Irrespective if this is a new injury or an aggravation the recovery times for our players are pretty horrendous. Second Go Auchenhowie as a whole is starting to raise concerns. I might well be wrong, but I sense a lack of leadership and collective purpose throughout. Leadership that Gerrard had in spades until he seemed to mentally drift in summer 2021. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 5,186 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62338836 Just found this fancy layout !! Sands suspended Not many options in the middle if Jack is out. If he is declared fit, I'll put a fiver on him being taken off by or at HT. Kamara in from the cold or McCann Is Davies ready for a full game ? If Leon King were to come in and have a good game, he'd instantly be worth more than we paid for Davies. Arfield won't last a full game at the pace this game will need. Will Steve Davis ? Even with the players that are available tonight, too many who have to be constantly managed in terms of minutes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing about it is you could see it coming. What the actual F were we thinking about in putting together a squad for this season? If it was about saving money, it is going to end up having the opposite effect. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lawrence injury is just plain bad luck but everything else has been standard last few years. The players who need minutes managed could be our entire midfield bar Lundstram at this point which is madness. I'm still not convinced Tillman can play Wed/Sat every week. Shame they scrapped the tennents sixes we might have enough bodies to win that 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Yes, it's going to be difficult tonight but I'm hoping the players see it as an opportunity to achieve rather than anything else. It's a free hit but the application and effort must be there. I think the XI will be along the following lines. It wouldn't surprise me to see us move to a three at the back which may allow someone like Arfield or Tillman more scope to support the striker. Anyone's guess if that will be Colak or Morelos. In midfield, Kamara has been so poor this season but fitness of Jack uncertain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his effort is great, but his finishing not so much. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy enough for Matondo to play but I think Arfield's experience and ability to look after his defensive duties might count better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win Frankie. I find it hard to disagree with a man who looks like the great Ludovico Einaudi 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
