Sid Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Million dollar question is do we go positive and put McEneff in with Devlin. Total energy or do we shore up and go with Haring? Or do we shoe-horn Halliday in and do neither? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 What's the worst it can be? hopefully not a broken bone because that could be three months or more. If it's a soft tissue injury then it might only be a couple of weeks. At least it doesn't sound like Achilles because that would be very obvious.

billybalfour Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If we start without Haring we will be chasing the game after 20 minutes.Cochrane back in for Halliday would be my other change but he needs to step it up through there.Hopefully he can as he turns back,like Smith, far too often for my liking.Good test tomorrow of how we can adapt if it starts going wrong.

PhoenixHearts Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Really hope he doesn't have anything major or long term. That said, (I think) up until the late sub in the Motherwell game he'd played every minute of every game since he signed with us and his last couple of outings had been trending closer to a 5 or 6/10 rather than the 8 or 9/10 we'd gotten used to. Reckon he was due a game or two's rest even before the injury. The good thing is we have a player in Haring ready to step in who'd likely be starting at just about every other club in the league. Probably important for him to get a good run in the team right about now, just to keep him warm... Can't imagine it would be great having him sit out all year only for us to lose Beni or Devlin later in the season towards March or April then trying to defrost Haring who hadn't started since September. He was still very much on form when he was replaced by Devlin. Dependable enough player so I hope we don't see too much change in the teams form and dynamics. He plays much more like Beni than Devlin anyway so I can't see why Pete and Cammy wouldn't work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Without Beni’s athleticism it is an absolute certainty we will go with a 3 man midfield. I expect it will be Haring Halliday Devlin & go for first half security before trying to Nick it 2nd half. He might go with Haring Mceneff Devlin and stick with Halliday experience at LWB. Either way Halliday will be starting at CP 1 hour ago, GinRummy said: Would work well. Not a game for GMS to start. He was anonymous in the league cup game through there. Drop a player the week after he’s scored an important goal in an important 3 points?

Total energy or do we shore up and go with Haring? Or do we shoe-horn Halliday in and do neither? That’s not positive, that’s a route to getting dominated by celtics 3 man midfield. You can just about get away with 2 in midfield when you’ve got the endurance and athleticism of both Devlin and Beni. They have the legs (and even then, we’ve seen the likes of Motherwell and Aberdeen simply outnumber them with 3 man midfields, let alone Celtic) A 2 man midfield of Mceneff and Devlin is not “positive” it’s suicidal away at Celtic. Type of thing that gets you beat 5-0 like stendel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very simple rule to motivate players in the forward areas who are competing for a jersey. Drop one of the other 2 forwards both of whom missed good chances.
