This, but with Remi Matthews. For somebody who’ll be remembered for being a nice guy rather than anything on the pitch, his name’s been mentioned too often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Positive they've managed to move pretty quickly on a goalkeeper. Hopefully a sign they are building a database of players. To lose two goalkeepers to breaks just about sums up our luck at the moment. The manager is remaining calm and positive and the club seem to be doing all they can to back him though. Will the support do the same? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering some post match comments I’ve seen he may have an uphill battle with some already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 There's quite a few fans already over the hill and into full blown meltdown panic mode already. I read wap the other day. Talks of the manager should look to get rid of Gallagher, Carey, Mcgowan, Max and basically anyone else who was here last season and start again. like that's a actually a viable suggestion . Few saying he should be sacked etc already online as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite part of the banto over the last 6 weeks has been that one fan who’s raging Stevie May is still at the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cracks me up. It's the fitness experts that make me laugh. 5 stone over weight guys with their great ideas to solve the injuries. Comments of "they're training too hard" "the fitness coach clearly doesn't have a clue what he's doing" "the fitness coach should be sacked" etc. They're very keen on the suggestions without the first clue what level or training they're doing or even the a basic idea about the fitness required at that kind of level. A few of them were passing comment on "there's not much hope if that's how tired Gallagher is already" while evidently not having the first clue what a bleep test is and that he was the last player left. Football is about opinions but on subjects like fitness, it's somewhat more complex for obvious reasons than "just train less" and you'll get less injuries.

You’re completely right on the fitness point, but I do think - and am sure they will be - that the club need to look at why we pick up so many muscle injuries compared to other clubs. We can’t be that unlucky surely? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid statement about Sinclair though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t be that unlucky surely? How many are injury prone players though? MacPhersons always been a crock. Clarks injury is one he had a few years before he joined. Kanes been unavailable for the best part of 2 years because he keeps hitting set backs, same with Booth. Sinclairs now had at least 2 surgeries in the last 2 years and seems to have had constant bother with his wrists before that. So thats 5 players you shouldnt be that surprised are out. Wright was run into the ground last season and played while carrying a knock this season so its hardly a shock hes injured too, and you wouldnt say its bad luck. I dunno. It shouldn't be that surprising we have so many injuries and id be surprised if it doesnt haunt us all season with the squad as is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fair points - the majority of the injured ones are quite injury prone but I was thinking back over the last couple of years and seem to remember a whole bunch of muscle injuries and niggles? Most of them probably to the injury prone players right enough Wright probably shouldnt have started Saturday but we’re short on the wings so needs must. Steven is more of a forward but might be able to do a job there this weekend? Unless we change shape and maybe go 433 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 You'd have to think that bringing down average squad age will improve the injury situation over time. Always going to be exceptions of course but in general we should see the benefit. Tempting as it is to noise up Random by suggesting 5-2-3 (although not sure that's a good option with what we have now) the idea of 4-3-3 seems fairly sensible. Same back 4 as Hearts; Smith, McGowan and Phillips in the middle; Carey, May and Jephcott up front. No pace but if Smith's not a ball-carrier (is he?) but likes a tackle and can see a pass it gives us some bite/disruption and hopefully the capability to move the ball up the park a bit quicker than we've been doing for the last few years. If we're intent on playing a high press as McLean says it's pretty important we get the ball out of midfield faster. That our CB's are prone to shelling it over the middle is maybe understandable when we've lacked the ability to move it on the ground with a bit of urgency. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Seen some match stats on twitter which I can't find now that our pass completion last week was something like 49%?! Surely not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That graphic shows you in a nutshell what Cammy Ballantyne doesn't bring to the team. How can a professional midfielder complete 3 passes in virtually 90 minutes, that's criminal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
