Dan1el Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 It's only Monday and I'm buzzing for Saturdays game! Steve Clarke making Mondays enjoyable since October Anyway what's the latest injury news? Any word on players coming back. Will be a huge test on Saturday and with how strong their midfield is we could do with a few back. Tell a friend to tell a friend to get along on Saturday 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR1869 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Can't come quick enough. Would be good to have Power back to chase McGinn off the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yes to clarify - can't come quick enough as a fan! Going to need some well rested players for this mob, looked very good against the sheep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKtid Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Think Dicker back for this Or should i say Gary Richard Perry Dicker https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/3108/los32-16-february-2018-cwdocx.pdf Edited February 19, 2018 by PrestersKtid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1el Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah Dicker looks to be back and could do with 1 of Power/Tish back, they have plenty in the middle but Mulumbu / Dicker / Rory should be enough. McGinn definitely got the better of Mulumbu in the game at Easter Road. Also wonder if we'll keep the 3 attacking players or drop 1 back in to midfield, either way Stevie knows best! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Tshibola should be back because it was illness not injury, maybe the same bug that SoD had. The two days off should allow them to recover and stop infecting anybody else in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigYin Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Dicker will prob start and could play alongside Mulumbu and Taylor (or possibly Tshibola if fit) in the midfield 3. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Brophy dropped to the bench and McKenzie moved further forward alongside JJ and Boyd due to the defensive qualities he also provides Edited February 19, 2018 by BigYin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Dicker's return will be helpful ..Hibs' midfield is one of the best in league (along with ours).....and likes of Mcginn has troubled us in previous games.. SC did mention after Well game, he had given first team squad extra days off this week... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who all was unwell during last week? I noticed O'Donnell was struggling at one point during the 2nd half, although he seemed to get over it quite quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKillie Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bring brophy on later as a sub, boy has so much energy to expend and has a rocket of a shot on both feet. Tire their defense and bring him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Kiltie for me if fit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piersquared Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Brophy, Mulumbu and Boyd were all gubbed by the second half on Saturday. It was no wonder Jones went off with cramp, he was a one man bleep test for the last 40 minutes. He's had a bit of stick for his final ball on Saturday but he was carrying it for 30-40 yards before having one player to hit most of the time. I tend to agree about playing a 4th midfielder though and play Jones off Boyd against Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheeOhSee Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think the last game against us was the least influential Ive seen McGinn all season! He did get the better of us a few times but with defence playing pretty deep and well covered in the middle he was mostly frustrated. Where they did get us was down the flanks especially their left. I hope SOD and Taylor are both fit for this one and perhaps play Dicker really deep as an extra defender. Id like to see Jones being allowed to sit on the defenders and try to play balls through utilising his pace. Give him 10 one on one's he will probably score 2. McDonald SOD Broadfoot Greer/Boyd Findlay Dicker McKenzie/Tish Mulumbu Taylor Boyd/Erwin Jones Would love to see Jones played more directly than expected, he is a bit predictable and I'm sure Neil Lennon will make sure he has a difficult game out wide. Kiilie Hibs Dee Well Accies Thistle Gers Hearts St.J R.C Cel Dons If we were to win it would be a really good result for us looking at the fixtures! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chum Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Aye Jones had one of his poorest games this season at Easter Road and that was a game he was playing off Boyd, as Brophy was injured. Personally I’d put out the team that beat Celtic if Greer is fit, as this could be a similar game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvis Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Play JJ out on the wing and let him run at them should pick up a few free kicks and you never know he is due a goal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigguy68 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Can’t agree that McGinn had a poor game at Easter road. I though he bossed the midfield and outclassed mulumbu on the day. I think he has got to the level that he requires special attention. If we can blunt mcginn they are half the team. Anyone do a marking job on him?....Rory or Gary d. Dicker a lot to sacrifice in this manner but maybe Rory could do the job to nullify him. Looking forward to a real classic between two good teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch14 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Brophy has to start if he is fit. Gives us such a different dynamic up front. He would give Ambrose difficulty I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
