I think Nicholson is the most similar to Slattery but probably only good for 45 mins or an hour. I’d be tempted to play Oscar and push Fadinger or Watt forward a bit and bring Nicholson on for secomd half or last 30 mins.
We’ve been playing JT as striker and I don’t think that’s working. Perhaps play more like we did against Celtic at Fir park or else Said to bench and Thor at striker with JT playing off him.
Hope Eli has is case packed and heading to the airport. We
will need him for the run in, especially next two games with Slats out.
perhaps the Slats fiasco will be a rallying call for the players amd JBA will have them well Drilled and fired up for this game. He’s had two weeks to work with JT on getting back to scoring form. If we can get back even close to our best then we should be able to secure all 3 points.
Not sure we are leaping to defense of our player. Most well fans were not pleased With Slattery
I think we are all up in arms regarding the OTT response from authorities. Or should I say inconsistent response.
there should be a boatload of these retroactive punishments for simulation. I’d expect to see it every week.
Slattery has no control over sending him off. Yes, it was embarrassing and as someone else noted, he should have had a yellow for simulation. It was the incompetent officiating team that decided to send the player off.
