Homer Thompson Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Didn't believe headline in today's sun GIVE ME JOB NOW OR I QUIT! After listening to James Fowler the last couple of weeks don't believe he would say such a thing, maybe tongue in cheek. That was my first impression. A tongue in cheek comment being portrayed another way by whoever edited the article and wrote the headline. Pretty poor journalism 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 That is possibly the least likely Jim Fowler quote of all time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustafa_sheet Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The sun is the most detestable excuse of a newspaper and anyone who buys or reads it is a moron. That's quite a statement.

Mustafa_sheet Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Will the Hearts game be "all ticket"? I'm guessing it will be the same ticketing arrangements as yesterday's match v Hibs. Although I do expect Hearts to bring double what Hibs brought which will easily be accommodated in half the new stand and the Terregles terracing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 2 players returning from injury playing for reserves on Tuesday, I'd imagine one will be kerr It will be great to have the so called senior players back, whoever they are to strenghten the squad. But based on how everyone is playing at the moment apart from a straight swap of Kerr for Fowler I wouldn't expect any of the others to come back into the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on how everyone is playing at the moment apart from a straight swap of Kerr for Fowler I wouldn't expect any of the others to come back into the team. That opens a question. If everyone was suddenly, magically available, who would we field? I'd assume that Mitchell would return at right back, but who knows? McIntyre left him out plenty when fit. As for midfield, McKenna once seemed to be about our least dispensable player, so I'd see him returning, but Paton, Burns and Kerr were never guaranteed starters, yet neither were Carmichael or Fowler, you'd imagine. It will be interesting if/when we ever have everyone back. I bet I've missed someone dead obvious too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield 53 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Fowler assistant is the key for me. Johnston got Clark I would like to see Fowler get say Danny Lennon or Willie McStay in both have good experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting if/when we ever have everyone back. I bet I've missed someone dead obvious too. That is a good question. If you'd asked it pre-season, Mitchell would have been my first pick back into the team. However, Dowie has done really well at right back. Obviously, he isnt anywhere near the level of Mitchell going forward but he's much, much better defensively. Im not sure I'd bring any of the injured players straight in. Fowler and McShane are working well in the centre of midfield. Carmichael is in some excellent form and Russell, even when he isnt playing well, has that unpredictability and quality that means you cant really leave him out. There are two key things, for me, in getting some of the injured players back. Firstly, options off the bench. Im convinced we'd have taken something from the game at Ibrox if we' had a stronger bench. Secondly, is competition. As has been said elsewhere, the team picks itself at the moment. That isnt good for the players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'd assume that Mitchell would return at right back, but who knows? McIntyre left him out plenty when fit. He left him out of four games last Sept/Oct when he was well out of form and like most of the rest of the first choice team he was rested against Cowdenbeath ahead of the playoffs.Its not what I would describe as "plenty". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isnt good for the players Agree with this entirely. We have been fortunate to avoid minor injuries and suspensions to others so far (McShane and Fowler at Ibrox excepted) but we are stretched at the moment and we have used the same three subs in pretty much every game since Baird came back. Genuine competition is limited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked, if you recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell started last season a shadow of his usual self, probably off the back off his season ending groin surgery the previous season. He deserved to be dropped at the time and McGuffie played well when he came in. That one month apart McIntyre never left Mitchell out of the team.And it still isnt "plenty" regardless of the reasons.

He deserved to be dropped at the time and McGuffie played well when he came in. That one month apart McIntyre never left Mitchell out of the team. And it still isnt "plenty" regardless of the reasons. As I remember, he had a poor game or two and paid a big price, as did Durnan for getting sent off. McGuffie struggled and our fortunes improved when he found a novel way to take himself out of the reckoning. Several players were allowed many more poor outings than Mitchell ever was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
