Hately

[Orinoco]

I know we should not focus on any one player after a defeat, but having watched his performance today, what is everyone's constructive views.

 

For me he passed the ball reasonably well, but his positional sense, tackling ability, and effort was very questionable today. He knew we were light in the midfield area, he knew half time was approaching, but to me he bottled it and took the easy option and let his colleagues and fans down. If he was unwell he should not have started!

 

It's time those in charge of our club recognised that he offers nothing in midfield.

 

As for Hately, much like Kerr before him, they've got to realise they have the ability, but without effort, guts and drive, they will never become anything other than average at best.

heeeeeeeey macarena!

Bullshit. Why say you shouldnt single a player then start a new topic?!

 

I thought he was having quite a good game (comparatively) until he went off. In the absence of Jennings then I can assume you would rather have Forbes or Fitzpatrick in there?

[Mic2904]

I personnally think he is a decent player, actually one of the better players over the last few weeks and months.

 

He plays everywhere the gaffer asks him to play and does a good job.

[Ya Bezzer!]

Last season it was hard to believe Hateley had been released by a club in the English lower leagues.

 

This season, it is not that hard to believe.

[Finlay]

Bottom line is he is a much better RB than CM.

[Shaka]

he is a far better rb than cm but thought he did ok today while he was on

agreed

 

saunders was woeful today and if anyone should be singled out then it's him.the og aside his passing was dreadful and 2 or 3 times he gave the ball away up the park and rangers almost scored from it.he's not had many chances fair enough but he's certainly not went on from his performances when he first came into the team.

[Busta Nut]

Fitzpatrick would have been fine in there. my choice

[dosser1886]

Too many guys had a shite game today unfair to focus on any one player.

 

Easier to focus on the guys that were half decent and only, Hammell, Lasley, Murphy and Sutton get passmarks in my book. Fucking hated that game today, couldn't wait for it to finish and get a pint down my neck.

 

New manager can't start soon enough the guys look totally lost and had no direction. Young does a great job for the club but thank fuck he didn't get the first team managers job.

His recent shite performances aren't a patch on those of Alan Gow. Absolute fucking imposter of a footballer. Am i right in saying his contract is up next month?

Think it is mate.

[Rickoza]

Didn't Hateley have to go off ill? Did well considering to be honest.

He did. Thought he played well myself from what i saw.

Looked as if he was being sick. There were worse players than Hately today but i won't single them out.

[Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn]

Hately is a good player i think

 

and he may have bottled it and wanted to come off today but nearly all the team was the same today

 

couldnt be fucked

no doubt gow is a posing poofy bastard but i think hes a decent player who is one step ahead of some boys on the team

I think gow has the makings of a good player, showed some good touches, some good passes and bit of skill, but most of the times he makes the wrong decisions, either from takin to many touches or just making the wrong pass.

+1

gows too greedy thats his only problem

[el-pidge]

I don't think hately is a centre mid at all and I would play Fizzy in there every time. Or Forbes. I've never been huge on Saunders, he has impressed at times but I think his place should be Tom's.

 

I'm the same as most, fucking hated the game and could not wait for it to end. I'm afraid I only got annoyed with Humphrey today when he walked along the east stand crowd looking at us in despair as many headed for the exits. Had it been any other player I might of been shouting don't look to us mate!.... but I remembered he does bust a gut. He just doesn't have to pay to watch total half assed dross. As others have said though, we have been shite before and we will be shite again

 

I thought we would miss Jenno today and we did. Again, as others have mentioned, the word 'imposter' entered my head when watching Gow/Bambi dance about in the park. He makes me miss O'Brien - he should be running about like a headless chicken dictating things in the final third, he looked like his mum had been shot and he was lost in the woods. He needs some perspective or a dose of reality or something... perhaps a bog wash in the east stand urinal?

 

Onwards and upwards. Please. Gargle gargle.

Hateley was indeed ill, but he gave it a go because it was Rangers... i think the lad is a good player who like mentioned before plays where the boss wants him.... Rangers were not great today, but when Hateley went off they took over the match... i would keep him in the team as he contributes most games... and we have seen what happens when he is replaced.

[LadywellToi]

I'm in a quandry, post on this useless thread and put it to the top of the list or not bother and let it drop down onto page 2 where it belongs.

 

He did OK in his 20 minutes and appeared to be playing better than the majority of the rest of the team.

 

He also appeared to take to the field despite having some underlying illness, credit for that in my eyes too.

 

There is a growing list of starters who have consistently underperformed in the past 2 months and they would certainly merit a finger pointing thread more so than Hateley.

[Yir Elder]

As regards Gow, he has so much skill and ability, not to mention a great fitba brain. We'd be very well off if some of our other players were on his wavelength more often. Yes he gives the ball away, but when you're a creator who takes risks that will happen.

[Al Pacino]

Gow plays too many passes that are nearly great balls and tries things that if they come off will be good but the majority of the time they don't. He's obviously a good player but he needs to concentrate on keeping the ball more often rather than trying to force things.
