We can still win every game we play without them, everyone thought that about Berra when he got injured. The team needed us fans to get behind the team more than ever and show them we believe in them! This ... we’ve got the best squad we’ve had for a long time - yes it’s gutting but reading some of these posts FFS ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Munro Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Bobby Smith Dikamona Dunne Garrucio Morrison Haring Lee Mitchell Naismith McLean Subs from Djoum, Clare, Hughes, Bozanic, Cochrane, McDonald, Wighton, and hopefully Brandon/Godinho to come back. We also have Mulraney and Amankwaa who will hopefully step up. We still have quality in depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie_Rules Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Whilst its a disaster of a situation, we still have players who can cover all positions CB Dunne Clevid Hughes Smith/Gaurrico (as a back 5) Wouldn’t move him, but Haring if need be (Bozanic holding mid) CF Naismith MacLean Wighton or 2 wide men with one of the above Not ideal but we’ll cope Getting Berra, Souttar and Uche back into next year with Vanecek coming in is going to be some boost.

John Findlay Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 A players bad luck is another players opportunity. Time for someone else to step upto the plate. We can't undo injuries but, we can make sure others know how lucky they are and to Carpe Diem. When the chips appear to be down this is when you find out who is made of the right stuff and who isint.

JamboFever Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Key players both. It is gutting, undoubtedly, but it also presents opportunities to some very capable players. We have a squad with very little 'filler' (barring the obvious like Amankwaa, Martin); guys like Clare, Dikamona, Wighton have tools in their locker to keep us competing at the top end. Not to mention our homegrown talents like Cochrane, Morrison and McDonald who may come back into the frame in a peripheral sense with substitute minutes now we are a bit more stretched. Expectations may have to be readjusted slightly, but I still see enough strength in depth for a top three finish. Not what we might have dreamed of in the last few weeks, but I'd have taken it like a shot in the summer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elshin Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I could cry. Gutted. Naismith has to play as a centre front man, the way he has for scotland last 2 games. We should also get mitchell left wing to support attack. Clare or djoum back in the middle of the park. I always hope for the best but genuinely see this seasons being a 'what could have been'.

SuperstarSteve Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Devastated is an understatement. Im usually one for prolonging the suffering but I feel like the togetherness in the squad can carry us through. I just hope the quality is on show next week. My only real worry is a fully fit griffiths will be available, Celtic played s blinder, club over country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Souttar is a big loss, but Dikamona has looked very decent in his cameos. We've been okay without Uche for a few weeks anyway, MacLean and Naismith up top is our strongest strike force imo. The problem is keeping them fit otherwise we really are in trouble. Not signing another striker after KL left was crazy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Oh just **** right off It has to be something deeper in our training etc. Why always our key ****ing players.

Ronald Villiers Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 If we can just keep the momentum going until the winter break we'll have Berra, Vanecek and a fit Clare to come in when we commence in January. Uche and Souttar will hopefully return around March, at which time we're still very much in the title race. I'm gutted but trying to put a positive slant on this.

Pagey Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Gutted for them both and for the team but thankfully, we have some depth in the squad, particularly at the back. Just hope we don’t rush Berra back too soon. Optimistic that the rest of the squad can continue the progress although would have preferred Uche battering the hobos in a couple of weeks. With Soapy being injured through the January window by the looks of it, I’m assuming his will remove any chat of him being a target, at least I hope so.

They're not going to be easy but then, they never were. Best to leave all judgements on our season until after the beginning of November. We'll have a much clearer idea then.

Debut 4 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Of course it’s a blow. No team is ever a one man side but Uche gives so much with his presence. It worries oppositon and allows his his team mates to get forward and change the dynamic of the game. But it’s about rising to the challenge, others taking their chance and finding another effective way to play. Still have a very good squad.

Captain Canada Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Terrible news obviously but we can only look forward now. Clevid looks a good player and can play alongside Dunne. Beyond the next game we also have Hughes and Smith who can play there. I'm more concerned about our striking options. Uche gives us an option nobody else currently can. It shouldn't be all doom and gloom though. Berra will be back before Christmas, Clare is still to play and Vanecek is joining too. After the next few weeks when we play Aberdeen, the Hobos and Celtic twice, our run of games should get a bit easier. There may be someone who's fit and out of contract that we could sign until January as cover up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
