Not seen any other thread on this so sorry if its already been posted.
But does anyone know how bad his injury is?
Could be a big miss if he's out for any sort of time.
Been one of our best players this season so hopefully will beback soon :agree:

I was away getting the pies when he went off but he was limping quite a bit...hopefully it's nothing serious...

If it is serious then we can bring Cregg in as a replacement

:agree: we'd be better putting Bamba in at defensive midfield and going with Hogg & Murray at the back

Could Welsh step into that role?

If McBride is out, I reckon Rankin will be a starter..

Would much rather see Cregg, Welsh or Thicot before Rankin..

Interesting one, not played since pre-season iirc but always thought there is a player hiding in there.

Let's just hope McBride is fit sooner rather than later.

Hope he is back ASAP - best player by a mile this season as far as consistency..single handidly held team together in a few eraly matches and is now giving Miller (who vanished when he went off) the room to play

Would like to see Welch get a run as he was the best of U19's last season when ever I saw them with Spoony a close second. He is also a natural holding midfielder who looked like Thomson did at the same age.

Failing that wouls agree that Bamba moved forward and Hogg / Murray at CH as all our other midfielders are too offensive minded

Cregg played the holding role v effectively against st mirren at ER, i think hes a natural replacement for mcbride to be honest.

Cregg and McBride were alongside each other the way i remember it, Cregg was putting himself about and doing what a defensive midfielder should. I certainly dont think of him as an attacking midfielder.

probably the one player i never wanted to pick up an injury as he has been the find of the season for me so far.as previously stated he, miller and zemamma had gelled well til zemammas injury looking as good as any midfield in spl.lets hope they both return as soon as possible.:flag:

Not the way i saw it, i dont think Yogi has ever played 2 defensive central midfielders in his life? Cregg was trying to get forward all the time. Cregg does not have the passing ability of McBride to do his job. He can get in amongst them, but his passing is a lot poorer.

So they are similar types of players then other than McBrides passing is better than Creggs? :confused:

Cregg can definitely fill McBride's role and should have been on ahead of Rankin yesterday.

No, not similar at all. One is a defensive player, who protects the back 4, and distributes the ball well. The other is a tackler who likes to get forward, but has little ability when on the ball. Thicot would be a better option.

Fair doo's Gary but I reckon Cregg could play the McBride role. I reckon he do the Matty Jack role at the same time too. :greengrin

I think Cregg and Miller would be a good partnership in the middle, with PC playing the role McBride has been playing! Ok PC's distrubution isn't as good as KM but he would defo get stuck in alot more that KM does (which is next to nil IMO) giving LM the opportunity to get forward and support a bit more!

Quite a vital part of the defensive midfielders job. The forwards can hardly keep hold of the ball for any decent amount of time, if we start giving it away further back, we will be in deep trouble.

So is winning the ball in that area of the park is it not? an area we have been kind of bullied in this season a few times from what i can remember, especially in the derby and we had to rely on the defence on numerous occasions!

Who's to say Cregg can't play that role, he has never really been given the opportunity to play there, i'm not saying he will be better in that role than KM its just i think he is the best option while he is out!

You're right Bamba does prefer to play at the back but it didn't stop Mixu playing him in midfield.

Of course it is, i wouldnt be against another midfielder coming in.

Me, i'm saying it, :confused: and giving my reasons why i think so. You seem to think he'd be the best option if he's out, i disagree.

I'm not saying he is the right option just he should be given a chance, i just think that someone in their who will fight and win a tackle beside a player of the obvious quality of Liam Miller would be a good combination!

Who would u play with him whilst McBride is out?:confused:

Id drop one of the forwards, probably stokes at this moment. Id play 2 up front Benji and riordan. If McBride is injured, i'd play 4 in Midfield, wotherspoon, Thicot to replace McBride, he's the nearest type of player imho. Miller and Galbraith.

Thought you said earlier that distrubution is quite a vital part of the defensive midfielders job, from what i've seen of him, Thicots passing is not too good and his ball winning skills, even though better than McBride are not as good as Creggs

But as you said it's all about opinions, thats what this sites all about afterall.

You're a very naughty man Blackpool, I might have to get Delabooze to sort you out.

Out of curiosity who would you play in the "McBride" role or do you think we should simply start with ten?

I think it may be the same as he sustained against Aberdeen which nearly caused him to miss the derby. No confirmation yet though.

Well some weeks, when Nish starts it feels like we have started with 10 men.:wink:
The player who replaces him if he is injured, has to be able to keep the ball, and want it under pressure, while giving the back 4 the protection they need. Thicot would be my choice, unless we changed the formation. I still think there are some, who don't realise what an important job, McBride does.

He does do an important job, works hard, always wanting the ball and looks to keep it simple, which is good. If only he could tackle he would be one of the best in his position in his league!

I was surprised Rankin came on yesterday given we already had a left sided midfielder in Stevenson on the park. I thought Thicot or Cregg would have been better option & Thicot's height would have been helpful. I think Cregg could easily do McBride role, come on now how many of us thought McBride would be our better Falkirk signing?? I doubt even the omniscient BH was cheering at McBride's signing!

I'd not even heard of him, but watching him since he's signed, i can say with a fair amount of certainty, Cregg couldn't lace his boots in that specialist position.

So how was it KM got his injury on Saturday ? I certainly didn't see him hurt himself while playing a pass or falling over with nobody near him. What I did see was KM getting stuck into a tackle on Jack Ross with both players holding nothing back resulting in both of them getting injured.

I have been to most games this season and that is certainly one thing KM does not do is get stuck in, he works hard to close down i will give him that but when it comes to making tackle he definetly goes in half-hearted, which could end up causing him injuries!

I wasn't at the game but it looked to me from the highlights like he done the injury himself maybe im wrong with that one!

I was at the game and your not maybe wrong you definitely (correctspelling)are wrong.If you really believe Yogi would play a player who can't tackle in such an important position you're kidding yourself on.

Agree: Cregg isn't as good a player and is more likely to get booked and therefore sent off.

It's his ankle again, getting scans this week!

I have a feeling he may be out for at least a few weeks :boo hoo:

But McGhee's correct, the tackle wasn't malicious and it didn't warrant a red card :rolleyes: :bye:

Creggs tackling is pretty radge you say, a fantastic attribute for a player supposed to be protecting the back 4,:rolleyes: not the type of player we need for that position. His passing is nothing special, and when he has the ball, he treats it like a hot potato, again not the type of player we need for that position, if we want to play the same way.

totally agree about Cregg's passing. At Hamilton as we tried to build from the back he just kept giving it back to Hogg when other options were on.

Hope McBride is back sharpish
