This chat about Maloney is brutal.
He’s won 3/4 games including United and Aberdeen who were above us in the league.
Team confirmed
……………………… Macey……………..
……….McGinn…Rocky…Stevenson….
Cadden……JDH………….Newell……Doig…
………………Mueller………..Campbell….
……………………….Nisbet…..
Hanlon out injured now. McGinn returns.
Paul McGinn is no longer vice captain I assume.
Stevenson as captain, I approve…
We really have been punished by Porteous silly ban
I really dont see what campbell brings to the team but the manager clearly does
No sure where the creativity is coming from.
Not good news that Hanlon’s injured.
Missing porteous. Also might’ve went with Henderson ahead of Campbell who’s been pretty poor recently
Seems Hanlon being injured was true then.Quote:

Rocky signs and is only fit for 1
Clarke signs and immediately injured
Hanlon now out injured
Sign a striker who can’t get a work permit
He’s had to reshuffle the team a lot.
I really hope this post comes back to bite me on the arse but I don’t get why Campbell keeps starting when games continually pass him by without him really contributing anything.
He doesn’t do anything wrong, he just doesn’t really do anything.
Absolutely posting this hoping it works as a sort of reverse hex, but I still think it as well though.

Tbf he’s signed a striker who he knew probably wouldn’t have been fit and ready to go. I have no doubt it’s a great signing but in January you really need players who’re coming in to be fit and ready to goQuote:

I actually like him because he plays forward, gets in the opposition face and takes a risk.Quote:

He also won the ball for Doidge’s offside goal from pressing high and aggressively.
Motherwell’s front 3 of Van Veen, Robert’s and shields will be a handful.
Need to stop the supply to them and stop them early.
Does he not like Big Daz?, or is he carrying a knock as well
When was HAnlon injured and how long's he out for?Quote:

I have to say I thought the same but that's usually when we turn in a performance, here's hoping :aok:Quote:

( plus Rocky will score an outrageous goal from a corner tonight)
Not much else we could do personal wise
Hanlon and porto are big losses

Our bench is now noticeably stronger. And that is without Hanlon, Porto, Magennis and Melkersen.Quote:

Yep, considering the players we are missing (Clarke too) squad looks much betterQuote:

it's astonishing how many injuries we've had in the last 18+ months, i can't remember anything like this
Have a feeling Campbell may partner Rocky in the centre of defence.
It’s only 2 different from the team I picked, Rocky in for Hanlon and Campbell in for Wright so I shouldn’t complain, especially as one of those was enforced.
Campbell appears to be a favourite which is a bit strange. I don’t think he’s a bad player but he’s been shoehorned in all over the place so far when there were more obvious solutions available.
Can’t say I’m confident and I don’t love the approach where we wedge players into a system but I guess we’ve got to go with it.
Not sure where Campbell plays unless Maloney has changed the formation.
Back three of Stevenson, Rocky and McGinn I'd have thought?Quote:

Be interesting to see how we line up.
A midfield 3.Quote:

The BBC has Hallberg in place of Campbell, and he is not listed as a sub.
So have the Sky Sports appQuote:

He's out injured, 6 to 8 weeksQuote:

Reverse hex never worked. Another game exactly as predicted from Campbell. Never did anything wrong but just doesn’t do anything.Quote:

If either of them are anywhere near our team we won’t achieve anything IMO.
