Not seen the interview itself but seen mention that Goodwin is "pushing Iovu and Camara"

Much as I'd love both these players to be fit for Saturday is it wise that the manager is "pushing them" to be fit? To me that's a bit worrying.

Strain and Graham however are definitely out.

Strange that Graham has apparently told people he's gonna be fine

 
It was a strange quote assigned to JG to be fair.
Don't think I've ever heard of a coach pushing his players to be fit.
They're either going to be be passed fit or not.

Camara and Iovu training so hopefully they’ll be passed fit.

Good news but I don’t want Camara injured again for the derby.

If he's fit and it won't jeopardize long term fitness yes.
Otherwerwise definite no no.

Richards

SCH
Bert
Sevelj

Nammo
Camara
Sibbald
Ferry

Sapsford
Watters

Not sure which thread to put this in so I'll stick it here.
Pre match interview with JG, a few interesting quotes

"Saturday may be too soon for Camara and Iovu"

"Some of our better players are attracting a lot of interest"
"We want to add to the squad and come out of the January window stronger"

And interesting that he went out of his way to defend the Sports Science team
"Other clubs with bigger resources having the same problems we are"

Our starting 11 and bench could look a bit thin tomorrow.
I thought SCH looked great v Hibs, must surely start but I'm hard pressed to name an effective side.

Camara only if fit.

Better players attracting interest - Sapsford will go for 7 figures. If not this window later.     Ferry I think we've held back by keeping him.

SCH - totally - at home, at ease, positionally aware, reads the game, don't know what Jim's been stuffing around at. Like Stirton mebbe - too much cotton wool ?

He's either fit or he's not surely? If fit he plays,if not he doesn't.

 
Sapsford was, by his own admission, not fit for the last derby at Dens but played anyway. Most players wouldn't have.

No starting place for Sam CH

Unbelievable from this manager.

2 keepers on the bench according to DUFC official
Midfield 2 of Svelje and Sibbald.
Watters preferred in the middle to our best CF who starts out wide

More Mellonball incoming 🤓
Or am I being too harsh

Absolutely accurate based on what we have seen first half.

Disjointed athegither, but then what d'ye expect with a the injuries.  Crying out for Camara, Stevenson.

Esselink, sorry you're a red pudden compared wi young Sam.

And as for bringing on Moller ??  May as well take a man off and leave it at that.  Only good thing you can say is he keeps one ae them occupied other than that weak as piss.

Watters goes off ?  If this is another injury get him back tae Bolton, Bury, Bradford Park Avenue or wherever.
Gives it his all but no good tae us wi mortgage on physios table.

Honestly, why is it that much of an annoyance? We are severely depleted and it was probably just to fill the bench. Hardly the big issue though is it?
