    It's my view that the only way we win the league is with Crosas calling the plays from deep midfield, protected by Brown and Caldwell. With weather and pitches improving, it's our best chance.Thoughts ?

    I don't think that's our only option. Crosas may be a good addition to the squad, but we can win without him.

    We are capable of winning the league without crosas , but we could give ourself a * of a lot of a better chance playing him more consistently along with brown

    He's been playing a few reserve games and has played the odd game here and there over the last couple of weeks so i expect him to start against st.mirren

    He's been playing for the reserves so I'd imagine he'd be nearing match fitness. He actually scored a good volley for the reserves in the past week.

    Wouldnt want to see Caldwell play in CM all the time. Although he has looked good the majority of the time would prefer he was at CH so we can try and shore up the defence (and also because I think Loovens is a cart horse!!).

    Personally I would be telling Aiden McGeady that now is your chance. Players have wonder seasons. It has happened in the past. You think that you are great and teh best player we have avaliable. Now go and prove it.

    That would also need the team to help out by showing for the ball when he gets it and not just standing back and waiting for something to happen.

    Would play Crosas in the middle with Brown. Then when Robson hopefully comes back play him. Cant help but feel that Robson and Brown would be a dynamite combination!!

    Capable of winning without Crosas? The run in will require more than the desire, energy and good fortune of last season. We face a determined Rangers who can match (probably surpass ) us in all these departments so Flood and Hartley etc.. won't get it done. If he stays fit, the quality Crosas has could edge it for us. Quality w

    At this stage of the season you need a bit of dig in midfield , where just going through a bad spell but things should get back to normal , so yes we can win the league without crosas , the player we cannot afford to lose just now is mcdonald , without him i doubt we would win the title

    mcdonald is a given. The manager will play him regardless, and i'm all for that. There is, however, some debate over midfield and that's my point.Als, refs will feel they 'owe' rangers the title.

    Dont see where this dig in midfield has got us this season.Robson was shocking against ICT and at different times this season Hartley has been very quiet.Brown was at his best when Crosas was with him earlier on so WGS should play the two of them and let us get some momentum.
