Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 12 minutes ago, Reformation Bear said: He's a player SG refers to as one he can 'trust' so if its an injury that ends Jack's season then losing him is a blow. The opportunity then presents itself to others in the squad to step in when one of them is selected, raise their game, and demonstrate that we can continue to win games. There should be enough quality cover to deal with losing Jack through injury. Losing Jack for some games / rest of season is not good, but I wonder if there is any good news about Dorrans maybe becoming fit enough for first team consideration. Last I recall SG saying was Dorrans had suffered a setback in training. Don’t think you will see Dorrans kick a ball in anger for us again to be honest mate. I just hope Stevie doesn’t fall for the experience trap and play Davis instead of McCrorie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen nothing in games to suggest he's right Courtyard Bear, JCDBigBear and BridgeIsBlue 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite often in this type of situation I'd say the player will benefit from a good, full pre season. I think that for Barisic and Grezda for instance. But I genuinely believe Davis just isn't the player he used to be. He's on decline and I don't think it's down to fitness. Unless he proves otherwise I'd be gutted to see him offered a contract extension. And that's purely based on ability on the pitch none of the stuff from how he left us before.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Disappointing to lose Jack but Kamara, McCrorie and Davis I think we have enough to cover the loss of him until the end of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Davis was outstanding for NI earlier this season. He couldn't just turn crap as quick as that. I think with a few games we will see how good he is. At least we have cover. Kamara coming in early had a lot if us scratching our heads but he seems to be the main man now. The other guy we've forgotten about is big Coulibally so a blow but if it was Goldson or Alfredo we would be fucked big-time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I rate McCrorie highly be it would appear to me that Kamara has his spot ATM. OhW 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about McCrorie's ability to put his foot on the ball at times but he's combative and full of energy which will be needed vs. the junkies. McCrorie sitting with Kamara and Arfield just ahead of him - not pissing around with it at the back, just get it right up the pitch and immediately get in their faces. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never be a true foot on the ball type player, am not fussy about that with him either though. Love seeing him just snapping in to exchanges and winning possession back. Friday night is perfect for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s any truth in that I’d cancel his loan if there is not a sharp improvement in his performance, we don’t need somebody who’s only here to work his ticket when we surely have some youth chomping at the bit who genuinely want to perform rather than steal a wage?

I think ball has been put back in his court. He'll need to do a lot more to extend his contract after the summer. Doubt he's got it in him tbh.
