superallysbears 7,583 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 John is more than good enough, it's just the injury thing that causes most alarm, let's hope he can finally put that behind him because he's a good defender.

Yes, he's a good player and better than I have said at times but when you only play Hearts a few times a season you do make judgements that are solely based on those games. It's a bit different now we are seeing him more. superallysbears and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,286 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 With him and Jack always on the treatment table why are our Aberdonians so injury prone is it something in the water? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beararse 6,375 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 7 hours ago, Badger said: He needs to stay fit. There is a lot to like about him as a player. A bit of a throwback CB, but he can play a bit too. If you could depend on him to play 45 games a season he'd be our main CB for the next 7-8yrs. Looking forward to seeing him next season with a pre season under his belt. Reminds me of Amoruso: similar stature, can play the ball, loves a tackle and looks eager to score at corners. if he turns out to be half as good as Lorenzo we’ve won a watch. Time will tell, but he’s certainly better then the player we all thought we’d got with his performance v Livi. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how bad the injury is and whether the player wants to try. I'm sure it was mentioned 3 or 4 days after our game with St mirren that he had an injury. He's been kept back to train with our physio to see if he can get fit. I'd rather he just said no and relaxed at the side of a pool somewhere tbh. graeme_4, DrLaudrup and Bluekev 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SeparateEntityMyArse 53,726 Posted June 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2023 International games after the end of the season is a fucking ridiculous idea. For players who have had injuries like Jack and Souttar I really think taking time off then coming back fresh for an important club preseason is more sensible than going away for weeks with Scotland. scottyscott1963, DrLaudrup, its_an_extender and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I like Souttar he's a good player but injury prone the same as Jack who we stupidly gave another year. We are not a team who fix injured players we seem to do the opposite, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the other side of the city they’ve had McGregor be left out because he’d played a lot of games, and Greg Taylor left out because of a personal reason in recent years. Feels like we never push back. Madness sending an injured guy with an already terrible history of injuries, to try and be fit for two games. Can’t possibly end well.

Other side of that argument is he hasnt played a lot and could do with the game time. I would agree with you if talking about Jack. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
