Mantis Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 What was the **** point in even playing him yesterday? We all know he was playing through another injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 That carnage of a midfield yesterday is obviously what would have happened weeks ago if McGinn had been rested. It's like the rest of them don't have a basic understanding of where to be or what space to take up. The state of it. This could finish us off if Jack isn't moved back to the middle immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Scotland Euro play-offs 26th March. You can bet he'll have that circled in his calendar. Wonder if we'll still have a sniff of staying up by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought McGinn reminded me of bryan robson. in more ways than one it seems. yeah, fractures from a fall are notoriously sustained through over exertion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted December 22, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2019 He got injured because of 50% the ref - he was fouled 1 min before and it wasn't given so he went looking for revenge but... 50% himself - even if he was wronged, don't do something as stupid as that Nothing to do with him 'playing injured'. A tear in his thigh (or whatever it was) didn't make him go flying in needlessly on the sideline. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Absolute stupid tackle from him yesterday now he’s fractured his ankle cause he seen red as the ref didn’t give him that foul just before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Really don't understand people blaming the knock he was carrying, or the referee for not calling the foul prior. McGinn was injured with a combination of stupidity and bad luck. It's a massive, massive loss. The midfield was pathetic without him yesterday. We can fix some of that by moving Grealish back inside, but we now need to prioritise a centre midfielder in January along with a striker and a winger. What a crap weekend this has turned out to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Have to agree that while the injury was unlucky he brought it on himself a bit. I've said it before... John needs to manage his own game better. Needlessly charging around is sapping his energy and has now also contributed to a bad injury! Anyway get well soon John and at least it wasn't severe ligament damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players have to take responsibility, if they're wronged by the ref they shouldn't be flying into tackles like that, McGinn is now learning this the hard way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 A blessing I disguise hopefully ( trying to find a positive)... Midfield is unbalanced at present and just isn’t working , his enforced absence means we will have to cope without him and we should revert to 4231 as 433 isn’t working with Conor/luiz/ Nakamba rotating. Would rather McGinn was playing obviously but it’s not all doom & gloom . I also feel jack should mix between being out on the wing and central depending on the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Gutted, because carrying an injury or no injury, we’ll miss him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Get well soon Meatball! Hopefully his absence forces Smith to rethink the midfield. We need Jack back in the centre and a change of formation. I still believe we’ve got players good enough to stay up, but they need a formation that works better than they are currently doing (amongst other things). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 What horrible news. I feel sorry for John and for us. For me, this will lead to us needing to look for a midfield player as well as a striker next month to save our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just met McGinn at the King’s Head in Knowle, he was on crutches, he was smiling, I shook his hand, he seemed like a very nice, likeable chap. I said to him ‘your goal against Sheffield Wednesday was brilliant’ just to be original £3m we paid for him, nice one Brucey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
