Did anybody else fear the worst when they heard Ryan Jack was going to be out for weeks? I really think he will be badly missed. He is one of these players that takes care of the dirty work. Breaking up play and linking the defence and the front men. Don't get me wrong O love Kamara. He is a special talent and seems to stroll through a match unflustered. The only problem for me is Kamara does not have the physical presence that Jack does. I love a combative midfielder who doesn't get pushed around and can take care of himself and others around him. I don't see where the physicality will come from during Jack's spell on the sidelines. Edmondson? Or even Balougoun? Or can Scotty Arfield play this role? Davis is not that type of player. Does anybody think we are stepping up the search for a couple of midfielders to make sure we are well covered?

Seeker, do you think McCrorie could have stepped up if he had remained.
15 Sep 2020 21:58:44
Thought Kamara looked better without Jack there tbh. We will miss that physicality without Jack but from the games so far, everyone else playing well so I don't see it being a major problem. Airfield looked really sharp when he came on. Still need an extra man for center mid.

Aye Bankie, I feel McCrorie might have played a part in the CM role. Of course we don't see the full package in the way the boss does and we have to trust the fact that he knows best. I'm sure we will be looking at bringing in a more physical type. Where's Terry Hurlock or wee McCall when you need them?

I get that huey, and not a lot of teams will play against us as physically as that mob from up the road so in that sense you are right. I always like at least one or two more physical types. They are out there.

Would love a Terry hurlock but don't think you would get away with him in the modern game. You heard the rumour of him unsettling Dave Mackay by giving him a piece of paper in the tunnel pre match? It was the dinner menu at the royal infirmary 🤣.

If Docherty hadn't been allowed to leave he could have stepped in for Jack.

I think this area is ready made for Arfield now. he's one of my fave players and having met him, a nice guy. But as you wish, he isn't afraid to get stuck in with the added bonus he can play a bit too. Agree kamara is better in a slightly more advanced role. But yeah Arfield would be my choice to replace jack. I think Davis n kamara n Arfield will be the trio. Then Davis, jack and aribo.

I remember Terry Hurlock standing staring at Paul McStay and mouthing something. The fear on McStay's face said it all. Rangers went on to win and McStay was very average that day, whatever Terry said really got to him.

I thought we were better with kamara and davis seeker. I don't think we will miss jack or aribo. Can't say we have missed morelos either to be honest. I think hagi is getting better game by game as is roofe. Balogun is really the only player injured just now that would improve our starting 11ðŸ‘.

Snell it was Gary MacKay Dave MacKay would have taken Hurlocks head off ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó ´ó ¿ðŸ‡¦ðŸ‡ºâš½ï¸ðŸ˜ŽðŸ‘.

Haha Dave McKay, I was thinking about that for ages, and starting to question my memory.

I think Jack should play if he is fit. He does a lot of dirty work and links up well with the rest. And he has inproved going forward. Kamara is some player as well and I must admit I would find it hatd to leave him out the side.
