Legally you no longer need to self-isolate at all, but I think football is still doing 7 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoDevilovich Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Maybe shouldn't have started this thread. Everyone seems to be taking knocks since the rearranged date, was confirmed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Tierney, Patterson, Marshall, O'Donnell, Nisbet, Souttar, Halkett and Fraser are injured with a month to go. Which is about normal to be honest for a squad - so I wouldn't feel too down about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan8472 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Hopefully they all recover , but... McKenna for Tierney. Cooper and Hanley the other centre backs ? Hickey RWB ! ( how fit are James Forrest and a , grovelling required , Ryan Fraser ? ) Jacob Brown for Nisbet !?

Moonhound17 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I'm beginning to get more comfortable with the idea of Robertson at LCB and Hickey at LWB in the event of no Tierney. If Clarke goes along those lines, he's more likely to pick Taylor at LWB I think. RWB sounds an issue though if neither SOD or Patterson are fit. Fraser at RWB? Recall Liam Palmer?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have good options. I wonder how much emphasis will be placed on fitting within the system. To ask a player to come into a new system with new team-mates and minimal training time seems like it might be asking too much and so I wouldn't be surprised if we just saw Fraser and Cooper or McKenna replace the injured guys in those departments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhound17 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Has Robertson played LCB , ever ? Paul McGinn at RWB ?!Don't think he has, but I'm thinking along the lines of the Tierney/Robertson switching of positions in a game, Robertson must spend a decent portion of each game at LCB?McGinn is a decent shout actually. Better then recalling Palmer. Don't think Calvin Ramsay is ready? Could be mistaken there of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Paul McGinn is not going to start the play-off game at RWB unless we have about another 30 injuries. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 And to add to the above - Robertson isn't going to play centre back unless we have about 30 injuries in that position too. The absolute state of some of these shouts as we go into our biggest match of the campaign 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There does not need to be another 30 injuries , just enough for us to have a crisis at RWB ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It's looks pretty straight forward to me - I think things look like this at the moment. The interesting choice for me is more Ryan Christie or Lyndon Dykes - Christie seems to be just ahead but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Lyndon Dykes started against Ukraine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie has started the last few games because Dykes was ineligible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My basis for this view assumes Kieran Tierney won't be available for the game. Liam Cooper/Scott McKenna won't replace the attacking role KT performs and to make up for that loss I think Ryan Christie will be required to support Andrew Robertson and Callum McGregor with attacks on the left. Additionally, In the Poland game with an attacking left side including Tierney, Taylor, McGregor and Christie we saw Kieran Tierney make significantly less runs into and crosses from advanced positions on the field and play a role that could be performed by Liam Cooper or Scott McKenna Finally, the last time this situation occurred Steve Clarke selected Ryan Christie alongside Liam Cooper, Stuart Armstrong and Andrew Robertson against the Czech Republic in Euro 2020.

2426255 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Liam Cooper and Kenny McLean were both due to start but unfortunately withdrew during their respective warmups. https://twitter.com/NorwichCityFC/status/1520402507603886080?s=20&t=W58seDOSNH-Tcc8Rs9EW0A https://twitter.com/LUFC/status/1520437141448364033?s=20&t=7yDWvWFlConBbqga3dUy6A 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
