Scary Bear Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Scan on Thomson's knee are inconclusive and may require surgery. Deary me. Another 7th place season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Another 7th place season? If we're lucky. Going by how many games we win without Thomson, we'll be looking at winning games to save ourselves once he's back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It's ridiculous. I appreciate every club has injuries, but we do seem to rack up a huge amount. Maybe it's in line with other teams and it just seems more, but it blights us every single season. If it can be done, then David Bates really needs recalled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to recall him now I'd imagine.. You can't recall him for the first month but after that, as long as it's in the agreement, then we should be able to.I would also think it's ridiculously stupid if a potential recall isn't in the contract as he's our only other player with any experience at RB. I suppose we could play Dave McKay on Saturday. Do we really want to throw a Youngster in that has no first team experience yet though..? It does, probably mean we'll lose Jordan Thomson( which will also be a massive loss) though as it seemed to me, that it was a swap loan deal at the time.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Clocks haven't even went back yet either. Worrying. On another note I wonder if we recalled Bates that they'd want Thompson back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's right what you say about not being able to recall player in the first month, he wouldn't be able to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing much? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the topic of youngsters, we have a Scottish Youth Cup second round tie away to Hamilton tonight and a rearranged Development game away to Alloa on Monday night so the pool of players available is very shallow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahoorsir Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I kind of hate myself for suggesting this but a short term solution to our right back problem might be Jordan McMillan, unless he's got a club and I've missed it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I had a dream last night that we signed him, hands off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 That we have a squad the size we do and no cover at full back at all is a management decision. A short-sighted one which has unfortunately put us in difficulty. Can we recall Bates and send Roberts back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In March 2013, McMillan joined Scottish First Division side Partick Thistle and became part of their title winning team. He was released from his contract with Partick Thistle in February 2015 following his failed drugs test. He was subsequently banned from all competitive sport for two years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the length of his ban was reduced and he's now free to sign for a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reduced by a couple of months or something. I think he's free to return sometime in October. He's been at a few of our home games this season as he's a close friend of Derek Lyle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well isn't that just so surprising. 6 minutes ago, Zen Archer said: The club might want to distance themselves from him given his form. He's already served his punishment? Guaranteed if he signed and put in the performances not a single supporter of any club in this division would care, as long as he played well for their team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
