Probably in the minority here but I never really rated Chris Woods. I even keep forgetting he played for us. Maybe it was because it was just slightly before my time of watching Rangers. But whenever I think of Chris Woods, I think of Glasgow Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday. But really never thought there was anything special about him personally. If he was that good he reakky should've replaced Shilton after Mexico '86.
Comfortably my favourite R's player for the last few years. Probably one of the hardest working players I've seen down the R's. Unbelievable fitness levels.
I will absolutely gutted if he goes down or when he eventually leaves the club.
I'm really hoping the Marti factor has made some of our players (Willock!) reconsider leaving the club this summer. I'm hoping they can all see what we could potentially do next season with a full pre-season under Marti.
He's not perfect, (if he was, he wouldn't be a Rangers!) but there'a lot worse out there!!
When was the last time we conceded as little as 57 goals in a season? Or as low as that in general over the last 10 years?
15 teams with a worse defensive record.
13 clean sheets for a relegation threatened side.
I'm neither one way or the other on this to be honest. Just trying to give a balanced point of view where others are really gunning for him which seems a little unfair/OTT to me. If he stayed, would I be bothered/concerned? No not really. If he does go, so be it. I trust the managaer/coaches/club to make the right decision.
If we've become a really solid defensive unit (of which Begs is a part of) since Marti and his coaches have arrived, then imagine how much better we could potentially be next season having had this relativly solid/consistant spell for the last 6 months - not to mention to continuity? Would it be such a terrible thing?
Dieng appears to be a better "footballing" keeper but the stats don't lie. Dieng conceded considerably more than Begs, and I really like Dieng, as do most other fans. So I don't really understand the criticism Begs regularly gets... unless some fans can't see past the Chelsea connections... which is a bit silly considering they're not in the same division as us, so how does it affect what he does for us when he watches them with his family? He's a professional footballer.
Just to put a put a balance here and defend Asmir a bit.
We've conceded 57 goals this season. (Begs is shit!) Last season we conceded 71! (Dieng is great!)
There are also 15 teams (YES, FIFTEEN!) with a worse defencesive record in the Championship than us!!
Bit of context eh? No keeper is completely faultless in a whole season. But Begs has generally been good more times than he's been shit IMO.
If he stayed another year, I wouldn't be too dissapointed. Either way, I trust Marti and the coaches to make the right decision about out keeper more than us fans.
