If (big if I know) we are safe from the playoff spot is it even worth rushing him back? The defence was fairly shite while he was playing too so his return isn't all of a sudden going to shore us up at the back Last 3 games of the season will be massive. A cup final and a play off against Dundee United 1 Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Lol we'll be nowhere near the cup final 1 Link to comment
Sheeptastic Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Have maintained most of the season that Ruby is a project player who could make us a bit of a profit (albeit not a massive one) once he irons out his rashness. Didn't actually realise how much better he is than Jensen and Gartenmann until we had to rely on them in his absence. Won't shirk a challenge or an aerial duel. Same can't be said for the other two. 1 Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Reminds me of Zander, act first then think. Link to comment
Footballs coming Rome Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Thought he was doing a lot better just before his injury happened. His weaknesses can be coached away and his strengths would help our defence right now. Link to comment

He should have broken his nose at least once and have a head with visible scars, all acquired from putting his coupon in where it hurts. Bonus points for any broken limbs, preferably their opponents. I don't see Gartenmann or Jensen as that type of defender. They're just too soft for our game. Alex Mcleish , his coupon looked like that by the time he was 17. Link to comment

I know MacDonald was injured early on but there were months he was just sitting on the bench unused. if it means Jensen and Gartenmann aren’t playing, then I’m sold! 2 Link to comment

I think if you played Ruby beside a good talker and organiser he would improve no end. I agree with you, there are qualities in there that need polishing and coaching. I was quite excited about the prospect of Jason Kerr teaming up with Ruby when he was linked in the January transfer window. A good solid SPL level defender with experience and a good organiser. He reads the game well too. Link to comment

He'll always be a red cad waiting to happen, don't take that combative instinct away from the guy. Thats what makes him an asset. Zero fear, and a willingness to murder. A desire to murder, even. 1 Link to comment
madjockmcferson Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 he will be straight in. we have badly missed him, more than i thought we would Link to comment

Channeled and disciplined fury for most games then he is let off the leash when the flute playing wife beaters are in town. Definitely raw but is great in the air and tackling. He was doing better on the ball before his ligament damage. Dives into tackles a bit too much but if he can time it against good fast players we have a potential Bobby Bisconti tackler on our hands.
