They’ve just had home games against Accies and St Johnstone, win one of them and they would have been safe and an outside shot at top six. Pumped in both. Huge game for them in Paisley on Wednesday now. We were missing 5 first team regulars (more if you include the long term injuries), had a 17 year old making his first career start at right back and couldn't fill our bench despite having as squad of 30 odd players. Of the players that were on the bench Cornelius has made 2 first team appearances as a sub, Devine 1, MacIver 9 and Peter Morrison hasn't played a first team game. Yet you sound surprised we lost today. Edited February 20, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Donnell's suspension is done but as for the injuries? f**k knows - Campbell and O'Hara were missing due to some mystery "illness" that's not Covid, Gallagher's been "injured" for the past couple of weeks, Mugabi has an unspecified injury. Folk like Foley, Smith, Nolan etc who we signed in January they have pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth Edited February 20, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you sound surprised we lost today. As are we. We're running essentially with a squad of 12 outfield players currently as we're naming 5 outfield players on the bench but only the same 2 players are getting any game time off the bench since McGrath and Doyle-Hayes were added to the crock list. I'd say we're in as big an injury crisis as I've seen in a long time. Edited February 20, 2021 by djchapsticks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as has been said, it’s the time of the season where every club is dealing with injuries and/or suspensions. Some are coping better than others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can really see it in the the last 30 mins at the moment, we just don't have the legs and end up hanging on. Game plan seems to be to get in front early and hope to hold on. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 In fact the only time I can remember us having an injury crisis like this was last season when we were due to go to Kilmarnock (I think) with no central defenders and no left back after beating Hearts in the Obika game. Luckily it didn't matter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 11/2 with the bookies if you want to put your money where your mouth is.I learned long ago that betting on football is a mugs game [emoji28]I - like everyone else- has no idea who will finish 12th, but I think it’s safe to say it will be one of Accies, County or Killie. This thread is for speculating on possible outcomes. Given what I’ve seen of those sides recently and current form, Killie are clearly in the worst shape and I think they are the most likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all but we're going into our 10th game in the last 4 and a half weeks on Wednesday and there are loads of tired, tired legs.

flyingscot Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 To be honest, I think given our injury crisis we've done well. Schedule has been tough. Might not make the top 6 as a result of it, but we've not been losing which is a positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that combined with the Motherwell JV squad doesn't sound like it would lend itself to a lot of scoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be as well just agreeing to call if a 1-1 draw just now and saving everyone the bother tbh. It’s inevitable anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiepiemuncher Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Killie’s run of results, not including today’s defeat. Ayrshire derbies next season to look forward to is the only saving grace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
