How bloody good is he?! What a fantastic signing. Just watched the whole 90 v Brum and the bloke is everywhere; fabulous skill, always positive, takes on and beats players and sets up attack after attack. Great at corners as well. Oh it's so good not having to watch Luongo being by-passed in midfield!
What a great shopping trolley for Olly this January window has been. Smith is the perfect target man as well, and together they have added what this team was desperately lacking - focus, power and precision. So hats off to Olly for dropping the Aussie. And then's there's Washington - he looks a new player under Olly - so fair play to all of you who said Conor just needed the right man to play off in a front two - now he's got one and look at the difference. I'm eating humble pie over this, as I thought Conor couldn't step up at this level. He's proved me wrong. But we've also got to say he was one that JFH got right.
All in all that was a fantastic team performance, and I'm personally really glad to see Furlong back in the starting 11. He was my pick over Perch as I think he brings more to the game in terms of pace and precision - Perch always looks lackadaisical to me. Manning is also an absolute gem in midfield. Lynch is a monster at the back, Hall is so composed and the Chief does the basics just right. In Pawel we have a proper, pacy winger, exactly what we've wanted for seasons. Bidwell is better in a flat back four I think, but he was constantly getting forward yesterday and putting in crosses. And then there's the sublime Alex Smithies. At last, everything is starting to tick.
I've said for me the jury's been out for Olly, but if he can start to replicate these performance at home, he's got my vote. I know people love to banter about all this, but bottom line, we all want the same thing, and if we really do see the turnaround at home as well, I think we'll all be happy clappers on here.
Onwards and upwards Rangers! You Rs!
