Matthew`s injury happened on Friday evening, and the manager gave his initial reaction in the post-match interview, including the information that he had gone to hospital - presumably A&E on a Friday night!!!! The initial treatment he received there will probably need to be assessed by a specialist and/or the club`s medical staff to determine how long he will be out of action.
Since the manager`s post-match interview was published at 8pm on Saturday we have had Sunday and Monday, two days when the club`s office is closed - people are entitled to time off, although obviously some were still working on time-critical club business (eg Wotherspoon signing).
Interest in Matthew`s health is understandable - I`m interested too. But players don`t belong to the fans - they are individuals whose health is really their own business, and between them and their employer.
I do find it strange, given all the circumstances, that some people still feel the need to criticise the club for not issuing a medical bulletin.

Given the amount of discomfort he was in when he came off there is a fair chance he’s not been fully assessed yet if it turns out to be a broken collar bone as was first suggested depending on how it’s treated he might be back in a month maybe even sooner

12 weeks is a stretch a motorbike rider can snap is collar bone after a highside have it screwed back together and be back racing again in a few weeks and I’d wage that there will be more stress on the bone through racing a bike than playing football

After so long out he did fade last season but when he came back we had a lot of pressure games in quick succession. Finished joint top league scorer in the end I think.
There is no one else in our squad who could have scored the same goal as he scored at firhill. Was prob the best finisher at the club last season and might still be this season.
Hopefully he’s not becoming injury prone, at least the injuries appear unrelated.

Unfortunately managers live and die by their decisions on their squad i.e. Keeping players who aren`t good enough etc and signing duds. If you make a habit of doing this you won`t be around very long.
Mcpake has a massive 6 months in front of him. He had credit in the bank for winning the league although we weren`t a great watch. Last season he had injuries. If we are scraping the bottom of the barrel come Christmas time and our attendances drop (which happens when you`re struggling) he might be on a shaky peg.
Or we can be right in the mix. Only time will tell although the very very early signs aren`t looking good. 2 friendlies against lower league opposition and the struggle for goals seems to have stuck around.

I wouldn`t read too much into 2 preseason friendlies, Cammy. I recall when Peter Grant was appointed, we destroyed a couple of lower league teams in the new fangled League Cup.
Some fans (and Grant himself) thought we were going to wipe the floor with our Championship rivals......

"I don’t think there’s another player in our league, never mind our team, that offers you the threat, just constantly, that Matthew does"
quotes from McPake, there didnt seem to be a plan B last season when he was injured, maybe that is one of the areas they are looking at now.

While this may be the case, it then comes down to the manager and their tactics, style of play to get the maximum out of the players at his disposal.
Mcpake seems insistent to play 3421 putting players like kane Richie hosler and o halloran in positions they are comfortable. Has Mehmet and our centre backs trying to play out too much.
