class not gas Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 If this turns out to be bad news we would have to get in a right back,I know korey can do a job there but he's far more important in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 We need a right back really in any case. As well as he's done there, he's no right back and we are missing Pisano badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 If he's not about I assume Smith will become captain? I like that about our team, wouldn't really matter who's captain as we seem to have a few leaders on the pitch. Smith, Pack, Flint, Steele, Baker, Fielding, Bryan - any of those would be a good replacement if Wright isn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 LJ: “There does need to be some outgoings and that might be some younger players going out to get games. The ones who are playing we want to keep." To me that relates to Vyner more than anyone. Either Vyner needs to stick around to replace Bailey whilst his injured or we're bringing in RB. For me I'd just play Vyner he's got all the makings of a quality RB he just needs game time. We've won every game he's started this season except vs Watford the other day.

CliftonCliff Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Jesus! How much bloody worse can it get? I know injuries are part and parcel of the game, but with luck like this you would scarcely be surprised if we were in the relegation zone, never mind the play-offs. Don’t think I’ve ever known a run quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 One must be coming in soon. Vyner is close to going out on loan according to LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Bloody hell these injuries are taking the piss now. Wright and Taylor potentially added to Fammy, Milan, COD, Jens, Eros... I’d go with Korey for a quick RB fix, Vyner looks tidy and I’ve high hopes for the lad but don’t think he’s quite ready for this League yet. Still everything crossed Bailey is ok COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound like a RB might be needed then. I always remember Alan Dicks converting Donnie Gillies (striker) and Clive Whitehead (winger) into long term full backs in the div.1 days. There was no question of limitless signings then, the reserve was either pitched in (rare thing) or another squad player filled the gap. Talk of Korey Smith but maybe there's someone else in the squad who could fill in (just like BW has really) without weakening the team elsewhere? Bit worrying if LJ doesn't appear to trust Vyner though, at getting on for 21 you'd think a run in the team could be the making of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have sometimes wondered this season if some of the players have been "carrying knocks" and our team has just got on with it because they don't want to let the other players, coaching staff and fans down. If that is the case credit should perhaps go to players like MT for potentially playing through an issue - it shows a very good attitude and our great team spirit. In a perfect world of course we would have a bevvy of quality players on standby to jump in, but unfortunately that kind of luxury is something only some of the top teams in particular Villa, Wolves (and maybe Derby) have rather than us Maybe we as fans should be a little less quick to jump on players when they perform poorly? - I think all of of O'Neill, Hegeler, and Taylor have at least had their performances and "suitability for the championship" questioned just prior to fans finding out there is an injury. Maybe also we're paying a little bit now for a lack of "quality depth" in our squad and playing pretty much the same players match in match out for a few months during our fabulous runs before the new year. We need to hold on and do what we can until the Injury situation improves, with a full squad to pick from (and rotate a little) I think we have proved we're a match for most in the division. Our run in looks reasonable (albeit teams fighting lower down can be tough) but we should keep the faith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I wonder, with our high energy, tempo and pressing game, along with training that this may be why we are having so many injuries? It might be complete nonsense and just back luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but BR is a case in point perhaps - not really getting anywhere after many years seen as a midfield player, a revelation playing further forward in a position nobody had previously advocated for him.. Probably easier to convert someone into a defender - Whitehead, Gillies as above - than the other way round. It was a case of needs must for Gillies iirc., and he was absolutely fine. In Korey's case he can be seen as a tackler with good awareness and stamina, so he has, and could, move to FB. Like the old div.1 squad they are all good all round footballers so there must be others, surely? Vyner stands out as Wright's natural short/medium term replacement though and if LJ is still talking about him going out on loan there's surely a new RB coming in.

simon uk Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Agreed with the comment above about the high press game, we really need a lot of squad depth to sustain that over a season,,,, and we just dont have it.... seeing the list of derby strikers while we are persevering with bobby reid running mile after mile every week just shows how miraculous our run has been.

It might be complete nonsense and just back luck. Think it is mostly bad luck. COD, Diedhiou and Hegeler plus now Wright have been bad tackles or landings. Those have been long term ones(hope Wright isn’t). Then Djuric which I think has more to do with his size. Pisano, GON and Paterson probably have more to do with the high energy game. Paterson has missed some but not enough where it is a worry. The other two are older and probably more prone to those types of injuries anyway. Especially Pisano where the games came quicker and were played at a faster pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
