A recurrence of his hamstring injury saw the defender sent for a scan and he is now battling to be available for upcoming games against Raith Rovers, Falkirk and Rangers.

Clerry Jambo Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Not bothered. McGhee is better. That's your view, but I think the main issue is possibly losing our captain for longer than initially thought. Bigger picture is also Paterson being out for 2 matches, we cant really suffer more problems at the back. Ofcourse some may fancy the Prince in the back four!!

We need Wilson but only when 100% as Sunday showed. Eckersley-McGhee-Ozturk-McHattie until he is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboPete Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wonder if Brad McKay will get a chance at RB. If Robbie goes with Eckersley instead, that surely means that McKay is clearly not fancied at all. If that is the case, I would look to move McKay on in January and bring in someone that can cover.

The Great Khali Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 We only have three players, Mchattie, Mackay and McGhee to come in. Sounds like Rangers and their premonitions might have been correct. Not enough cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Not sure its a panic but the wilson situation makes young Callums error of judgement tackle even more of a silly one. Lesson learned hopefully. Jordan at CB and Brad can cover. No panic whatsoever. Or Adam to RB and Kev in at LB. Op-shuns galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some just think he is better than others. It;s the same with Walker (who I rate) but others who don;t rate him as much somehow get labelled as haters.

Edward snowdon Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 interesting one for RN next weekend in choosing our defence. With two starting defenders out will be interesting to see how he shuffles the pack for the Raith game. I don't think Mcghee will play CH due to Christian Nade being there main striker think as some have suggested PB will play there with Mcghee at RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Not bothered. McGhee is better. Well he's not is he. He's good and shown a lot of promise, will be a fine replacement for games against Raith and Falkirk, but he's not actually better than Wilson.

Horse shit at right back is our Brad. Not much better at CH if truth be told. Might get a chance at CH if McGhee replaces Paterson. Suspect Eckersley moves to right back with McHattie coming back into LB with McGhee partnering Ozturk. Brad showed how much he can be trusted at) when replacing the already booked and under severe pressure of being sent off Jordan McGhee at Ibrox on opening day - booked within 10 seconds of coming on and left RN with the exact same issue he faced with McGhee on a booking moments before.

mcdougg Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Eckersley is not a right back He is... Just not the one we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sub goalie Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Eckersley is not a right back His preferred position is indeed left back but when signed, Robbie stated he can play in both full back positions. I think we will go with a back 4 of Eckersley, Ozturk, McGhee and McHattie. However, I would be tempted to go 3-5-2 at home to Raith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavydavy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 This seems to indicate he can play there rom Wikipedia. Adam James Eckersley (born 7 September 1985) is an English footballer who plays primarily as a left back, but is also capable of playing at right back. Eckersley plays for Scottish club Heart of Midlothian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'd be saving Wilson for the Rangers game to be honest. Paterson's suspension has given us a bit of a dilemma but we should have enough about us to see off Raith and Falkirk without Wilson, and there's no point risking his injury again and having him miss the Rangers game. Moving Eckersley to right back is an option but my only concern with that is that he is so predominantly left footed. I guess what it could mean is that whoever plays as the right winger stays wide and tries to hit the byline with Eckersley acting as a sort of under-lapping full back, coming inside early and either having a shot at goal or playing a pass but I'm not a huge fan of playing a full back on their 'wrong side'. If McKay gets his chance, which I wouldn't have an issue with, then he gets a couple of games to prove his worth to Neilson and show that he does have a part to play this season.

Rudy T Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The only issue I have with the Wilson - Ozturk partnership is they are very similar players and both look more of a sweeper than an out and out centre half. Neither attack the ball like Steven Pressley as an example and both have a tendency to wander and switch off a bit in games. However many people forget Wilson is 22 and Alim is 21......that's very inexperienced for such a vital position and having only conceded 6 goals in the league its very difficult to criticise any of the players especially the defenders.

Bit harsh on Paterson IMO. He had to make that tackle because of a shit pass earlier , further up the pitch that gave Hibs possession for a dangerous counter attack. So went from a promising area of attack into desperate defence in a couple of seconds. And it wasn't the first time we had wasted good possession with shit passing in threatening areas.

Walker picked the wrong option admittedly - however Patterson did not have to make that challenge. It was a really stupid challenge to make it wasn't as if the guy was clean through on goal. Even if Patterson only clips his heels its probably a booking but to go in with his studs up was only going to result in one thing - a red card.

Nope - he did not have to make THAT kind of tackle. He could have tripped the guy and got a yellow - absolutely no need to stud the him on the back of the leg.
