cristo Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 From BBC Sport "Long-term St Johnstone injury victim Brian Easton had to pull out of a comeback game after just 20 minutes." Was this yesterday's reserve game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ferg Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Always likely to pick up a niggle or two until he's fully fit. Thankfully unrelated and not sounding serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SconeSaintees Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hopefully we need him back fully fit to put pressure on current automatic pick for that position, who at best has been indifferent this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Wouldn't feel right to chuck Easton on the scrapheap when hes still carrying an injury and unlikely to get signed up. Then again, hes probably a major earner and hasn't played in 15 months. I'd give him the offer of a one year deal, on reduced terms, but that would backfire if the injury flared up and he was ruled out for the whole season again. Dont envy who makes the decision on that.

Agree,we did that with Alan Ferguson & got a lot of stick. We have almost two months to see how his injury holds up so we should be able to make an informed judgement. We can't afford to carry passengers. We have enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the full story re Ferguson. When he was bleating to the Press how Saints had supposedly shafted him, he never once mentioned that he had knocked back the contract on offer before he got injured as he wanted more money. Ferguson is a player that I totally despise. If he hadn't been so greedy he would have had a signed contract to fall back on. blueheaven and HOODLUM65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 It looks like Easton played as a centre back for the reserves. No idea if that's because it involves less running than full back and hes being eased back in, or if it's a move the manager wants to make full time.

Now that teams have sussed the way we play out from the back and cut off the supply to Kerr and focus on Shaughnessy who has been pretty gash recently it should hopefully stop us passing the ball straight to the opposition quite so much. He also wouldn't be a bad shout for captain. Staying fit though is inevitably key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute knob of the highest order, remember sitting at Celtic one Sunday in the old stand and he was in amongst the saints support was injured again!, kept cheering Celtic, was politely told to shut the fook up, karma when it went tits up for him!!
