8 of the first 11 injured.

Griff and Ntcham would certainly be in contention.

Ntcham was largely considered one of the best players at the club a few months back.

 

They're borderline first team though, Griffiths would have been great for the last home game against St Johnstone, the first half we were lacking someone shooting from around the box and him peeling off into the left and shooting from that area would have been ideal.

Ntcham also has his uses along with Rogic and Christie. For me Rogic at home in the League, Christie away in the League, Ntcham at home in Europe and Christie away in Europe might be the better roles. Ntcham has the coposure and attacking threat in big games although hes a defensive liability. Christie gets stuck in and is all action and good defensively and Rogic for home League games is the one who we mostly need to turn guys and open up play.

 

Griff certainly wouldn’t. That much is obvious since Rodgers has been in charge. He’d start the odd game here and there but Eddy is our number 1 striker. Just like Dembele was.

Ntcham would feature more but even then, this season he’s been miles behind McGregor, Christie and Rogic.

 

If I'm "way off" with 4 and we are now compromising on 6 then surely you were equally way off to start with.

 

Touche, I guess.

But Boyata is a first pick.

 

It is more than bad luck. We play too many games and our players barely get a rest.

 

This is not highlighted enough in the media and is little known. We don't get enough credit for grinding out results under these circumstances.

 

Absolutely ridiculous at this stage. I left to go to work with 5 mins to go and Forrest gets injured and Ajer gets sent off! * *.

 

It’s insantiy that we have an international and European experienced CB within the squad, picking up 20 grand a week apparently, but will not be in contention for the next couple games even though we are down to Jozo and Hendry for Hibs game!

There’s no even an excuse or reason why he isn’t considered for matchday squads although he trains everyday. It’s just accepted that we are paying him a good wage for * all.

Why was Compper not moved on in January or contract terminated? would have freed up some wages for another signing

 

Don't think Edouards is going to be anywhere near as bad as everyone thought.

 

Brendan plays players that are carrying injuries. No doubt about it. Its not something we'll complain about in the moment and if we get results. But its incredibly short sighted and we're paying for it now.

 

That was my gut instinct.

 

I mind being gutted that Lj ungberg couldn't play that game.

 

He wasn't moved on as no one would take him. You also can't just terminate a contract unless it is a case of gross misconduct. If he's training as instructed, and will play if fit but isn't being picked there are no grounds for it. If we release him we still need to pay out the remainder of his contract, so there would be no wages freed up.

 

When is Tierney supposed to be back?

 

There’s no timeline on it just now apparently, being assessed week by week.

 

We might not play the huns every week but there are plenty of huns playing for other teams more than happy to thump our players.....i wonder if any other team in scotland suffers the injuries we do.
