callum-ayr Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Murdoch ruptured his ACL, would reckon that's his season done. Dempsey a tear in his meniscus so probably about 3 months. Murphy 3-4 weeks from a contact injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Ruptured ACL is shite. Meniscus tear is less shite but still not great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so good but now confirms we need at least one quality Midfielder but probably two or we could have problems. The highlights from yesterday, the things that stand out is that McGeady looks brilliant, Chalmers is class but we're lacking the final part when we get in front of goal. McGeady also looks like he can play as the link man just behind the striker which would then accommodate at least two of Murphy, Chalmers and Amartey which looks like it could be amazing to watch. The other glaringly obvious take is that the Right back area is going to cause us SERIOUS issues throughout the season unless it's addressed as a major priority. Nick's a nice guy and gives 100% for the jersey but he's just nowhere near good enough to be starting at RB and surely everyone must know this. The bottom line is that we need a RB, a CM and another striker although I'm certainly not writing off Rose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priority a CM, can't see us getting 2 with Dempsey maybe back for November and another striker. Still think Ahui can come good at right back and looks like it'll be Reading with Ecrepont as emergency cover. That's the cards we're being dealt so just have to go with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Gutted for Murdoch particularly, hopefully we see him again before the end of the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we'll pick up a centre back when the winter window opens for cover (AFCON) and that'll be us unless there's drastic loss of form or injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Ahui will get a chance against Falkirk but if he doesn't take it then the top priority has to be a RB as we simply can't go in to the season with no RB and no RB cover unless we're going to stick either Musonda or Stanger out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 There must be an insurance that clubs take out for precisely this situation. My employer has it where if I am off for an extended period of time, I receive a full wage and they can hire a temporary replacement. Is this a thing in football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look more closely. He reacts to the first effort, which McGinty blocks. The ball then bounces off the Livingston player, leaving Mutch with little chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 right backs. Going into January, we will only have 2 centre halves. Whether you believe they are competent or not doesn't matter, we can't let Musonda go away on international duty with no cover whatsoever. We won't sign another right back, we can just hope now Ahui is bedded in properly he can come on to a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have definitely had a great start to the season and anyone beating the Two Cheeks is a plus.

muZZa__44 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Yeah he had the same injury in the 19/20 season and was gone rest of the season so likely that’s him done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
