Valentino Bolognese Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) 9 minutes ago, The Real Saints said: Good line-up for us. When Tanser's fit, I'd prefer him over Booth but it's maybe best to exercise a bit of caution ahead of the cup final. I'm very happy with it but would have wanted to see Tanser on for set pieces, with such a depleted defence you'd be hoping we would able to win fouls in good positions. Surely he will have to come on to get game time. Ditto Conway. And Muzz of course. Edited February 20, 2021 by Valentino Bolognese 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably just bad joojoo but so many injuries and illnesses and suspensions all at the same time. Like to hear what Alexander will be saying pre match as Campbell and OHara missing has come from nowhere ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know this for certain obviously and I have nothing to back up that belief, it just seems a strange situation and a little bit on the convenient side, especially with the timing. If I’m proved wrong then I’ll hold my hands up but as I said I don’t think we’ll see him in C&A again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Killie were weakened when we played them a few weeks ago and you felt at the time that you have to take advantage of these situations. We did, although rather unconventionally after going two goals down. Same applies today, the league being the way it is, you need to make the most of opportunities when injuries strike an opponent. Other than maybe young Johnston af full back, Motherwell have a team of first team players out but not facing Campbell, Gallagher, O'Donnell etc... is gift you need to take. In saying that, they have arguably their starting front three available and from their point of view, a win is massive psychologically and they'll be using that as motivation. For our players, a few of them have this last chance to put themselves in contention for a starting place next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about his contract extension was a lot of shite though - so he'll be here until the end of the season and no longer - so it's not convenient for anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them playing a inexperienced 17yo v Wotherspoon in the form of his life, while simultaneously playing Lamie + Kid v Melamed + Kane means we should create chances. Absolutely certain we'll lose this to a Lamie header after 3 minutes. 87 minutes of us creating nothing afterwards. Need a quick start. Its harsh as f**k but just pile players at Johnston in the first 20 minutes, it either makes him or breaks him, but its not our problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not atall haha, I just think the situation is strange. He’s linked with a move away before the window closes, then rumours(which could of course be a lot of shite) surface that one more appearance triggers a contract extension, the window shuts, he remains at the club and all of a sudden he is injured. Then a week becomes two, two becomes four and still no sign. Like I say, it all seems a bit convenient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player being optimistic about his return date is nothing new. Nobody benefits from a player sitting out his contract, not the player, not the club, not the national team, not any team considering signing a malcontent. It’s nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
