javeajag Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 This is a bit depressing .....from James cairney...... More injuries at Firhill. Not exactly sure on names but only 12 fit outfield players for tomorrow’s game. Docherty away for a scan on Monday - could be a serious knee injury. McCall says it’s the worst injury crisis he’s faced in 22 years of management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a near full strength squad we needed more forwards in, but this is just crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCF Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 And the chances of the game being on are? Especially if we adopt the same approach as last week (not employing USH). Temperatures to be down as far as. - 5C overnight on Friday in the Central Belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Docherty's injury is directly related to the knock that forced him off at Falkirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Game might be off tomorrow- which means it will be rescheduled for Tuesday and I doubt very much that that many of the injuries will have had enough time to clear up in the space of just a couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hopefully footballers) Chances are it'll be someone out of favour at his present club and we'll get the usual "this game has come a bit too early for him". With the current restrictions there's also a stronger than usual possibility a new signing will arrive purely on recommendation/video. On the plus side being based where we are should make our chances of signing a player better than clubs from more provincial areas. For once January loan deals will make more sense. I don't know the numbers limitation on such deals or whether they've been relaxed this season but I can imagine that would be the route we'll take.

(hopefully footballers) I’m not convinced we will - we have not been linked with anyone and despite from day one of the transfer market knowing that we needed forwards in there doesn’t appear anything on the horizon- even whether we are extending spittals loan is just complete silence presently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I am sure training methods have been reviewed but nevertheless as a club we seem to have been in a perpetual injury crisis for most of the last 8 years or so! I recall one season early in our SPL period when Archibald couldn't fill the bench for quite some time. We seem to have fallen back into this mode particularly in the last 3 years. Injuries on this scale must affect performances and consequently, results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG1970 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) “Brian Graham and Ryan Williamson are still struggling and Ross Docherty is going to see a specialist to find out more about the injury he picked up on Boxing Day. Tam O’Ware is getting close and Blair Spittal has been back in full training so there is some positive news as well.” McCall then gave us an insight into how that might affect his January business. “With all the injuries, it’s leaving us with a small squad at the moment so we are active in the transfer market and we may have to do more business than we’d intended. Gerry and I are working on deals but January is always a tough window so we’ll just have to see what we can get over the line.” https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-match-preview/managers-preview-ian-mccall-9th-january-2021/ Edited January 8, 2021 by JAG1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
