BlueSuedeSambas 53,787 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Simpson would be a decent signing as a stop gap. We need a natural right back. Balogun and Jack filling in there is fine, but they are still stop gaps and it could upset the entire balance of the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Not worried at all. We will be fine. 3 points tomorrow I'm sure. Killing it by half time would be perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, We’ve signed Jack Simpson, Danny Simpson is ex Man Utd and won a premiership medal with Leicester City, Not sure if he currently has a club but apparently he has a reputation for being in trouble.

We saw what a bad signing can do when the filth signed Duffy. I’d rather go with no signing than a troublemaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bringing in a completely unknown quantity at this stage of the season who is unfamiliar with our players, coaches and system is far more likely to upset the balance of the side. But if they do bring anyone in, I'm sure the coaching staff will do their due diligence and it'll because they're able to do a job and not just because they're the only available option.

BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s a tough one as we are starting to look pretty light, especially in defence, ahead of a big run of games. With Tav, Patterson and Bassey out, allied to the likes of Helander and Balogun historically being susceptible to niggles, it is a concern. Means those two plus Goldson and Borna are going to have to play pretty much every game from now til the end of the season. Just hope they’re all lucky/robust enough to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he’s already said it’s a possibility, i’s obviously something Gerrard is thinking about doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Vandenbroucke 26,159 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Gerrard confirmed in post-match presser that he’ll only be out for 2-3 weeks. Great news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlm 408 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I hope a speedy recovery for both tavernier/Roofe It's also so reassuring that we not totally reliant on both. I think everyone dreaded tavernier's departure from the pitch in Belgium but weve been more than impressive with the lads who have slotted in. Balogun deserves all the plaudits. The kid is solid as a rock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemac 5,001 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Great news. So should be back with plenty of time to spare before the game vs them. Hopefully might get some minutes against st mirren or a full rest and hard training session before that game and will be ready for the (potential) title decider.
