Josh Windass
 

Did any of you notice that Josh was in the Glasgow Rangers starting team on Saturday Looks like he's going to make a big success of his career. I wish him well

Re: Josh Windass
 

Any news on Matt Crooks?

Re: Josh Windass
 

Not only in the team but he had a hand, or at least a foot, in each of the 'Gers goals. There are highlights on the BBC football page under Scottish football, etc, etc.

Cheers Exile wasn't aware of that, great through ball from joss fer the first goal.:)

Re: Josh Windass
 

Josh looks really good in patches but can be a bit inconsistent with his decision making sometimes. He is playing in a 3 man midfield but tends to drift forward leaving the midfield a bit short but then he is more a forward than midfielder. I think he can be a really good player if he continues to develop.

Matt has only had a couple of sub appearances in the first team but not looked too spectacular which is to be expected given the length of time he has been out. Word is he hasn't been spectacular in the under 20s but match fitness will be a problem anyway. The fans have high hopes for him so it could get dodgy if he doesn't live up to expectations.

Re: Josh Windass
 

I think both can become good uns at that level, Joss if he becomes more consistent, Matty if his health holds up.

Re: Josh Windass
 

Deeayess,if you remember when he first come to Acci he was tried in centre mid,then right/left wing,but once he settled in behind the front man and didn't have to track runners his career really took off.
You don't realise how quick he is and fantastic technical ability.
Going against my principles,I would build a team around him,I rate him that highly.
Don't over coach him,just let him do his stuff !!!

Re: Josh Windass
 

I would like to think so as they are good guys but playing at clubs like Rangers and Celtic carries a lot of pressure to succeed. More so Rangers just now given the way they are struggling this season.

The game last Wednesday against St Johnstone was awful and the team were booed off at the end by some fans and the manager was getting dogs abuse online by some fans.

Its a bit like the Newport game on a far bigger scale I would think :D

Re: Josh Windass
 

I agree but Mark Warburton doesn't seem to agree with us. The game can be a lot more physical up here and can also be faster paced but less skillful.

Re: Josh Windass
 

Crooksy needs to come to us on loan in Jan, get back his fitness and confidence.... :)

:) :) :)

Re: Josh Windass
 

Again I would agree but then I'm biased :) . There is a lot of pressure on him to do well from the fans so if he plays and doesn't perform well it won't do his confidence any good.

Hopefully Rangers have forgotten all the things they were called when they signed him :D

Re: Josh Windass
 

I fully expect Crooks to be the player who goes on to play in the English premier league.

Re: Josh Windass
 

That wouldn't surprise me at all dav.

Re: Josh Windass
 

Crooks looked like a class act to me, far too good for Div 2. but he reminded me of John Sheridan. Sheridan was the best player I ever saw outside the top division. But he lacked the speed and presence against better players.

What's your thoughts on Beckles and Matty P? Beckles looks like he could, given time, play at any level. Matty P possibly.

See - they don't always rubbish everything the other one says :D
