RossCSmfc Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Would be a massive bonus if he made the bench tonight, no idea on his current status though. Going by Div on Twitter, he could be involved tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 As long as JR isn't taking a chance. The last thing we need is for the lad to break down. It might mean an extra sub used and a step backward for Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ligament damage and playing 10 days later ! Either a massive risk (not worth taking even in our current predicament) or a better than announced actual diagnosis. Bone bruising alone would normally prevent playing 10 days down the line.

Froggie Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 This is a game we absolutely must take something from, therefore the best players have to be played. Saturday was a chance to steal a march on our nearest rivals but we didn't take it (nor did we deserve to), so any failure to gain points could be fatal if we are to countenance staying in this division. I will be hopping down to Greenock having not missed a game in weeks. The prospect of Morgan playing is a welcome one as he was missed on Saturday.

Have to disagree. Bone bruising is painful but might not significantly restrict movement. Padding might be enough to protect it. I remember when Cowboy McCormack broke his big toe, which presumably involved bone bruising, and did not miss a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just painful when you kick a ball though Cowboy McCormick no padding or painkillers played for weeks with a broken toe Now there was a hard b*st*rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Urquhart Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Spoke to him at game tonight. Said he is hoping to be back for Dundee Utd game. After this result, we might not need him again this season. Hope he gets fully fit as he can be a proper stand out player in this league next year.

It'd be ideal if we could secure safety then give him some game time before theend of the season. Then wave a nice long contract under his nose.

Sonny Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 From OS today ... Lewis Morgan says he believed he could get back in action before the season's end, but is surprised at how quickly he has managed to make his return. The winger made his comeback as a substitute in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Falkirk - just two weeks after ligament damage and bone bruising in the win over Ayr United looked to have ended his season. 20 year-old Morgan came on at the Falkirk Stadium in the 81st minute to rapturous applause from the away end and he confessed he's happy to return to the fold for the remaining three matches of the season. Speaking to stmirren.com after Saturday's draw, Morgan said: "I was a bit down-heartened when I heard that was my season over. But I was always positive and I knew I could get myself back and I'm just delighted to be back now. I'm not sure how I've managed to do it so quickly but I feel good so hopefully that's all behind me. "It's a wee bit surreal considering where I was two weeks ago to where I am now, but that's where you want to be. Especially after the derby win during the week, it just makes you want to get off the sidelines and play your part in the run-in. "You don't want to be the sidelines and out of the picture. You want to be back as soon as you can so I'm just happy to be back." Saints led Falkirk twice on Saturday before picking up what could be a precious point in the Buddies bid for survival. The winger admits they were pleased with a point coming off the back of the 4-1 win over Morton last Tuesday. It's one of the hardest places to come - they are second in the league for a reason. If you had looked at the fixtures at the start of the week, four points from six is a good return. The way the game has panned out we've given away two goals from set pieces which isn't ideal. We know that's something we'll look at this week and try to eradicate. On the whole, four points from six is a very good return. "We've three huge games coming up for the club starting with Dundee United this weekend. We know going in into all three games that we are going to try and win every one. There's a great confidence in the team now. We are resilient, we are very hard to beat and playing really good football so we'll be going into those games with all the confidence in the world and hopefully we can do a job. Stevie Mallan's second half strike in the derby win over Morton last week saw the midfielder hit his ninth goal of the season, putting him level with Morgan. "He keeps going on about it," Morgan joked. "He's saying that's him equalled me, but at least I can argue that I have done it in less games! It's a good hit from Stevie, he's got that in his locker. He's a goalscoring midfielder, you could see that last season. "Without speaking for him, we probably both should've had a few more over the course of the season. I'll definitely be trying to get more than him before the end of the season anyway." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mc Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 And apparently Scottish top flights have been watching him too according to the article. Hibs will have the privilege of watching him running past their defenders repeatedly next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
