You're not as good as you think you are and should be concentrating on your football instead of making ridiculous comments to the press.

Oh, cut out the chipped shots/penalties too please.

A hat-trick on Saturday (if you start) would be great though. Thanks.

How many goals would Keatings have gotten?

The problem is, with the sitters he missed, it should be about 60.

The issue is the amount of great chances he misses. A decent striker would probably have had more than 40 with the chances that Cummings misses.

I'd prefer Keatings up front on Saturday.

If Keatings had played every game this season, would he have over 40 goals? I doubt that he would have scored as many as Cummings.

Jason isn't a poor striker, he's just predatory. He picks up on mistakes, or the spaces others make for him, but he rarely makes chances for himself.

We need to bring in a more intelligent striker against Raith at home - probably Keatings.

Not necessarily. Sometimes you need to try what is more difficult in order to keep it away from the keeper, and therefore take more risk that it won't even end up on target. An (extreme) example.. I''d prefer someone on the edge of the box to put their laces through the ball and perhaps it goes slightly over the bar or wide, rather than side footing it slowly along the ground straight into the keeper's hands... but ultimately 'on target'.

The best strikers don't simply make sure their shots are on target.

Having said that, Cummings' finish was weak last night. However, to suggest he is not a good striker because he's also missed chances on top of the 40 odd he's scored for us is daft. Why do you think it is generally him who finds himself on the end of our chances.. and more often than not, scores them?

let's at least give it until Saturday before the ludicrous arguments amongst each other take-off. Win the 90 mins at home and we're at least going to extra time. Far from ideal, and last night wasn't good enough, but it's where we are and we've still a great chance of progressing.

40 odd goals in 2 seasons God knows where we would b if it wasn't for this goals

I see this point made a lot - that its ok for a forward to 'just' score goals.

Genuine question. Is it OK for a defender to just win tackles and head the ball away? Or do you expect Hanlon et al to also have something of an all round game i.e. being able to contribute to the wider team, and not just 'do their job'?

Likewise a midfield player - do you expect Henderson to work back and put in some graft or just create? Do you expect Fyvie or Bartly to just win the ball and fill space, or also contribute?

Cummings does score goals (in the lower tier), but he should be doing more and contributing to the team in other ways (winning headers, holding the ball up, threatening in behind, linking up with team mates etc) - it is quite obvious he doesnt do that nearly well enough.

Also, he fails in his job quite often. I can think of Dundee Utd, Raith away (x2), Morton at home, Huns away at start of season where he has missed very easy chances to score, and it has cost us very dearly. If a centre half had given away goals in each of these games in a glaring way, they would be crucified.

I doubt keatings would have scored more keatings last played the last 3 seasons in this league and only scored 35 league goals. Youve got to remember he's only 20 and still learning.

If a striker just scores goals, a lot of goals, then yes that's enough. If a defender just wins tackles and gets the ball away, yep that's enough for me too.

As for you "lower tier" comment, let's just ignore Cummings record of 9 in 13 games against SPL teams + Rangers this season. They were probably all flukes anyway eh. :aok:

hes 20 year old still learning if he could do all that right now do you honestly think he still b here? Of course he misses chances but him keatings and stokes are the only ones that get in those positions seriously when was the last time a midfielder scored?

If the defence could just there job and stop letting in silly would b good enough for me.

No, not flukes at all. But Rangers are lower tier.

His goal against Aberdeen was great, and the goal against Hearts (first leg) was one of the best headers i've ever seen. I'm not saying he doesn't have talent. I'm questioning whether, overall, he's a good enough player to contribute to an effective attacking team. The problem with relying on one player to score a very high percentage of goals is there to see. When he misses, we struggle.

Hearts had about five players who regularly scored last season, and Rangers have had lots this season. We have two, with Keatings off the bench. And this is with a supposedly attacking manager.

Also, overall just scoring goals isnt enough. He's on the cusp of being dropped from the third best team in Scotland's second tier as it stands. If he steps-up a level, he will be under more scrutiny and asked to contribute more. Time will tell i suppose.

