Sting777 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) He apparently said on Jagzone yesterday that he is going in for a clean up op on his knee next week as he is still getting some pain and he has known since pre season that it's still not right. He expects to be out for 4/6 weeks though when 4 weeks is mentioned at Firhill it usually means 4 weeks, then another 4 weeks then another etc, etc. He gets a lot of stick at times but the one I want to know when he is coming back is Callum Booth. We are a mess at left back and the sooner he is back bombing up that left hand side the better!

Nightmare Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah, Booth has never been anything more than average for us, but average sounds really good right about now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Bit harsh on Booth I think, though he did lose form pretty heavily towards the end of last season. He was supposedly out for 3 months after getting injured in the St J game so he'll be another month at least. Penrice is also due back in January but I had a look at the Livi threads a couple of days ago and seemingly he's been playing -very well- in midfield for them which is interesting if both him and Booth are available come January. Anyway, difference a win makes. We've got the two teams bottom of the form table in the next 2 games and then only 2 games in November with the Celtic game being postponed after yesterday's LC result. *If* we can get through these next 2 games with 6 points then by the end of November we won't be detached at the bottom and might be starting to get some players back (Booth, Bannigan, Fraser if his leg stays attached) for the huge amount of games in December. 2 defeats though and it's back to "we're fucked" mode. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday showed that Turnbull is a centre half and can't play full back, never mind wing back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't think saying Booth is average was harsh. Decent going forward, pretty poor at the back. Not the worst in the league but miles away from the best. Plus he gives away a ridiculous amount of penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who can fill that slot until either Booth is fit or Penrice returns. Turnbull is certainly not the answer. It's a massive problem for the manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 How quick can you get to from central to Firhill? Playing football in Ayrshire in the morning and staying at central. Planning to dump suitcase and get a train/taxi out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper would be leaving Central from the south entrance and jumping on the St Enoch subway to St George's X. As Fuctifano said, you can also walk it in a reasonable time. f**k that, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Not really that enthusiastic being linked with guys like Martin Woods.. Would rather give McCarthy the gametime instead than bring in a journeyman to stifle his development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armand 2 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I dare say Woods would be an improvement on what we have at the moment which is perhaps a rather damning indictment. Encouraged that we're at least looking to add to the squad though. A proper left back would be handy too (Bob Harris still available...) but doubt we'd get two arrivals, as much as they're needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can't see the LB issue being addressed while we still have Nitriansky able to step in, as well as players like Turnbull and Lawless capable of filling in there. I use the term "capable" loosely here. Just a case of getting through this until Booth is back/we can recall Penrice unfortunately. As for Woods, never rated him but it's clearly our weak point right now, and I really don't think McCarthy is ready to be the answer, so happy to see what Woods brings to the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle4eva Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think we'll try ditch Nitriansky in January. Can't wait until Callum Booths fit again he's very undervalued by some supporters. He's a huge miss defensively and attacking wise he's actually one of our most important players. I was actually impressed by woods a few times watching highlights of County games, last time I seen him he had a stinker at firhill but an all round midfield type is definitely missing as we all know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the only time he tried that. It's very indicative of half of his game. He's very comfortable on the ball, but don't ask him to tackle, or for the love of god take set pieces. Put it another way, I think he's a decent player, but I wasn't in the slightest bit bothered when he left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
