Title: Ethan Ross out for a few games
Post by: Saughall Robin on January 22, 2024, 03:56:32 PM
According to the JL site.
A big blow for us this.
Surely Matt Gould will start? What are people's thoughts on Ollie Byrne either starting or being on the bench?

A major setback.

I would expect Gould to be well ahead of Byrne, as the latter hasn't played any competitive football for in excess of two months (and even during the closing stages of his loan spell at Cork City, Byrne was replaced by Tiernan Brooks, who is scheduled to make his debut for Rochdale on Tuesday evening).

I'd rather play Matty Kosylo than Ollie Byrne.

He's hardly covered himself in glory on our off thenoitch for the club

Is that "on or off the pitch"? 🤔

If so, what's the story re the latter?

Reading John Laidlaw's update you make of what you will of Parky's quote. Missing tonight and unlikely to miss several more. Much prefer to face Rochdale with Ethan around. If it's rained off tonight I presume that's the TV money gone. Tricky to chose which option I want.

You can't buy 3 points.

Bad news indeed.

Does beg the question of where Byrnes position in club is.

Surly he could be loaned out as hes cleary not in the plans

I'm sure Ollie Byrne will be on the released list in the summer - he just wasn't good enough, it's as simple as that. He's still young and will hopefully be happy somewhere else.

The fact that he's not already been loaned out would seem to suggest he's still in Parky's plans to some extent. Let's just hope that isn't tonight. If he's ever to have a role here he's got to be eased in. Perhaps the game at Hyde? Certainly not a crucial one such as tonight.
Personally, I think we're having trouble finding someone to take him.

I made prayers to the main gods of each religion he was signed by Rochdale. I think they heard, but checked the wrong cork city keeper on transfermarkt.

Matt's got to be first choice while Ethan's out but since we have the luxury of three keepers at the moment I wouldn't begrudge Ollie a place on the bench as welcome backup.

Only, and a big only, if we've no other fit, senior players.
