bordersbear 1,105 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Seems he won't be back for a while. Don't know if he was carrying this injury for quite a long time. If he was he gets the benefit of the doubt as to whether he should get back into the team from me. If he wasn't can't see him being any better than dj. Maybe try John at left mid and tell Wallace to defend as a priority? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 He’s been injured for the best part of 2 years I’d say Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDFM 3,809 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Decent backup to Shinnie next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_of_Blue 565 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Wrong side of 30 now. Will never have the pace he was known for when he was 24-25. A combination of injuries and he's naturally bulkier now. Not looking good for him which is a pity but moving forwards, there is better to be had out there. Will always be appreciated for sticking around when we needed it the most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,527 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Shame for him, don’t think he’s ever really been at the peak of his powers for a good few years. We’ve barely missed him and he’s been seemlessly replaced by John who’s been pretty average. Hopefully we bring in someone better than both of them.

TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Blessing in disguise as bad as it is to say. Means we are forced to actually look for a replacement be it John short term or someone coming in next summer, if he was fit we’d be constantly shoehorning him in just because of his loyalty to us.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Meh. Hope he makes a speedy recovery from his injury but I'm not really desperate to see him back in the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In walter we trust 228 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 He's has been carrying this problem for a while now , club weren't to sure what was the cause.hopefully he gets this finally resolved . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Is that a definite ? I read today he was pushing to be back by next month. As others have said dont think it affects the team to much if he is still out, hopefully he could get some sort of form back when he returns but he hasnt been playing well for a while now.

Neither good enough longer term, both probably fine as squad options - particularly given John is pretty young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 64,730 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hopefully he's been nursing a few niggles and is taking the time to get back to 100% before returning Would love nothing more for him to prove everyone wrong and rediscover his form from the Championship winning season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
