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
