Presumably he's been recovering from a torn calf muscle and has again torn it whilst trying to come back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, jolly good show that chap. Now go pick that drunken bin up. All bins are now in their rightful place, rounded them up after the pitch was finished so don't panic.

Old Scrotum Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 For god's sake don't let them leave bottles of water by the side of the pitch! And leave the bin lids open so I can play at chewing-gum 'basketball' during the dull periods of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am still a bit concerned that the prone one in the photo appears to have lost a wheel. Please can you confirm that some remedial action has taken place, if this is indeed the case, i.e. has the missing wheel been located and reattached with some attempt having been made to lessen the likelihood of it becoming detached in future? I shudder to think that there is a "wheelie-bin" so-called, sans a wheel, with all the terrible consequences from a "health and safety" perspective of it say, falling over and causing a crush injury to some unwitting fan. #sayitaintsojoe Apologies, if in fact both of the wheels are in situ and I am simply misinterpreting the scenario. e.t.a. having blown up the photograph, I can now see that although on the shady side, the missing wheel, is actually nothing of the kind. Phew, that is a relief! Sorry for doubting the integrity of your waste management systems. I stand corrected. (Yes, I have been avoiding work in composing this.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Good news regarding Mango. With that in mind I'd line up as follows:Smith (if he's in the squad)Ballantyne Henk Mango FergusonForbes Carswell Hutton BarrGallagher ArmourI'm no fan of the Carswell and Hutton combo but it's probably not as bad as Hutton and Forbes and I'm keen to see how Forbes and Ballantyne work together. If we had Dom Thomas to replace Gallagher that would be a handy looking team with a couple of options on the bench. I haven't actually seen Armour yet so I've not idea if he'll be a better option than the toiling Gallagher. I don't really know how good Henk will be and I've only seen Ferguson once but my god it feels good to not have Dyer and Dowie in that back 4.

Scottylintonstowel Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hopefully Henk Van Schalk is a good signing for us but probably nowhere as good as the great Ajax forward Hertz Van Rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum seems to have been off it for a number of weeks now and always seems to come back well after sitting on the bench. Thomson is just more of a handful in my opinion.

MOFOREVER Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Well, see you all this Saturday then. I think the Mo have a full squad to pick from but would leave out Bolo as The Sons would no doubt target him again and it's best to try to keep 11 men on the pitch. Hoping Cammy isn't back to his best yet - some player that when he's on his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Squad numbers remain painfully thin going into this one. Had hope for a few more incoming signings. I guess we'll just have to make do again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Given that Paton is suspended for this one, I reckon it'll be a trialist keeper, a back 4 of Ballantyne - Barr - Van Shaik - Ferguson, 2 holding midfielders in Hutton and Carswell, Barr - Thomson - Gallagher in front of them and then Armour up front. Could swap Armour and Thomson and have Ryan playing as a target man. Bench will be Adam, Perry (or Barr if he isnt fit enough to start) and potentially a trialist or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
