Baxfee Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Smith injury is a big deal, Mitchell not really. Had a good game against Auchinleck but has been mince aside from that. Big diffference between having potential/good pedigree and actually performing. Quite simply, he hasn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Just thinking, we could almost make a full team out of our injuries this season.

letsalldothebeattie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Don’t understand the Garuccio situation was playing well, was head & shoulders ahead Mitchell then all of a sudden dropped without any word. Levein doesn’t mention him in press conferences. Then in this injury update on the website he says at left back we’re ok without Mulraney & Bobby Burns. So what has Garuccio done to Levein?

It looked like Demi was getting back to the form he showed in his first stay with us. Levein said lack of confidence was his problem, which is bewildering given the support and encouragement Demi constantly received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played really well for us against Hamilton and Hibs when called upon and then has never been seen again. Has there been some kind of fall out?! Don’t think it has anything to do with a fall out. His defending isn’t that good and until it improves he will remain a squad player. Don’t expect him to be at the club longer term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 From my understanding Bobby is a real talent but lacks any pace, think having him on Berras side could prove costly against quick wingers, would rather see him in midfield and put Garuccio or Mulraney in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo poet Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 3 hours ago, KyleLafferty said: Like posters above have said. CL doesn’t think Ben can play LWB but most times when we play 4-4-2 he plays left back. Levein clearly doesn’t think he’s got either the energy to get up and down. Or the ability to play good football in the final 3rd. Although I think he’s probably our best crosser of a ball. It's a strange one as Garuccio was a winger who was then changed to a wingback/left back while in Oz. You would think his attacking traits would see him through games and would make him more a wing back than a left back. his defending is suspect which I think is the key to him not getting as much game time. Add to that, Berra being at that side makes that flank suspect if up against someone who can run with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 There's the option of playing a 3 at the back but this should only involve Berra being in the centre. We would need a more mobile player on either side. My preference would be Dikamona on the left and Souttar on the right. Other way would do. Unbalanced but perhaps the best we can do.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 A shame as you could see he was gradually getting his confidence back and by the latter part of the season I was expecting Demi to be back to his best with the added incentive to impress with his future uncertain. Anyway we will just have to shuffle the pack again and maybe let Garrucio settle in for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that, Berra being at that side makes that flank suspect if up against someone who can run with the ball. I think he’s a better defender than Mitchell it Mulraney, they all benefit from Berra talking to them but suffer from his poor distribution. Naismith gave Berra an earful for a poor pass on Sunday, he’s much better suited to a 4 at the back than having to move in to the space when we play 3.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Garuccio is ok but that's about it. Notably. Not only Levein but the less animated McPhee have often given him pelters.

Pasquale for King Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The injuries we’ve had this season have been to important players, we had over 40 players miss games last season due to injury. The current average is around 80% of the squad in modern day football unfortunately. It might be prudent to have players in reserve that are more like for like replacements ( they won’t be as good obviously) if we want to play in a certain way.

Morph Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wouldn’t say he’s a big loss in his second stint. It leaves us incredibly short in numbers at full back but he was never really that great second time round. Nowhere near the attacking threat he was at the start and a bit of a liability at the back.
