Im a big fan of Ryan Jack, but he's one we have cover for.
Guaranteed to be 6 weeks.Just seen there , big loss
He’ll be getting called biscuit knees soonYou’d think he would envy Jordan Rossiter’s knees from reading this thread.
He played 39 last season, 46 the season before.
Another season, same old story with Jack.
His fitness cannot be relied on. At some point(soon hopefully) we need to make him the back up and not the crucial piece in the midfield jigsaw the manager sees him as.
He’s played over 80 games in last 2 seasons, hardly in the category of “cannot he relied on”
But we've played over 120 games since Gerrard's arrival. Jack's played 88 of them. Compare it to Goldson and Tav, another two in the manager's core group. He's not in the same ballpark in terms of games played.
That's a huge chunk of games he's missed. You're talking 25% of the fixtures.
I don't know the answer here.
Apart from Goldson and Tavernier, has any other outfield player played more than 88?
It feels almost unfair to compare anybody to those 2 as their consistent level of fitness and performance is miles different to anyone else, not just in these 2 seasons but in comparison anyone at the club for years.
Bobby Williamson broken leg, ally Dawson fractured skull both early 80sOur injury problems go way back to the souness era around the kuynetsov time.
I really dont remember any bad ones in the first half of the 80s
He does seem to accumulate little 3 and 4 game bursts of injury. Probably more the timing that hurts. Hopefully we upgrade and add to the midfield in the days ahead. We are another knock or two away from a bad place.He’s played over 80 games in last 2 seasons, hardly in the category of “cannot he relied on”
He will be a massive loss to us over next few weeks, huge. Manager has been trying to get the board and Ross Wilson to accelerate signings in this area but seems we are not facilitating his wish
I know what you mean, clean breaks and recovery.Bobby Williamson broken leg, ally Dawson fractured skull both early 80s
Just googled williamson, only played 41 games for us.Bobby Williamson broken leg, ally Dawson fractured skull both early 80s
Can we sign some midfielders? We were calling out this last season? Already started this season and still no centre midfielder in.
Couldn’t watch the game.Have you not listened to Gerrard on RTV after Saturday?
