Hamstring injury for Paddy

Mickey Mellon just said on dee darr. Shame that, because we need any quality we have out on the pitch. O'Grady 'not quite there' yet. Butland and Ramage both put their hands up for their goal. Also said we needed someone to get on the end of the crosses we were putting in and give their 2 big lads something to think about. hence Mvoto.

 

Hamstring or heartstring? Maybe you misheard?

 

Well maybe he ought to think before he speaks since he started with Pedersen on the bleeding wing...

 

No I heard right. You don't see many players continuing with a Hamstring Injury.

 

I think not having Paddy on the pitch is sometimes a good thing, the players look for him far too much and often play it to him when he doesn't have any space. After 60 minutes he is totally ineffective as he's knackered and the opposition have worked him out.

When he's back fit, we ought to try bringing him on for the last half hour rather than starting him.

 

Yes strange one that. However, he played more central in second half and we got absolutely nothing from their centre halves.

 

He went central as soon as paddy came off injured.

I hate to think how we would have continued if paddy had stayed on

 

Not a dig at paddy that btw. Its just mm seemed to be forced into a change which put Pedersen in his rightful position.

Only then to take him off... really dont get this constantly taking him off.

 

Well that's the deal with Paddy, You may have to wait for that bit of quality, but it's worth waiting for. He also put some quality crosses into their box, that came to nothing.

 

Yep. Agree. See above. I wasn't meaning a dig at him.
