Games coming thick and fast this week so hopefully he’s fit for Tuesday.
He’s going to need nursed through the season to be fit enough to play more than half of the games.
At the moment he has made 7 out of 10 league games, that’s the best run he’s managed for some time.

This one always puzzles me because he works really hard on the pitch.
The real problem is McPake, I know its championship football but we lack any sort of professional teamplay. Its just everyman for himself for style of play.
We have some talent in this team. Hosler can create chances in the right position as we saw yesterday and at morton, hes been off before that but theres still a player there. Dapo looked threatening in the late stage of yesterday`s game. Cooper seems promising too.
It`s time for a manager who can exploit the best out of this lot. I`m confident we could be somewhere under a manager who doesn`t make the most baffling selections and tactics.
Imo if Kane, Dapo and Cooper started yesterday we would of had a win.

Where is the evidence that he`s being `nursed` now? We don`t even know what his injury is and whether it is connected to previous ones. Prior to Saturday he had appeared in 10 games in a row. Given his all-action style I`d say he must be pretty fit to have managed that. Of course if he catches the flu he`ll be back to being `injury prone`.

Unfortunately (and for the record I quite like kane as a player) he has been given the autonomy to decide when he himself is fit. There is a reason he never returned to St Johnstone even as a squad player. We as a club are now in a position where we have to accept players like this because of poor management.

Well, time will tell whether, over the extent of the season, he is more or less available to play than other players. We`ve heard about players like Bene who sometimes played when he shouldn`t have and may have suffered as a result, so maybe an element of self-diagnosis isn`t a bad thing.

I don’t think he necessarily needs or wants someone along side him although I do think we need someone who will run beyond him and in behind the defence. Kane will hold the ball up or come short and look to link play up. Dapo looks quick and Matty Todd when played centrally offers that kind of threat so perhaps them 2 in the team with him will help 🤷🏻♂️

Not much has been said about Dapo Mebude`s contribution on Saturday. That`s the longest time he`s been on the pitch in a senior game for us and he looks like a real threat. He has that knack of controlling the ball and moving it on in the same movement and, as said, is genuinely quick. The main problem with him may be getting his team-mates on the same wavelength!

I don`t disagree. Perhaps badly worded as I`m not someone who thinks that 2 strikers automatically means we`ll be more of a threat. I more meant that he needs to be less isolated - whether that`s playing upfront with Sutherland or with Madube or Todd bombing forward from a deeper starting position.

Chris Kane and Craig Wighton are 2 completely different styles of players. Kane`s style (chasing, harrying and closing down) suits the role he plays up top on his own while Wighton (linking up play and moving the ball quickly) was utilised more as a No 10 for Dundee and Hearts. Stevie Crawford played him alongside Declan McManus and Kevin O`Hara when he came on loan. He scored 16 league goals in his first season for Dunfermline in the Championship. McPake played him as a No 10 alongside Kane in the Kelty and Morton games and he played well in both games.
In the 10 minutes of highlights of the Morton game Wighton was involved in the creation of 3 good chances.
He collected the ball and played a quick 1-2 with Matty Todd to get to the byeline and put in a cross to Comrie who had a header on target that was cleared by a defender. Then from a throw near the halfway line in from Comrie instead of playing it back to him he flicked the ball between 2 defenders before chipping it over a defender to KRH who played it to Kane whose shot was blocked by the keeper. He later pounced on a loose ball and squared it to Matty Todd who shot wide.

Good analysis, SevenTay. Wighton is certainly not a “rough and tumble” striker like Kane but in the Livingston game, amongst other highlights, I spotted one breathtakingly good ball to KRH which, (and like the examples you listed) whilst it didn’t lead to a goal, was a moment of pure class. When utilised properly I have no doubt that Craig Wighton is still a massive asset to this squad.

We played well against Morton eh! Looked like we were going to score every time we got the ball, Wighton tore them to shreds, It wasn’t like we drew 0-0 against a team that was missing numerous first team players and went on to get humped by Hamilton the next week.
Could well be a player in there but he’s absolutely coasting just now and he was dug meat against Morton.

There were mixed views about the performance against Morton. Some of us thought there were signs of improvement which seem to have continued against Falkirk and Livi. No one claimed Wighton `tore Morton to shreds` but he certainly didn`t lose the ball every time he touched it as you claimed.

Well, one thing we tend to forget is how players train, Raymie. He also tries to balance things out when we have midweek games and have to play three games in eight days. McCann seems to be a beast in training as is Otoo!

There were mixed views about the performance against Morton. Some of us thought there were signs of improvement which seem to have continued against Falkirk and Livi. No one claimed Wighton `tore Morton to shreds` but he certainly didn`t lose the ball every time he touched it as you claimed.

But I’m standing by it, Wighton isn’t good enough.
I think he could be a player but as things are atm and for sometime he’s been a waste of space in the squad. He offers close to nothing.
I don’t know why you’d pick Mehmets performances to defend either, he’s the only good shot stopper I know that doesn’t actually stop that many shots. He disappears for the crucial ones 🤷🏻♂️

I agree completely. KRH being dropped was the best thing for him. His work rate has went up since he got back in. McCann could probably do with the same.

I`ve been thinking about what the manager said about Taylor Sutherland in the midweek update. If he`s not been misquoted, this sums up James McPakes`s mindset to a T. Was he so negative and risk-averse in League 1??? TS is (I think) 18. I`m not claiming he`s the next Leo Messi (or John Watson for that matter) and I`m no manager or coach, but if his progress is to be destroyed by a run of games in the starting line-up, where he`s probably unlikely to score a barrowload of goals, I`d say he`s not going to make the grade. His confidence is far likelier to be dented by sitting on the bench and getting the odd 10 minutes, especially when he`s a regular scorer for the reserves.
I remember us playing great attacking football to beat both Morton and Dundee Utd 3-1 last season, so I know the ability is there. The manager needs to instill that level of confidence far more often if he wants the team to move up the league. As well as benefiting TS (who would be sensitively treated by the fans), it would also enhance JMs reputation!!
Start TS tomorrow and see what happens.

It’s not like we have players scoring for fun, which is the reason for Sutherland not getting a shot. The manager has his favourites and will continue to play Wighton ahead of him, despite the fact Wighton’s been really poor when he’s had a chance this season and Sutherland’s scored 2 goals.
