Was Grimmy not one of the players who had to isolate due to COVID ????
Does long COVID come into play ???
Have a mate who is a postman who tested +ve between Xmas and New Year and is still of work. He has a couple of days where he feels fine the the next day he cannot walk the length of himself without feeling totally shattered.
Wish Grimmy all the best and hopefully he’s back soon a good guy to have about the club.
Yip and the only team to miss penalties by the goalkeeper not saving them …… ????
If you can’t hit the target from 12 yards you don’t deserve to win a penalty shootout
The other young wingback …… take it your talking about Max Johnston, is injured picked up injury in the week after his debut … according to Alexander on podcast the other night.
Still think our biggest problem is our formation 4-3-3 just does not work for the players that we have.
Our front players Watt/Cole/Roberts/Long are no doubt our most talented, but there is no point playing a combination of 3 of them if it leaves you with a shite midfield that cannot supply decent service to them.
Also it is an absolute waste of a jersey playing Long on the wing ……unless we play 2 up top he should not be playing.
Last night was a classic example Cole and Long have pace to burn but our midfield couldn’t pass water and as for our defenders … we’re back to them hitting 40 yard cross field balls to the man in the moon.
Been following the mighty WELL for close on 65 years and the local derby for me and it always will be is Airdrie
For those on here who have never been to a game at the old Broomfield don’t know what they have missed
A real football stadium and the atmosphere at a New Years game was electric.
Many a time been ambushed by Section B going over the bridge on our way to the away end ……… Magic memories getting waved into them.
I’m with you, there is a player ( and a very good one at our level) in Long. But we’ve got to play him in his right position
As you rightly say in the 2nd half on Saturday he looked a totally different player from that of the 1st half.
WHY …… we went to 2 up front and this is where Long comes into his own ……… how many times since he came here has he been played in a 2 up top ???
Playing as a lone striker or on the wing in a front 3 just does not suit him and he seems to loose interest
