well fan for life Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I would say the latest "coffee and a chat" explains why we stuck Richard Tait in front of the camera after the last game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 One of those seasons lads.... What a bizarre thing to happen to Trevor - must be the shite legroom on low cost airlines to Belfast. At least we (in theory) have a genuine back up for him - so it's time for Gillespie to show us what he's got..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't........... He’s been quite effective for us so far. Clearly not great at football but quite and athlete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Gillespie has nearly 200 games under his belt in the EFL- it’s no like we’ve been left with Russell Griffiths for an extended period. Who’s one redeeming feature seemed to be that he wasn’t Craig Samson. The whole improving 12-18 might actually come in handy for the first time this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTamMuller Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Might we see the return of the elusive Xenodochof off the back of this ... That's a horrible thing to happen to Trevor - hopefully it clears up problem free and he can get back to playing football sooner than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you'd strengthened your 12-18 with some english lower league players just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Trevor Carson will miss an extended part of the season after developing deep vein thrombosis.https://t.co/3HD6EHB5bKJust as well we're not cramming a huge number of games into the next month or so then.

Oh, wait a minute.... That was what really killed us last season. It wasn't so much the injuries, it was the injuries during the most densely packed bit of the season - did we not have like 9 games in December last year or something? If we had the injuries when there were lots of international breaks, the impact would have been nowhere near as bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the injuries when there were lots of international breaks, the impact would have been nowhere near as bad. IIRC during the December slump Carson, Hartley, Moult, Tait, Cadden and Frear were all either injured or carrying injuries. Campbell missed a few of those games too, though I don't know if that was injury or he was simply being 'rested'. There may have been others... We ended up playing that 1-1 draw with Dundee with 10 men after Cadden went off injured, Frear was subbed on then his hamstring popped after 5 mins on the park or something. That was the game Hartley ended up stretching out his cramp himself I think? Edited November 23, 2018 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Aye - that game was a total farce....The whole squad was basically fucked by that point. The winter break helped get things back on an even keel but you have to wonder if cramming a quarter of the season into one month in order to get a winter break was a major part of the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mental. We can't evenly spread the season out any more because before december there are international breaks and European midweeks. And we can't move games later because of the split and having to get the season finished. So basically all the winter break does is condense games into December which is of neglible value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highlight of that Dundee game was someone on Steelmen Online saying Frear should have just played at left back with his injury. Mental because 1. his hamstring had just exploded off his leg and 2. we'd be better digging a hole at left back on the off chance it might trip someone up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
