Jamboscanbevicius Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I don’t expect too much in the next few days. Might depend on the prognosis for Smith and Halkett. CH could be key and expect we have a few irons in the fire… Branthwaite on loan Findlay on loan to buy Souttar away (but only if we sign CH) Will be interesting to see what happens with Souttar if he stays. We will play him, and if he gets an injury will the zombies still sign him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically there’s nothing to stop any team from buying players 7 days a week, especially in January. But window after window they seem to be Monday through Friday bar a few exceptions. I’m sure there’s a multitude of reasons for this, but it is the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavydavy Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 17 minutes ago, PapaShango said: We probably need some cover at the back as well with injuries. Halkett will be a huge loss for us, Moore just isn't as aggressive or good in the air. I reckon Simms will do well and he played well last night when he came on, considering he probably didn't know half his team mates names. The boy from Swansea would be good. Taylor Moore is also currently carrying a thigh injury. If we rush him back because Smith and Halkett are out then we risk aggrevating his injury and then we are in big trouble. We may end up having to play Souttar, Haring and Kingsley as our back three. Cochrane could step in if required but I am still not convinced about him. Thank goodness Beni is back hopefully no worse for his return ;ast night. He makes such a difference to our midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to wonder if he's going to be in our plans beyond his contract. GMS needs emptied. Ginnelly will be on bench with Boyce and Simms up front hopefully.

Can’t see Simms filling in at the back. Has great physicality but doesn’t have the experience to play at the back. I reckon we should bring that Branthewaite guy in on loan, would be solid cover.

If you’re in the trenches he’s about the last person you’d want next to you. Let’s hope Robbie can try and get some form out of him. Appreciate the job/ formation is a bit different but surely he has flexibility. The talent has never been in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme an H... Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 GMS has been a massive dissapointment. Players like him blow hot and cold, I get that.

Sibbick does seem to play on the right of a back three when he does play for Barnsley which is where Souttar, Moore and Smith are most comfortable. Kingsley and Cochrane cover the left side well. What we need is a battering ram to cover for Halkett in the heart of the defence imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking very very light at the back. Massive games coming up that can change the season Taylor Moore will train at Riccarton on Thursday with a view to being involved against Motherwell on Saturday. “I expect Taylor back. He is training tomorrow so if Halks is struggling then he can come in,” added Neilson. I think the recall headline meant to our first team. Panicky headline stuff. It certainly made me read it.
