Gifton backs misfiring Kenwyne Jones.

Gifton backs misfiring Kenwyne Jones.



Gifton Noel-Williams feels his new strike-partner Kenwyne Jones will become a better player - thanks to advice from himself and other players at the club.
The Trinidad and Tobago International made an instant impact on the side when he scored on his debut against Millwall last month, but has failed to find the net since.
But Noel-Williams thinks the 20-year-old, on a month's loan from Southampton, is resilient enough and talented enough to silence any critics.
Gifton said: "People have said that he's come into the side and look's up to players like me and wants to learn off me and the other lads.
"It's nice that I can pass on what I know onto someone else but whether they take it on or whether it suits them, that is something else.
"I've told him a few pointers which I was told when I was younger and hopefully he'll take it on board and it'll make him a better player.
"Kenwyne's got a lot of energy and he's a good player.
"He's got quite a similar build to me and he likes to run with the ball and we're trying to mix it up a bit in games."
He added: "There's been a bit of pressure on him because of how he performed at Sheffield Wednesday and he did really well there.
"So coming into the Championship is another step-up and it's another step-up physically, mentally and tactically.
"But I think the more games he's plays here the better he'll get and the goals will come."

Keeps the faith says Marvin Andrews.

Marvin Andrews would gladly have swapped his man-of-the-match award for three points last weekend, but admits that conceding the late equaliser has only made Rangers more determined to bounce back against Dundee on Sunday.
The towering centre half is one of the Light Blue's top performers this season and was once again a stand out at the back for Alex McLeish's men against Inverness Caley Thistle.
His commanding displays are a real inspiration to the rest of the players and although last Saturday's result was a setback in Gers title challenge Marvin is still positive.
The Trinidad and Tobago internationalist always looks on the bright side and remains confident that the championship will be back at Ibrox in May.
Andrews said: "I know we dropped two points last weekend but there are still lots of games left this season.
"A lot of people are worried that we drew that game but I think we have to stay calm and focused.
"I for one am not worried because God is in control, we are still top of the league and he will take us all the way through.
"Of course I'd have rather won the game than my man-of-the-match award because it's a team effort and everyone worked hard against Inverness Caley Thistle.
"But things didn't end the way we wanted and we conceded a late goal, which was very disappointing.
"There was a wee mishap between Gregory and Soti and that led to them having the chance to score.
"But this is what happens in football. We have been playing well recently and shouldn't let this result get us too down."
