I think he would look better in a midfield 4 though, diamond with him behind the striker/strikers. We'd be much better playing 4 4 2 either diamond or flat anyway IMO 3 minutes ago, Jack The Flipper said: Why do we always get folk saying it may be a blessing in disguise or he wasn't very good anyway when a player has an injury or whatever? Ok the majority seem to be seeing the truth, but still. It's fucking pathetic that standpoint, he's a good player and if this is true he will definitely be missed. Just like the folk that want to turn Barton into a shit player overnight because it looks like the cunt won't be playing for us again. Some folk just love living with their heed in the sand and keeping up appearances, is it truly difficult being honest? It means the manager is forced to try something else as for me this year so far it just is not working with the stick on players getting a game each week. Even when Barton disappeared we still laboured in MF. All I am saying is it might end up with us playing better. It may well go the other way and we might regress further. I hope that is not the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossiter or Crooks would be the preffered player to sit behind i would imagine, problem is that they don't have their injury worries to seek.

Think Laudrup in the SC Final. Hearts concentrated on Gazza leaving Laudrup to run amok. Obviously a much much higher quality of player before anyone starts. Yup - could have been a handy option. I think he's been better as his fitness picked up - also that he's come into his own a bit since Barton's been out of his way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
He's blue he's white 717 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hopefully Rossiter can step in, beside Haliday and Holt. This would be a sensible move for this game anyways...A more natural balance. Gutted for Niko nevertheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it actually happened and is ligament damage as the article says then he would be out of Sunday anyway so why not just say it ? He wasn't asked. He was asked specifically about Wilson & Rossiter. I doubt he'd have volunteered the info as we're waiting to send him for a scan to see how bad it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the risk you take with older players unfortunately, more susceptible to injuries and take longer to recover. It's our first season back in the top flight, a lot of lessons to be learned by King and Warburton from our transfer policy over the summer. The season isn't a complete right off yet, we're competing for 2 cups and more than likely 2nd place barring an unlikely timplosion. As of right now, 2nd and at least 1 cup would be decent and allow us to build over the summer. Wait till you get to my age, then you might see what a worst ever season looks like. Mmm don't think being stuck in the championship was great either right enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Gutted. He'a fantastic to when he's on his game. He was finally looking 100% sharp as well.

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 'Makes you wonder what's going on at training' No it doesn't. We were incredibly fortunate with injuries last season given the size of our squad. I very much doubt the training has changed that drastically.

cascadeshrimp 1,453 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Gutted. He's been our MOTM the last 2 games and i reckon he forced himself into the starting XI on Sunday. Get well soon big fella Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting Halliday is in there scalping CMs? Not sure you can blame it on the training, you can put it down to bad luck and recent injury history of the players we've got in there. Crooks - arrived injured Rossiter - was out injured the majority of the last two seasons Windass - granted has been injured twice which is concerning Holt - was injured for a wee while last season Kranjcar - has always been injury prone Barton - is a fud Actually, come to think of it - Halliday is the only one who hasn't been injured. Maybe he has been taking players out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,375 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Warburton's fault that people are injured, or Andy Halliday's - what the fuck is wrong with this place?

Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Money needs to be spent in January for next season. (If Warburton makes it to then) Write this season off and try and get into Europe next season. This transfer window has been fucking abysmal, how anyone in management level though we could compete with Celtic this season with that squad is beyond me. As fans we did, but we can be excused. King and Warburton on the other hand have handed them another title. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
