billyg Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 People can be very dismissive on here. I'd like to see him back as well but Baird and Buckie are doing really well. Jack Ross talks about trust and how important it is that he trusts his players but also they trust him. My bet is that his trust for Baird and Buckie is growing week by week. I believe he reverted to 4 at the back at the weekend making me think he believes he can play them in his preferred formation. Not so sure , they were awful late on v Raith and if McCart was available he would have been playing imo . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambud Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not so sure , they were awful late on v Raith and if McCart was available he would have been playing imo . Where is McCart is he injured? I'd assumed he was not being picked. I don't remember either of them being bad against Raith. 2 of their goals were long range pings and the 3rd Eckersley gave them the ball.

Buchie definitely could have done better at 1st and 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he does come back but each passing week makes it more unlikely!! To make such an assesment you must know what is wrong with Gary so what's the problem to why you think we will never see Gary in a St Mirren shirt again ?

bazil85 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I doubt we'll see him back at all. Baird and or Bucho are both reliable partners for Davis when he comes back. Going by our league position they are both reliable without either. I personally think McKenzie is a better centre back than either of them when fit. If he does get back to full fitness I'm confident we'd see him back. I'm excited about McCart as well though. Even if McKenzie doesn't come back I would like to see him and Davis as our CB pairing. Baird has still had a good number of shaky moments this season and Buchanan has been very hot and cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Might stop all the rumour mongers and the (obviously not) in the knows idle speculation for a while. Shameful stuff. The sooner GMac is fit and back in the team the better no matter how long that takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the Devil's advocate here, but it isn't possible to have psychological problems and a physical injury at the same time? Anyway, bad news about the injury. Hopefully it clears up as soon as possible. Edited October 19, 2017 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , I think in the past , players have been rushed back to the game too soon and it has further damaged their health . Hope to see Gary back when he is fit and ready. .

We have been told through official sources it's an achillles injury so why doubt that. Why speculate someone may have mental problems when we have been given an official, plausible explanation ?

By the same token, the club are unlikely to lie about an injury that a player didn't have. Being vague about the reasons for him to not be featured would be far more likely.

Lord Pityme Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) And still the people who are completely UN-INFORMED continue to fan the flames of scurrilous, unfounded rubbish suggesting big G Mc has mental health issues. Take a look at yourself in the mirror people and for f**ks sake THINK..! you can make your own mind up you know, you dont have to be a sheep following the flock. Manager says achilles tendon injection, following up completely on his previous update saying he got an ankle injury in training... thats it!

Soctty Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Whatever is keeping Gary out of the team, he has been missed - despite our lofty position. Fingers crossed he is back soon - before Christmas would be a massive boost, especially if Harry is back in the next couple of weeks as well.

Call me naive if you like but I still think the official club statement of his injury is plausible enough not to doubt there maybe more to it. I'd just like to know what information anyone has to back up this rumour. There is speculation and there is speculation - mental health just isn't something I think people should be speculating about especially when we have an official statement stating exactly where Gary is injury wise. Bottom line is we will be a better team when he is back fully fit and playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary was immense last year But here is the thing , we have a 86% Win Rate without him and a 68% win rate since Harry last played. Both great players but my god including Mallon shows just how well JR and the team have done so far ................ Our shots to goal ratio is superb..... And we have goals all over the team. To think under Rae it was basically one option and remember TC built the team round Thommo. I doubt very much Jack would ever build a team round one player, more like 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
