Why no Alfredo tonight?

[LyonGer]

We saw him warming up in the first half?

 

[NeilFifeLoyal]

Was thinking the same surly fit enough for 20/25 mins.

 

[ellis1873]

Colak has doing well so I thought that was why.

 

[der_hammer10]

Colak had a great game, and Alfie is now fresh to take Hibs apart.

 

[madride]

Heavy pitch, Colak doing well up top.

 

[Ulsterscot]

It’s his first long term injury.

I trust the medical team will want to make sure of no setbacks and that will have been a high intensity game to play in coming on as a sun.

 

[a_weir]

Don’t think Colak was doing anything to warrant being subbed.

 

[Jorgthegreat]

Because Colak was doing well and likely to grab a goal if he got the chance

 

[China Bear]

Might need to play him next week - we will score next week, but we need to stop them going in at the back

 

[Man on the post]

4 in 4

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Čolak was outstanding.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Colak played well tonight, Alfie being saved for the Spoon Burners!

people need to dampening expectations of Alfie as well, been out 5 months, needed actual surgery as well.

Great problem to have, people complained we were overly reliant on him!

 

[MilngavieLoyal]

Probably didn’t want to risk late on in the game, on the other hand, if he’s not fit, why’s he there?

 

[Boab4]

Who would you have took off for him?

Our only striker was superb

 

[Jorg Albertz]

Don't think he's near fit that's why. Would be surprised to see him start at Easter Road

 

[Hideyorii]

Last 10 minimum should have seen alfie

 

[NegrisLob]

Colak excellent, not tired, and Morelos can get almost a full 90mins at the weekend

 

[venturablue]

We have a big month ahead of us. Ease him in.

 

[buc11]

Really disappointing not seeing him come on.

 

[Bryanmc]

Colak was class and gave the central defence an awful time

 

[Hurricane Run]

Morelos could do without being rushed back. Last thing we need is an aggravated injury.

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Saving him for next week I imagine. Colak was top drawer I felt though. He needs far more service than he's getting as he's clinical when getting a chance.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Probably didn’t want to risk late on in the game, on the other hand, if he’s not fit, why’s he there?

He's fit, just not match fit!

 

[Hallers]

Colak has doing well so I thought that was why.

Fresh legs & he's a player who causes all teams problems

Colak looked fkd.

 

[RFC56]

Thought from about 70th minute we could have seen him on the park tbh. Would have helped us get up the park a little.

 

[jones65]

The Buff will be unleashed in Holland next week. He’s what’s been missing from our away games recently.

 

[M4rk]

Colak deserved to stay on the full match, he was absolutely outstanding

 

[Ciro]

Who would you have took off for him?

Our only striker was superb

Colak. Straight swap. Final 10 minutes. He was excellent tonight but Alfie would have caused that defence a lot of problems.

 

[MarkWalters11]

Some folk on here obviously didn’t watch the game or are not colak fans.
Colak looked like he could play another 90 minutes

 

[Hallers]

Saving him for next week I imagine. Colak was top drawer I felt though. He needs far more service than he's getting as he's clinical when getting a chance.

Next wk? Ffs we could have won tonight & given ourselves an advantage going over therr

 

[Zangief]

Far from ideal conditions for a player just recovering from muscle issues. Colak was having a great game either way so no need for the change.

Would probably start Morelos against the HIVS though.

 

[Xtal]

He would be on if he was fit same for Davies and Yilmaz, they’re miles off it clearly.

 

[TheScotty]

Colak was superb and didn’t merit being subbed.

 

[iprod]

Cause colak was our best player and lookin dangerous up to the end. Would you have subbed our best player off?

 

[Stuart_WATP]

Next wk? Ffs we could have won tonight & given ourselves an advantage going over therr

He's not fully fit

 

[dublinbluenose]

Colak was outstanding tonight.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Colak was excellent but I'd like to have seen Alfie on because we needed a win. Their defence is as bad as ours.

 

[WinkieWATP]

The player I’m surprised that never came on was Arfield because he would probably have been running in on that one the keeper tipped out from Colak.

 

[Jorg Albertz]

He would be on if he was fit same for Davies and Yilmaz, they’re miles off it clearly.

It shows how vital it is to get players in early on in pre season and not as the season starts.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Would have been mad to take Colak off the way he was playing tonight and replace him with a half-fit Morelos. GvB has already said, he doesn't see them playing together.

 

[DavieM]

Colak comes alive in the box but maybe Buff could have been an option holding the ball up and bringing others in to the game when we were under the cosh.

Would have been harsh on Colak though.

 

[Ger572]

Tillman out Buff in for next week anyone?

 

[Bum chin]

Colak is a far better goalscorer than Alfredo. Its good that he is now going to need to work very hard to get back in the team.

 

[Delboy Trotter]

He’s still a good bit away from being match fit and given the work rate Colak provides, I can see why he didn’t switch them

 

[MilngavieLoyal]

He's fit, just not match fit!

Another poor decision from Gio in my opinion then.

No reason not to change Colak with Alfie after they equalised.

 

[Hallers]

He's not fully fit

Played for 30 mins the other week against Kilmarnock.

What's his new injury?

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Thought colak deserved to stay on

 

[LyonGer]

Who would you have took off for him?

Our only striker was superb

Scott wright. Only because I don't rate him
As a whole thought we were the better team

Let's see what bext Wednesday brings
.50/50

 

[Hallers]

He's fit, just not match fit!

Played against Killie. So is this new injuries he's had? Hopefully Gio can confirm
