Sid Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Always look on the bright side. He isn’t going to America or anywhere for next season with a CV of two serious knee injuries this season and no demonstration of being fit again. We will offer him rehab and pre-season training in exchange for signing a new contract. US on hold for a couple of years and fingers crossed we get those two season out of him without further serious injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haring is a DM Clare is an attacking center mid djoum is a center mid/attacking center mid garuccio is probably our best left sided player- at the back or on the wing morisson and Mulraney are our only out And out wingers- except for garuccio and Wighton who can play there. Uche needs support near him and not to wide strikers which ultimately leaves 1 up top. Djoum In the left and Clare on the right is like playing two men down.

Considering all the players brought in over the summer and January it's actually shambolic. Djoum, , Clare and potentially Wighton are the Naismith back-ups. Problem we had last time he was out was that all our other strikers, except McLean, were out as well. This time round we have five strikers currently fit so shouldn’t be same impact. In fact could be better than recent weeks because clearly Naismith op in Nov didn’t work. He hasn’t been anything like the player he was since he came back. This next op is to do the job properly this time ie shave more of the cartilage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
