bluedan 93 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 No footy in Scotland this weekend...good for Bougherra, Papac, Lafferty, Jelavic and all the others carrying niggling injuries. You forgot to mention Beatie and Webster ;-) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 not only is it good to have a 2 week break to let those injured get fitness back but those who have played every game will be recharging their batteries. That is huge for the likes of Weir, Davis, McCulloch and Miller. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,186 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yep, this should help our squad's fitness levels but I'm worried a lack of match practice may also affect other players' momentum. A tough match in Turkey next week should help that though before we visit Inverness for another difficult away game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 "SPL in common sense shocker". Good for injuries, could be bad for fixture build-up although apparently this is going to be the worst of the winter weather. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineflyer 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hopefully our say in the Europa League will be short. We do not need fixture congestion like we saw three years ago. Enjoyed the CL but spl is our only real objective. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 For ease of qualification to the CL in future we need a good run to limit the recent damage to our club and country coefficients. I for one, would love a good run to the latter stages of the Europa and any induced tiredness is countered by improvement of players' abilities from extended European experience. I think the run a few years ago, while not immediately helping our Euro results in the last two seasons, has certainly seen us mature as a team at home as well as bring in decent money on the sale of few players who had their standing increased. Plenty of European football is also one of the last few attractions we can offer to prospective players. We've no hope now of doing much in the CL, so I personally would like our aspirations to frequently be decent Europa performers. It's now the our REAL European cup for teams without Disney style incomes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
