LIVIFOREVER Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Any chance of Raffa playing on Sunday? Hopefully Menga will be fit too, Hardie will be out against his parent club but if Menga starts and Raffa comes on around the 65th minute then I think we'd have a good attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought rafa might be back on the bench on Sunday and then again tonight, maybe he’s had a set-back or we’re just being extra careful with him. Does anyone know if he played with the reserves this week? Thought sibbald put some outstanding deliveries into the box today but nobody was really close to getting on the end of them. Thought it was pretty wasteful. One of our biggest strengths early on in the season was set pieces but I don’t think we’ve scored from one since the home game against Dundee? Would be good to get back to scoring from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thought we might have him on the bench tonight too but Keaghan was dropped to the bench, presumably saving him for Sunday's game against Sevco so maybe Raffa is just being kept for that game too, scored in a reserve game last week so can't be far away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogieLivi Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Found it a little unusual that Pitts was subbed last night. Can't even remember the last time that happened? Certainly not since league 1??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not since league 1??? I think he picked up a knock in the challenge with Shaughnessy which lead to Halkett's free kick. He went down near the half way line a short while later. He carried on for a while so I don't think it was anything serious but his influence definitely diminished after that challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livilion28 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Don’t think pitts had great game last night but your correct I can’t remember him getting subbed much. Still worked hard and gave everything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Gutted to lose that one last night. Quite similar to the Hearts game in that we had a decent bit of possession but did work the 'keeper enough. Really fine margins in these games and, so far, it looks like the difference between us sneaking into the top 6.

LiviLion Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Jack Hamilton off out on loan to Alloa and Henk van Schaik out on loan to Dumbarton. Makes sense for both of them tbh, both should get a good bit more game time now rather than just playing reserve football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 What kind of player should we expect in big Henk? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, he’s played 1 minute of first team football when he came on at the end of the Celtic game. I’ve seen him a few times for the reserves and he’s been solid, comfortable on the ball and is a big lad but it’s an extremely poor level so difficult to judge. Hopefully does you a turn and shows he has potential to come back to us and break into the first team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, sounds fairly inexperienced but he'd need to be seriously bad to be any worse than king jobber Andy Dowie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpire Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Excited about Hamilton - think he could be good next season. Glad he's away to get regular games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It'll be tough for both of them. The championship is a difficult league, but it's a good move for Hamilton. He's got the potential to do well there if he can get a run of games. Henk could be outstanding or a disaster for Dumbarton. Both of them have a lot of potential, and both moves will hopefully work out to be great for everyone involved. We've got to be looking to bring in someone up top now surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I would imagine, or would be very hopeful that we’re bringing someone else in up front. Good chance to get a fair whack of game time for them both and come back next season into the first team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Agree with all the comments. Tough challenges for both players, I hope they do well. Think we're down to 23 first team players now which is a bit lighter than previously. Most concerningly for me is the defensive situation given we do have some good attacking players to come back. Presumably Menga is looking good for Sunday. Edited January 24, 2019 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'd imagine we're confident of Halkett staying past January with Henk and McMillan moving out on loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Really leaves us short in the forward area again, even with Miller and Raffa back I still feel we’d be one light. The club must have someone lined up to come in letting Hamilton go, the question is who ? I’ve not heard any rumours so there is nothing in this at all other than they could be realistic targets... Craig Wighton on loan from Hearts, Oli Shaw from Hibs if they look to bring in someome else, another loan from Cardiff, then the rumours about the lad Henderson that went around a few weeks ago, Kris Boyd ? Any other names anyone wants to throw in ? Edited January 24, 2019 by andylivi1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'd take Lukaku from Man Utd, he's not getting much football with Rashford in the form he's in, could prob make a decent challenge to our starting eleven though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
