Another long term injury from non contact in training (McAvoy) really begins to question if training is too gung ho but I'm not getting into that.

He just went over on his ankle with no one near him ,

Adeloye should be invited to see how fit he is. If Brown thinks he can get him ready soon enough then bring him in if it’s going to be march then cut him loose. I think he and Oakley would absolutely destroy this league if fit. Really gutted for Dowds. Hopefully he re-signs for next year when we are in the prem

Down to the bare bones but this squad still refuses to quit week after week.

Encouragingly, we're still carrying a threat in the attacking third and it's a case of hanging in there and grinding out performances from game to game until we get the majority of the injured players back in the squad.

Right now is when the team really need our backing.

The issue I see with Oakley and Adeloye is I think they are too similar, both aren’t really 90 minute players especially considering how Brown wants his players constantly moving , Oakley can be if he conserves his energy but most times Oakley is getting subbed off  meanwhile Adeloye never has been a runner he would work better playing alongside Dowds then Oakley

I disagree, where we went wrong when Adeloye was here was no one was ever close to him. He is a deadly finisher as seen last season at partick. He was asked to do all the work up top in his time here, play him alongside Oakley he would do absolutely fine. I don’t think they are too similar- remember people said the same with Dowds and Oakley

Doubt it’s the training.  Devlin, Musonda and McAvoy have a track record of injuries so no great surprise they’re had problems.  Dowds is just bad luck.  Doesn’t sound like Rus, Murphy or McMann are particularly long term.  I’ve seen Bavidge 3 times now and he’s shown absolutely nothing. Still time, but we’re probably back to Mark McKenzie.  

Not sure what Brown’s beef with Syla is - added real energy when he came on.  Rowley was woeful and I don’t really get why we wasted a contract on Hastie - he’s at least a yard too slow for the championship.  For all the abuse he gets, McAllister hasn’t put a foot wrong in his last 2 games.  

But in the end, you can’t beat bad luck.  Brown has mostly done well since coming in, but not a lot we can do with the injuries.  Unfortunately the squad players we’ve signed look largely very poor and aren’t going to be able to compensate for the quality we’re missing.

Think you are being overly harsh on bavidge he’s played maybe 100 minutes for us. Don’t think Aberdeen would have him on their books if he was shite. Just needs time to settle in and find his feet at this level.

He’ll get game time that’s for sure.  But that he’s done nothing in his 3 appearances so far is just a statement of fact.  He’s looked lightweight and a bit lost.  I doubt we’ll be bringing in anyone now, so fingers crossed there’s a lot more to his game than he showed yesterday.

Thoughts of the manager and match highlights put up quickly this week thanks to my lad. He and the other young people who are now doing the media are going to take a couple of weeks to settle into this. Be patient with them and hopefully you’ll enjoy what they deliver.

Highlights out before the middle of the week? Tell your lad thank you very much.

Highlights up, can hear the fan shouting "do something" 

 

It was very much a case of 'just do something' for about an hour!

You have to say that the loan moves our players are getting are hugely improved from usual, where it’s generally just the Ayrshire Juniors. 

Four youth academy players out on loan to league teams is excellent, we rarely even managed to get one out on loan previously. I can only really remember McKenzie, Hewitt and Shankland ever doing it.

Big month next month, league games against Falkirk and Livi and staying in the cup. Be good to see how we measure up against them, hope to f**k the injury situation has cleared up a bit by then.

The injury situation clearing up....
