Pwoite Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 41 minutes ago, gecko said: The Utd game this Saturday? or the away fixture in Jan? 😉 In all honesty, he might be fit, but he isn’t match fit, and probably won’t get a chance to be. Even if we start Archer, is there even room for him on the bench, with recent purchases, and, at best, he has to be no higher than third choice as ‘striker’, whatever that might mean to Russell. Best he can hope is to stay uninjured, gain strength through training, and hope for a loan in January to get game time. Unless he puts in some amazing performances in training, I really don’t think we will see much of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he puts in some amazing performances in training, I really don’t think we will see much of him. If he's fully fit I don't doubt he'll get game time and probably his first taste will be during the week against Everton. We don't have a glut of strikers banging in goals so they'll all get their chances and the ones who show they carry a threat will get the most starts. I think the starting team will begin to evolve very quickly over the next few games. Hopefully we'll develop into a decent side and get some wins under our belt. It's a steep learning curve and we need to show rapid progress. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSA96 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Some more Ross Stewart chat in the embargoed bit of the press conference for the written press. Could be involved against United, will be a selection decision rather than a fitness decision, but will definitely be involved against Everton at Goodison and will play up there in the cup game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Well, this is an improvement on the ‘he will never play football again at a high level’ comments from some posters.

We were given excuses to do with the grass in Spain not being right for him and all sorts of shit. There's almost certainly more to this than is being let on, he's obviously got some sort of chorionic long-term condition that he's having to manage. He'll be advised to retire in the next year, I'm sure of it. On 28/08/2024 at 17:50, Turkish said: Yep he was apparently working on his strength training back here. Load of bollocks. He’s clearly fucked and will likely never play again at a decent level. On 03/09/2024 at 19:37, bangkoksaint said: Just looking at his injury history I honestly don’t see him coming back and playing at this level again. An expensive mistake? Yes’s but it’s sweetened by the fact we off loaded Lavia when we did and for what we got for him. On 03/09/2024 at 20:31, Harry_SFC said: Yeah, I'm just not convinced he's going to play another game for us. RM keeps feeding us bullshit about how he's going to be back soon but there's been nothing to back that up. On 04/09/2024 at 00:28, Saint Fan CaM said: I’m very surprised there’s been no decent journo digging around and finding out what’s happening with him. It’s been such a long time for what on the surface appears to be a relatively minor injury or even injuries, there must be a decent juicy story somewhere. If it’s true that he’s been out playing golf then there’s something fishy going on. On 04/09/2024 at 01:04, trousers said: Most, if not all, local journos tend to prefer to ingratiate themselves with the club they report on, as they know that rocking the boat is likely to cut them adrift. I'd be surprised if most journos don't already know the full story with regards RS and are keeping it under their hat to avoid souring relations with the club, which is understandable I guess. These quotes are just from the last 17 days. Yes the club don't always make the best decisions, and aren't always blessed with luck. But perhaps after last season's turnaround and promotion, Adam Lallana showing he can still play a bit, and 'Ross Stewart rising miraculously from the dead' we might just cut them a bit of slack for the next month or two... Bloody well done Ross for getting back to fitness and playing your first 34 Premier League minutes; even if it was under particularly difficult circumstances. I'm looking forward to seeing him play regularly, as his style could work well for us, and certainly offers a contrast from BBD/Archer/Armstrong/Cornet/Tall Paul. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came on as a sub at Huddersfield and we didn’t see him for months. Started preseason training and suddenly was out again for a couple of months. One 20 minute sub appearance does not make a fully fit season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done a twenty minute cameo for us before, let's hold back the champagne until he's done 5 or 10 matches uninterrupted. Worth remembering he is only proven at L1 level, he has only a handful of Championship games under his belt. So it's a lot for him to do to step up. But he can't be worse than the more "experienced" BBD, surely? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