Rangers are a better side than a lot of SPL teams, so I'm grouping them with SPL teams. I think that's fair enough.

As for the bit in bold...that's no Cummings fault.

Goal scoring is enough. We're no Barcelona or Bayern Munich who have everyone capable of doing everything on the park. If we have a striker who just scores goals, that's plenty. If we have a striker who doesn't score many goals, but links up the middle of the park to the final third really well, then that can be enough too. Or if the striker doesn't score many goals but is a good target man, that can be enough too. If we had a striker who scored goals and did the link up play and is a good target man as well, we'd no have him for very long, cos he'd be too good for us. If you expect that from Cummings, at his age as well, then you're expectations need managed, in my opinion.

I suppose the question i am asking is, is it partly his fault? A lot of out attacking play suffers when he gets involved, so is he hampering us being a better attacking team?

Our two biggest wins at home have come minus him. That strikes me as odd.

The ball sat up high and the lob was the only option but unfortunately it was just too high. I watched him score with a similar lob in the league game there earlier in the season but these occasions are conveniently forgotten about.

That's cleared it up then we don't know if his comments had any influence.

OK if you say so. No big deal.

Although the previous poster said, and I quote:

"What Jason said had no bearing on how Raith played."

I simply asked how he knew that.

How do you know that?

Common sense. That sort of talk sells papers, nothing else.

I like his arrogance to a degree (penalty v DU aside) but he does play for himself and not the team. However, on watching the highlights of the RR game again- I think he did the right thing with his best chance - the ball was bouncing and the keeper was off his line - it just didn`t go for him.

Aye, I agree with you. :agree:

We shouldn't slaughter a striker for missing chances, if he starts worrying about missing, he'll stop scoring.

It also (IMO) wasn't a sitter. Couldve done so much better with it as he does have the ability, ("touch of an angel!") ....., but wasn't a sitter.

Not got a problem with cummings coming out with the stuff he does, he has scored a load of goals but we need others to chip in, strikers will never take all their chances, if our midfield started chipping in with some goals we wouldnt be in this position

The only question is ...does he play for the shirt? And you have to say yes, given his celebrations...strikers score, strikers miss, but as long as they have the passion for us as a Club, I support them 100%. Jason has the passion...and will score in the Cup Final I am sure...and hopefully many times in the lead up and play offs.

Cummings from the bench, sharp and hungry will score tomorrow.

Agree with the chance. Timed the lob nicely but just had a bit much on it. Touch of an elephant.

Agree - but I don't think it'll be from the bench.

Back on topic - I don't buy the paper, but a boy at work had the Sun open at lunchtime and there is a massive article slagging off Hibs, quotes from the raith manager about pressure on hibs etc.

I don't imagine for a minute that the Raith Forum (if one exists) is tying itself up in knots about it.

Its for that reason that I have zero problem with JC saying whatever he wants in the press. I fully expect us to come through tomorrow and certainly hope that JC scores the winner, just so he can go :na na: to all the haters.

No probs EG. :thumbsup:

Jason is a young lad still learning his trade as a footballer, he will miss chances just like he will score a good number as well, he will eventually learn to be more sensible when giving interviews but right now at his age he is enjoying his football and will have wee moments of madness when in front of the cameras or giving a story to the press, you really don't want to take some of that silliness away from him as I think that's where he gets his confidence from, and he seems to have it in abundance which is a good thing, some folk are being very harsh on him on here and some of the stuff posted about him on match day threads are way over the top, strikers won't score every chance they have, but when the lad misses some opportunities in games he gets dogs abuse from some, even the best strikers in football miss easy chances but they bounce back and go again, Jason is getting there, his penalty dink he misses, but is full of confidence to take another one when it came to penalties and put it away against Utd, that takes a lot of bottle, some players would not put there hand up to take another one after the dink, but he was confident enough to walk up and bang his penalty in to the back of the net.
