20/11/2024 Raymond 0

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin is cautiously optimistic about the return of injured duo Louis Moult and Ross Graham ahead of this weekend’s clash with Rangers. Both players have been sidelined with knee and hamstring injuries, but Goodwin has put them on modified training sessions in hopes of having them fit for Saturday’s trip to Ibrox. While he acknowledged their progress, he was careful not to raise expectations too soon, stating, “We’re being tentative at the moment, but they are over the worst of it.”

Goodwin also reflected on the season’s stop-start nature, with international breaks affecting team rhythm. Despite this, he’s hopeful the rest will allow his squad to recover as they approach a busy period. With Dundee United sitting in a promising fourth place, Goodwin is urging caution. “I don’t spend too much time looking at the league table at this stage,” he said. “It’s after the Christmas period, into mid-January, when you get a much clearer picture.” His message to players remains clear: stay focused, avoid complacency, and take it one game at a time.

29/09/2024 Raymond 0

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay left Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an apparent injury, raising concerns for the team’s defensive depth. As the Eagles fell behind early, Slay’s absence was felt, especially given the questionable depth at cornerback, placing added pressure on rookie Quinyon Mitchell. Fortunately, Slay was able to return to the field, which was crucial for the Eagles as they sought to mount a comeback. Despite scoring a couple of touchdowns in the second half, a critical fumble by Jalen Hurts significantly hindered their chances of securing a win.

The Eagles aimed to improve to a 3-1 record, potentially placing them in first place in the NFC East for a short time, depending on the outcome of the Washington Commanders’ game. However, injuries to key players like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Lane Johnson loomed large, shifting the burden onto Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert. The return of these crucial offensive players will be vital for the Eagles as they navigate a competitive NFC East landscape, even with a likely loss in this game.
