Its not been said, but I assume a broken jaw will sideline him for a wee while. He certainly won't be able to eat at the moment.  

Its a bit concerning though that we're playing so many young lads in games we should be using to prepare for the impending Conference League ties. Giving the development squad some gametime is no bad thing though, just not quite so much of it just now.  

Spot on Dave, im all for giving the academy plsyers game time but AJ should be concentrating on what our 1st choice starting 11 will be, the ECL game is in two weeks and the league starts three weeks today.

For me the squad looks a bit threadbare in certain areas, cenral  defence, goal keeper and striking options up top so i hope our recruitment team are working hard to fill the gaps.

Team for the game v HB will be:

Connelly

JK SOD Moormann Longelo

Watt Fadinger

Said Just RCC

Maswanhise (If fit) if not 1 of Vogt or Stama

I think its too early to say. The Genk friendly next week should give us a better idea. Will our better players have moved on by the first HB game? Will we see more arrivals by then? Was Stama taken off injured against Aarhus? Little mention so far of Longelo or Thor in pre season games. So many unknowns at the moment.

Priestman will play.  Has SOD, Longello or jonny K featured yet?

SOD and JK both started v Aarhus, Just will come in for Preistman as he is our best player, Longelo I take your point on but if he's fit he plays. You'd hope he gives the 11 he plans on starting v HB 60 against Genk minus Just who he'll probably only let play 45 as he only came back on Thursday

I would hope that unless negotiations for any of our better players are at a significantly advanced stage, then all of them should be playing v HB (unless injured).

I get that we are a selling club, and I get that we cant stand in the way of players progressing their careers, we literally sell ourselves as the vehicle for that, but deals can fall through and the club has a duty to the fans first and foremost.

Hopefully by then we will have conned some team to take Stamatelopolous from us, hes worse than a man short.

Id have Thor and the new boy Vogt up top alongside TJ if hes fit to play.

McGhee, Hendry, Stama, and unfortunately McGinn should all be written off now, and replacements need to be identified quickly. We can’t be going into the HB game with the squad looking anything like it likely will in less than two weeks’ time.

I'd also suggest the team that starts the HB game will be pretty different from the team that starts against Hibs.
