Chinatoon Bairn Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Quote Paul Hartley confirming that Tom Taiwo’s injury was not as serious as first feared and that the midfielder is in with a chance of being fit in time for tomorrow’s clash.

All you need. He's improved then, anything more than 2 feet away went in the wrong direction with us. He would often turn our breakaways into an attack for the opposition with his control.

Stephen Malkmus Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Love how John Baird still has the Falkirk fans flapping around like Jamie MacDonald after a Marley Watkins trundler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 If we play John Baird as a central midfielders and still somehow beat Falkirk, they should liquidate their club out of shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Been reading Paul Hartley’s thoughts on the game tomorrow and his reflections on the 4-1 defeat and it’s really refreshing to see the honestly. Pretty much, hands up - I got it wrong:“I think going into the last Inverness fixture after beating Dundee United 6-1 I had the thought in my head to keep the same team, but when I looked back at it after the game I probably should have made a couple of changes because of the energy levels that we had used in the game previous. It’s something that I will look at in the future because I probably should have changed it – some of the players looked exhausted that night because they hadn’t played a lot of football. “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the same team/tactics for 2 different games is exactly what Yogi did in 2005 and he also got smashed. At least Yogi was learning in those days.

Harry Kinnear Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Most managers would keep the same starting line up after the way we played against United.Players want to play, imagine how you would feel being dropped after putting in a performance like they did that day.

ICTChris Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Robertson in the P&J saying that we might have to play youth players given our injury and suspension worries. He made the point that Hearts have blooded the likes of Harry Cochrane this season and they’ve done well. That’s fair enough but if we had young players as good as that I’d have expected them to feature in the bench or maybe even as a sub, none of the guys coming in have even done that. Earlier in the season we played short benches rather than blood young players.Not looking particularly good, we will see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Baptie Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 This is a game (going by the ICT fans perspective) that we should be bossing the midfield. Win the midfield battle and I’m sure we’ll win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorogood's destroyers Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Vigurs & Polworth suspended, Trafford struggling, Doran artificial surface maybe a no no, Mulraney & Austin revovering from strains, Tremarco out for a couple of months.

There's probably more. So a quite a few out. Most teams suffer during a season with injuries to key players. I'm not getting to confident as we have yet to find consistency and Robbo may be exageratting a wee bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably more. Probably not but they may well be on the bench which gives us little option for change. Mulraney and Austin were on the bench last time out so must be near fit. Trafford has head knock and sickness, Doran might be risked but there's no excuse for Vigurs and Polworth who have quickly amassed too many petty and cynical bookings amongst the incompetent refereeing ones.
