Gallus Numpty Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 How many have we scored in the last 567 minutes that he hasn't been on the pitch? Probably not a great deal more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I've probably said similar but I feel bad slating White as his lack of goals isn't for want of trying - he's just not good enough for this level. Contrast that with the likes of Long who is good enough but blatantly can't be arsed and I know where I'm directing my anger.Someone touched on it the other day but our subs have played a major factor in where we currently find ourselves. Most teams can make subs which allows them to change tactics or see a game out. Our subs are simply not good enough for that - we bring on the likes of White who's a striker who can't score or Lamie who's a defender who can't defend and they only serve to weaken the team which then costs us a result. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the sketch with Long? Is he injured? The injury page on the website hasn't been updated for a while and only mentions Donnelly, Dunne and Fox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both those points are 100% spot on. What's interested me recently is the lack of subs being used. Easy enough to say "well, they wouldn't make much difference" but Seedorf would surely have been a more obvious switch for Hastie rather than White. I'm by no means banging a drum for the bold Sherwin to be playing but he's been an unused sub a fair bit, same with McGinley (who seemed to disappear after the Hibs game). If we've got guys sitting on the bench that we either don't trust or don't think than make an impact then that's a problem. I mean, this is Seedorf's league season to date, that's 25 mins of league fitba' since August: McGinley: 2 minutes ago, Pettigrew said: What's the sketch with Long? Is he injured?

He took a dunt against St Mirren and was subbed off IIRC but any updates about him have been extra vague. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows that Robbo didn’t trust them considering how jobby we’ve been at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, that information popped up on his IG in the summer shortly before he re-signed (before I unfollowed him) and I've kind of wondered whether it may have played a part in him just generally seeming unsettled since he arrived back if his missus has been back on Merseyside but I'm pretty sure we've given an undefined "injured" explanation for his absence over the past while. Here's Robinson before the Rangers game: "Chris Long will miss out. He's our only injury, he'll miss out."

Contrast that with the likes of Long who is good enough but blatantly can't be arsed and I know where I'm directing my anger. I've probably said it on here before but Ryan Bowman's my best example of this. He was absolutely mince at fitba. No ability but he absolutely knocked his pan in on the park so I couldn't be angry at him. Long's shown on a number of occasions that he's more than capable of playing at this level. However he blatantly cannot be arsed now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Long is one of those players who I hoped would maybe be reinvigorated under Alexander. Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely no excuse or justification for performing for one manager and not another (especially to the extent of his disinterest so far this season) but whilst we are paying his wage and he's probably going to find it even harder now to get a move than he did in the summer when he came back with his tail between his legs, we might as well get our money's worth as 2019/20 Long is certainly a player we could use about now. Either way, I'd cut all ties in the summer regardless of how he performs between now and then.
