Balogun out for a few weeks

[Disco Deejay]

Injured in training yesterday according to the Gaffer. Hope Tav gets fit soon, as we are now struggling for a right back.

Watch the Tims up the ante to get Patterson dealt with quickly.

The hearing date has been set.

 

[Disco Deejay]

The hearing date has been set.

I know it has, but I expect them to try and have it brought forward, no doubt claiming Sporting Integrity, or they will try to have the Cup game put back till after the hearing.

 

[hallyG]

FFS who is 4th choice now ?

 

[Davieblue1977]

Heard gaffer mention this in his interview

 

[Disco Deejay]

FFS who is 4th choice now ?

Leon King, Bassey, Arfield?

Edit: Bassey is also likely to be banned.

 

[madride]

FFS who is 4th choice now ?

Gary Stevens

 

[Chester Loyal]

We might get to see Kamara or Arfield at right back then!

I actually think Arfield would play the position quite well for a game or two if we were desperate.

 

[Div1690]

Simpson. Would be my bet.

 

[Rio Loyal]

Simpson. Would be my bet.

A left footed CB , Is that you Ally ??

 

[Mview83]

Simpson. Would be my bet.

Left footed

They can’t. End of

 

[Terry's Hairlock]

Whens Ryan Jack available?

Won't require the tims. People on here are falling over themselves to move the game to after the hearing.

Thats some username you've got there bud

 

[Boab4]

Leon King, Bassey, Arfield?

Simpson. Would be my bet.

Aye a left footed right back would be great

 

[tazzabear]

Aye a left footed right back would be great

It’d be highly unusual, I can’t think of a previous example, but it works in right mid or wide in the front three.

 

[Kilsyth Unionist]

Jacks awaiting scans, so he wont be back this season, i would doubt we will see tav and balogun as well .

 

[Portrushbear]

Could well go 3 at the back the last few games

 

[Barrymoped]

Jacks awaiting scans, so he wont be back this season, i would doubt we will see tav and balogun as well .

Tav is back training again, so I’m sure he will be back in time for a couple of weeks, just as Patterson’s ban kicks in

Didnt know that mate, its getting match fit at this stage in the season.
Could have done with Tav , Balogun and Jack for remaining games

 

[Thetinman]

FFS who is 4th choice now ?

Alan Hutton

 

[Spudgun]

Leon King, Bassey, Arfield?

Bassey will be subject to same ban as Patterson.

 

[Spudgun]

Whens Ryan Jack available?

Next season would be my guess.

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

If Tav isn’t back and Patterson and Balagun out I think Kamara could slot in - quick, skillful and good engine.
Leaves us wee bit short in midfield but got players who can play there.

 

[Spudgun]

Character from “Bottom” tv series, played by Ade Edmonson. Nothing sinister.

Same show mine comes from - in fact, Eddie is the character on left of my avatar.

 

[Alex Venters]

Far too slow, far too small.

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Leon King, Bassey, Arfield?

Would that be left footed Bassey who is facing a ban?

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Next season would be my guess.

Yeah , league being won I think Rangers have taken the opportunity to get his injury situation dealt with.

 

[car93los]

This thread escalated quickly hardly a word about Balogun

 

[Chester Loyal]

Far too slow, far too small.

Arfield is taller than Tav.

I also don’t think pace would be a serious issue because he’d likely be up against that Norwegian chap with the long name who isn’t particularly quick.

Someone is going to have to play there and they’ll be out of position most likely. I think Arfield or Kamara are good enough to give us a 6/10 at right back for a single match.

Patterson will play there in the cup game, hopefully Tav back thereafter.

 

[dh1963]

Need to hope the whole back 4 of Tavernier, Goldson, Helander and Barisic all stay fit and available as soon as the covid bans start.

 

[dixonofdockblu]

Hope the big man is back soon as he has stepped up the task this season when big Phil was injured and had Covid.

 

[Disco Deejay]

Would that be left footed Bassey who is facing a ban?

Forgot about the ban.

Playing a left footed right back, whilst not ideal, is not a major problem, as positional sense is important.

Alex Miller and Sandy Jardine both played at right back and left back for Rangers.

Danny McGrain was Celtc's right back and Scotland's left back for years.

 

[PMB1872]

Whens Ryan Jack available?

It would be the Warburton 7-10 days. Around the same time John Eustace makes his debut.

 

[West1973]

Disappointing news

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Far too slow, far too small.

We might be far too desperate to care.

You forgot Jon Flanagan.

That would be ideal.

Conveniently forgotten by some on here because of one bad game playing out of position.

 

[Braeside58]

Hope Leon is back sooner than anticipated

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I don't know why people arent more worried about Tav.

We were being told he might be back for the Old Firm game....the one at Celtic park a month ago. Now you're still telling me he's weeks away.

As we were with others during the season.

 

[sammy1872]

You just know right now the tims will be trying to get the moved to after the hearing . Both clubs will be getting consulted con dates

 

[Sam English]

Jacks awaiting scans, so he wont be back this season, i would doubt we will see tav and balogun as well .

Expect to see Tav back in a couple of weeks.

Isn't a couple of months out just fairly standard for this type of injury?

 

[Chester Loyal]

It all depends on how badly damaged the ligament was. I’m sure the recovery time can range from between 2 weeks and 6 months.

This thread is comedy gold, admin should archive this,lol
