As per title Morelos missing next 3 games due to red card and is also banned for the Stranraer game should we be worried or will Defoe do the business

He'll miss two league games - normal suspension for a two yellow red card is one gsme, but he will get 2 games cos its his second red of the season. Prob St Mirren home and Hearts away
 
Should be able to appeal yellows if a player gets sent off with two. His first yellow was never one and now a cheating bastard of a ref has made it so we're without Alfie for the first two league matches back from the winter break
 
If he misses the Stranraer game, hopefully we don't use Defoe in that game either. Need to keep him fresh for the league games.
 
The cup game is because of 2 bookings last season in the games v Aberdeen.

Remember Clancy booked him for diving to put him out a semi v Celtic if we had won?

Yes as it would have been the next game in that competition
 
He has a ban carried over from last season in the Scottish Cup (booked in each of the two cup games against the Sheep).

He misses a game because of the two yellows leading to a red on Sunday. His second booking on Sunday also takes him to the 6 bookings in the first 19 league games threshold, so he will get an additional game ban for that.

So, he misses - as things stand - 1 cup game (Stranraer) plus the first two league games after the break.
 
We really need to use Stewart on these games, whilst Defoe is a good predator striker, he is not a player to lead the line. Stewart can do this role no problem.

My issue with bringing another striker in is that they need to settle and could be a hit or miss, Stewart knows the league and the grounds concerned.
 
Great idea, have him rusty for the league games! He'll play v Stranraer and we'll work on that in winter camp.

He won't be rusty. He played last week v Hibs having hardly played in the two months previously.

We can't afford him getting injured by playing him v Stranraer.
