Erskine out - osteo pubitis - going in for an op.

Never heard of it, so looked  it up.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteitis_pubis#Symptoms
 

From that article: 

"The Australian Football League has taken some steps to reduce the incidence of osteitis pubis, in particular recommending that clubs restrict the amount of bodybuilding which young players are required to carry out, and in general reducing the physical demands on players before their bodies mature.Osteitis pubis, if not treated early and correctly, can more often than not end a sporting individuals career, or give them an uncertain playing future."

Now, how often have we heard criticism of our young players with the solutiom being 'get down the gym'?

And the second part: I don't have great faith in our medical perfomance over the past few years, so should Erskine seek independent help?

Tek not trying to have a go here but if Spittal & Dow dont get dropped/rested after last week they never will.
 

Spittal is our top scorer. 
 

 
And in fairness to Dow (after having had a pop at last week's performance) he was just back after a layoff and had missed a good chunk of pre-season so was bound to be a bit rusty and off the pace.

On reflection he was by no means the worst performer in the second half against Killie (he was pish in fist half tho)

Dow had actually played well 2nd half until the horror miss.  Granted he was totally annonymous first half though.

I'd go for same as last week tbh with the only change being Bodul in for McKay if he is injured.

ICT will try and win the game in the first 20 min we need all the height and strength we have on the park at the start.
For their own good Dow and Spittal need a break, niether of them, particularly Dow  give the fullbacks any cover. We need a far more defensive outlook against ICT to have any chance. 
 

I swithered as to put Souttar in the team or not but find these type of physical matches he performs poorly in.

He normally plays well ironically against the better sides like Aberdeen and Celtic because they allow you more time on the ball and it's more of a football match.

Other than that looks a good XI for me.
 

Zwick
McGowan Morris Donaldson
Taggart Rankin Kuhl Spittal
Bodul
Mckay



F all faith in Jackie to get a result regardless of the team he puts out. That's what I'm going for from the random team generator

3-5-2 only really works if you have wingers who are full of energy and can provide cover at the back.  We dont have the personnel for that system.  Same because I love a good 3-5-2.

If we get beat tomorrow surely to christ he'll get sacked?????

Aye, but I don't want Morphman as manager. 
 

Your not seeing the bigger picture - with morph's system we'd get to bring on an extra sub which would confuse the fuck out of big Yogi

Put up plenty of great posts and no one comments. Accidently put 10 men in your starting line up once and everyone is on you.

You're clearly all keyboard warriors, it's fine lines and fine margins between having 10 or 11 men on your Tekel Towers team sheet

Now I've changed my mind and DO want you to manage the club!
 
Sorry Morphman - I hadn't noticed the earlier post highlighting your wee omission - was just a wee bit of banter on my part but might have given the impression was jumping on you there.

Apologies if you thought I was having a go

Nah mate I was joking haha, just using the Jackie Mac book of excuses to deflect attention from my mistakes.

These excuses include "keyboard warriors", "thin lines and margins between victory and defeat", "learning curves" etc etc.

I need to be more streetwise when picking my starting XI or starting 10 in future ;)

Now I've changed my mind and DO want you managing United.
