I remember seeing Scott Wilson in the main stand before a game, when Stephen Kenny was the manager. I asked him why he wasn't playing and he said he'd felt a wee twinge in training on the Thursday. He then added, "The boss wanted me to play but I said, Nah, better not risk it." And with that he gave me a big smile and a wink. Make of that what you will..... I think a few players downed tools under Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 A terrible performance on Saturday but a great result. Any idea if Martin is injured again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't if he was injured or ill but he was unable to train last week. The lad hasn't had much luck on both counts, throughout his time at EEP. Edited April 18, 2022 by GG Riva Autocorrect error.

Breen or jones at centre half isn’t ideal going into 2 huge games if Donaldson can’t make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a definite pen. I didn't think so at the time as he seemed to go down really easy but what I didn't see, which is visible on the highlights, is Donaldson grabbed his arm and yanked him over.

Raymie Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Donaldson didn't really complain, if at all? That's a good sign that it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my seat though, it appeared he'd gone down with no contact whatsoever as the arm pull was on the opposite side and therefore couldn't see it.

I'm glad you're not picking the team, RP. 🙂 You'd leave out a player who has been playing regularly and replace him with another who has featured only occasionally, so he's short of match fitness, couldn't train before the last game and be playing out of position to boot. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards came into the Ayr half and misplaced his pass at least four times in the second half, he was lucky Ayr didn't punish us on the break. Lewis Martin can play left back,he wouldn't be out of position? Edited April 21, 2022 by rosythpar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Martin can play left back,he wouldn't be out of position? A week's training amounts to approx 3 days (full days Tues, Thurs. halfdays Mon, Fri) not nearly enough to be match fit or match sharp. Also Martin's preferred position is in central defence but I agree he has filled in well at both right and left back. Still wouldn't drop Edwards for a half fit replacement. It could backfire big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Edwards passing and his positioning/ body shape to receive passes both need to be worked on. Otherwise he is developing nicely. If Donaldson is out I would be majorly concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
