Frankie 8,145 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Apparently Defoe and Lafferty both struggling to make the game so Mebude has been recalled. More likely someone like Kent or Middleton plays up top - ironically Celtic have been doing something similar with Burke lately. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,231 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Listening to SG in the interview re Defoe and Lafferty, it probably sounds more dramatic in writing than it really is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hopefully at least one makes the squad at least. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,603 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I wouldn't risk Defoe's hamstring on a home game against St Johnstone. I'd probably go with Arfield up front due to his finishing and link up play. I like Middleton but I think if we go with the high press I'd prefer Arfield to lead the line and be physical with the defence. Kent is an out and out winger, he doesn't have the finishing, passing or heading ability to play as a striker imo. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,603 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It really sums up our luck that when Morelos is suspended the 5 strikers who are behind him in the pecking order are unable to step up and take advantage; Defoe, Lafferty, Hardie, Rudden, Dallas. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,603 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Josh McPake started ahead of Mebude up front in the recent reserve game and is the same age. He's a number 10 style player but I wonder if he'll make the bench. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 I suspect Lafferty will be ok, probably even Defoe, if not then why not just give young Middleton a run through the middle? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
