Barisic - Thursday?

[MSF]

Any indication he will make it? Not seen anything from the manager.

Its imperative he does if we want to progress, not just in an attacking sense but defending too as if he doesn’t Kent will spend most his time tracking back and doubling up on Trincao to help the flaws of Halliday or Flanagan.

 

[Its-Sebo]

God, I hope so.

Didn't Gerrard say he was close but not quite there for this weekend? I may be making that up.

 

[Arkyblue]

Be a big loss if he doesn’t make it

 

[giffnockloyal]

Be a big loss if he doesn’t make it

We are also missing Jack for Thursday. Can't afford Barisic to miss out as well

 

[HenningBerg]

WIthout Jack on Thursday already , we really will be up against it . We need Bjorna to play .

A 0/0 to me I’d bite the hand off you just now for Thursday and take our chances for an away score draw .

Forgot Jack was suspended, that is a gutter.

 

[NDC bear forever]

The thought of a £30m player vs Halliday or Flanagan makes me shudder ( no offence to Halliday he just isn’t that good)

 

[Kylebeg]

Hopefully. Think Halliday has done ok but not as good as Barisic. A bit like I felt Polster did ok when covering for Tavernier but not at the same level.

 

[GeckoBear29]

God i fucking hope so.

surely if he was a late fitness test away from
Wednesday he’ll be available

 

[BWO]

Hopefully he just wasn’t risked today

 

[bofa72]

Hopefully is fit for Thursday.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Hope so. To be brutally honest, the challenge on him looked fairly innocuous. Surely we're just being precautionary.

 

[AlanM1981]

You don’t get a lot out of Gerrard, I think he wasn’t taking the chance of any flare ups today and he’ll start on Thursday.... hopefully

 

[bluetwo15]

Even if fit will he last the full 90? What is the back up plan ?

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Yes, hope he makes it Halliday did well today I thought but Barisic quality.

 

[GeckoBear29]

Hope so. To be brutally honest, the challenge on him looked fairly innocuous. Surely we're just being precautionary.

It wasn’t because of the challenge, he twisted his hip reacting to a bad pass back from Edmundson

 

[GeckoBear29]

Even if fit will he last the full 90? What is the back up plan ?

Would imagine so he’ll only have been out 10 days and our fullbacks are easily the fittest in the team. Jack lasted full 90 on Weds and had been out longer

 

[Arkyblue]

I forgot Jack got sent off

 

[NewUlster19]

We need Borna to pull through - hope he is at the training center wrapped in the most expensive cotton wool available on the market

 

[HandsomeHead]

Forgot Jack was suspended, that is a gutter.

I suspect Kent will be back in with Alfie through the middle and Hagi on the right then Davis, Kamara and Arfield the midfield trio.

 

[Arkanoid]

Aye
And if Gerrard's substitution of Kent doesn't answer your question? Then what?

 

[GF7]

I suspect Kent will be back in with Alfie through the middle and Hagi on the right then Davis, Kamara and Arfield the midfield trio.

Pretty much. Kent is the one with pace so will be the ball carrier.

Aribo or Hagi will be the other of the front 3.

 

[Polar bear]

An

God, I hope so.

Andy for me.

forgot he was suspended!!

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

We need him to be fit in order for us to have any chance of going through. The thought of a 30 million pound player in trincao going up against Halliday or Flanagan gives me the fear

 

[BWO]

[Korova Milk Bar]

Huge loss if he doesn’t play.

 

[GeckoBear29]

We need Borna to pull through - hope he is at the training center wrapped in the most expensive cotton wool available on the market

Heard he has moved into the cryotherapy chamber for the week.

 

[mountloyal]

We miss him massively. Now a major player for us. The quicker he's back the better.

 

[raywilko]

Without him, we’ll struggle to score. So we’re fucked.

 

[JMTrangers]

Since the turn of the year, we've had just two games where both Tavernier and Barisic have played - both have been wins, 2-1 v Hibs and 4-1 v Hamilton. It's absolutely vital that we get both fit as quickly as possible, otherwise we just don't get enough in attack from our full backs and our attacking players get crowded out as a result.

 

[Tangled Up In Blue]

It's gone quiet on Borna which is quite worrying , hopefully hell be fit though as hed be a big miss .

 

[Albertz Loyal]

I reckon he was taken out the picture today so he would be 100 ready for Thursday.

 

[Larkytrueblue]

Hope so it will be a struggle without him

 

[Vice]

These games are made for a Barisic

 

[Jase]

Sincerely hop he makes it. It’s our home leg an he is crucial to our attacking threat.

I reckon if we don’t keep a clean sheet then we need at least 4 to put us in the driving seat.
