I really don’t think he has a choice. He has a squad of journeymen who are either carrying a knock but playing through it or are recovering from injury and nowhere near fully fit. Or guys like Jack and Roofe, good for ten minutes every three months. Had we not suffered a ridiculous number of injuries, players like Lawrence, McCausland, Wright, Raskin wouldn’t be near the first team right now and I’m not convinced that Lundstram is 100% right now either. He doesn’t have the luxury of choice, it’s about getting eleven men on the pitch, as close to being fit as possible. No other team or manager would be where we are with such carnage in terms of injuries and a medical team who seem unable to get injured players back for months at a time.

Ironic that scum fans are moaning about underinvestment while a few million on Shankland and Armstrong would have saved us from your scenario and put us in a hugely stronger position.

To be fair, it’s not rotation for rotation’s sake. The injury situation is so horrendous (and getting worse, not better) that he’s trying to give as many players as many minutes as he can so that we can still field eleven players and fill the subs bench. As for Cantwell and McCausland getting kicked out the game, just imagine the outcry had that been Furuhashi and O’Riley. The Motherwell players crossed the line between pressuring and fouling on umpteen occasions today but it went completely unpunished. Injuries and corrupt officiating remain bigger obstacles to us than the scum.

For a big bloke, Mugabi is remarkably unstable if an opponent goes with two yards of him.

Player you loved watching the most?
Colin Traive replied to dee9's topic in General Football & Sport
Cruyff, Neeskens, Netzer, Rummenigge, Kempes, Luque and almost all of the ‘78/82 Italian teams even though most were in the Juve team pumped out the European cup by the famous in 1978. -
Do we know McGregor’s injury? Be good if he missed quite a few, he controls that team.
-
He’s worked wonders so far considering the absence of two forwards who would almost certainly be first picks and adding Cortes to the injury list makes his job even harder. I wish we were like other teams where players miss two or three games when injured - at Ibrox, it seems to be half a season at least minimum.😡

Impossible to estimate what kind of fee we’d need to be offered to let him go. He’s done superbly since getting his chance. Whatever happens between now and May, Sterling and Butland are the greatest successes of the season along with, of course, the manager.
-
Sterling alongside Lundstram with Wright in for Raskin sadly more likely

I hope you’re wrong because that would mean him playing for us again and that shouldn’t happen.

Barisic is gutless and even his one asset, good crossing, has started to fail. His default instinct is to pass back the minute an opponent gets within twenty yards of him. Easily the worst LB in many, many years. Hopefully Clement has learned tonight that Yilmaz, while not perfect, is miles ahead now. Rather play Yfeko at left back or even play a back three which is effectively what we have when the coward plays. Get him as far away from the first team as possible.
-
Jack Butland now confirmed as a guest alongside Souness and Clement this Sunday. A five point lead going in to this would be nice
-
No doubt VAR would have disallowed that for fuck knows what

Colin Traive replied to stuart1994's topic in Jimmy Bell's Kitroom
Agree with most of that but I’d start Wright instead of McCausland and Dessers before Silva simply because those two are more expendable with that plastic Axminster they’re playing on. Same reason I’d sacrifice Barisic and protect Yilmaz. -

Agreed. Him and Lennon Miller are two of the best youngsters in the SPFL and I’d be happy to see both in our squad next season. But right now, neither would displace Lundstram or Diomande. -

I felt before the Hearts game that we were playing their recent form as opposed to playing them, a team of journeymen, none of whom (with the possible exception of their captain) would get near our squad let alone our team. We got the potential threat out of proportion - Hearts at Ibrox has never been a fixture to fear. Same thing applies to Killie. A strike force of van Veen and Greg Stewart? I’d have Danny Armstrong ahead of Wright or McCausland but, beyond that, once again they are simply inferior in every position. Their greatest weapon is their pitch ffs With Clement in charge, I expect us to be fully prepared and to be coming back up the road with three points. -
