oot for three months
I'm not sure we'll miss him that much to be honest but it's quite a stretch from him coming off "feeling his hamstrings" to being out 3 months. Hamstrings are usually six weeks aren't they? Probably means in effect he will be out until after the January shutdown.
As an aside Bryson out for a month. Not sure we will miss him much either to be honest.
Hopefully means we will pick a more attack minded midfield now
Mclennann and mcginn wide with hedges in the hole
More attacking than have 3 holding players at CM
How far away is Gleeson from returning?
Ahh the return of Gleesoo to rescue us!
I'm still none the wiser on Gallagher's best position, but I'm pretty certain it's not central midfield - at least he's fast and runs in a forward direction unlike most of the rest of our midfielders.
I suspect we may get Vyner converted to a defensive midfielder alongside Ferguson, with Hedges, McLennan and McGinn ahead of them. Gallagher may play, but I think he had an injury too - they thought it was potentially a broken leg, so even if it isn't, it must've been a bad one for them to even think that.
Instead of having 3 defensive minded midfielders (Ojo/Bryson/Ferguson) and 3 attack minded players in the front 6 I would hope it would 2 defensive (Ferguson and either Campbell or Vyner - hopefully Campbell) and 4 attacking (either Hedges and McGinn/McLennan wide with Wilson playing off Cosgrove or McLennan and McGinn wide with Hedges playing off Cosgrove)
Jeezo...they are dropping like flies. Hopefully he is back in the squad quicker.
He shouldn’t be missed though as I personally would ditch the 2 sitting midfielders and have us playing with more of an attacking threat. Let the defenders defend and the rest of the team create goals.
