SkylineBlue 23,566 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 How many of our first team has to be out injured before folk accept that people who would prefer to prioritise competitions aren't being negative, and are just being honest and facing the reality of the situation that we're in? We were already in an injury crisis before we lose another 2 last night. OrangeRab and MacBoyd 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were already in an injury crisis before we lose another 2 last night. I donāt even think itās a case of being able to prioritise. Squad is absolutely fucked in the attacking 3rd. LW - Sima, Cortes AM - Cantwell, Dowell (+ Lawrence always seems right on the edge) RW - Wright, McCausland, Sterling (+ Matondo just back after 6 weeks) CF - Danilo + the likes of Jack, Balogun injuries in there too. We simply donāt have the squad to rotate much. Our bench options last night were woeful. Borna and Raskin were the only real changes you could make, and both were hooked at 45 mins in their recent outings.Ā SkylineBlue and OrangeRab 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southsider 313 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Concerning as it is, we do need to keep some perspective. The defence is settled and losing few goals.Ā Central midfield is also pretty settled and looks strong.Ā Left side of the attack has Silva, Matondo, Lawrence with Sima back in training.Ā Cantwell is back soon as well at no 10.Ā Dessers and Roofe at CF isn't great, but much the same as most of the season.Ā Yes, right side of the attack is a shitshow, but things aren't maybe as bad as we might think Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 2,780 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Itās a tricky one. Playing this many matches without adequate recovery greatly increases injury risk + fatigue. Especially hamstring and quad muscle injuries (like Sterlingās). So playing in Europe hampers our title chances.Ā But then equally PC might feel we have enough depth and quality to win despite that.Ā The cup is a no brainer for me to go all out as weāre favourites to win it. And itās only 2 matches. The European equation is less clear. Another 5 midweek matches with travel for very slim odds of even reaching the final (20/1). So you risk so much for a slim shot at what would be one of the great days in our history. No right answer imo but Iād veer to securing the title and Scottish cup given the importance this year (and the money). MacBoyd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows a proper pre season is needed. And probably a squad of players with a resilience and athleticism rather than perma injured ones.
