A quick search for Bristol City & only Mags appears. No Bailey Wright for Aus? Is he injured? This could be a very quick thread, but I cant see anything else on here about it.

BCFCGav Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Aye it was announced a week or two ago that he’s not been picked, must be the injury that sidelined him tail end of the season. Big shame, he looked a dead cert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Wilson Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Think it was a combination of his injury for us at the end of the season and the fact he was woeful for Australia against Norway. Their new manager (who’s only had two games with them) played Bailey at RB and he was absolutely destroyed by a team not even going to the WC, so he was ditched for better RBs. He still could’ve done a job for them at CB but I guess that’s where the injury comes into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 i feel sad for Bailey Wright. He was burnt out and injury was inevitable. If I were him I'd want to strangle LJ and Mark Ashton. Too much was expected of him. People forget he played in the Confederations Cup last June and left that and came straight to pre-season training. Then travelled to the other side of the world in September, October and November when the other players had 2 weeks off matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 There was talk that the Aussie squad picked a couple of weeks ago was a warm-up / friendly squad as there would be players involved in domestic games or coming back from injuries. I believed Bailey fell into that group, and was thought to be going in for an op to sort out his knee. It sounded like there were a couple of bits floating around and a quick exploratory op would sort out and he could make the World Cup (if selected). That appears to be gone. I bet Bailey is pig sick that playing through injury has cost him a good chance of a place. I hope fans recognise that. Selfishly, Bailey - get that knee sorted, rest and get a full pre-season and see you return to that steady-Eddie we got used to pre-Leeds Utd (away).

Gimme Shelton Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Dont understand why people are desperate for our players to be wearing themselves out in the summer. It might be different if we were in the prem with a lot less games to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So id rather support that rather than hope they never make it. Plus let’s be honest, it’s win-win when it’s playing for teams like that. If aus or Iceland did as expected, out early, exp gained. If they over achieve, exp gained + morale high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCity Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Final Australia squad will be announced no later than June 4. The preliminary squad are in Turkey and have four days of training, then a friendly against the Czech Republic on Friday. Still hope but, as mentioned above, he did have a couple of shockers under the new manager, so may well be out of favour. EDIT - looks very unlikely: https://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/news/exclusive-bailey-wright-opens-up-about-world-cup-omission-491687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financial reasons too - if a player has a couple of good games in a world cup they can add millions to their value and get big bids. Magnússon scoring a perfect free kick against Argentina is exactly the sort of thing I can see happening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnússon scoring a perfect free kick against Argentina is exactly the sort of thing I can see happening.. I see we are going to miss out on a fair few grand due to BWs non selection (In terms of compensation from FIFA) Just under £6500 per day The meter starts running TWO WEEKS before the opening match on June 14 and ends the day after a player’s country is eliminated from the competition – 46 days for those that reach the final. Fifa calculate that this makes a total of 24,500 working days, taking into account the 736 participating players (23-man squads for 32 nations). So the rate per player per day is $8,530 – or just under £6,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey initially hurt his knee at QPR in December, he played thru injury for quite a long time for the team - shows what he's made of and why he's a leader. Ultimately though, its cost him a place at the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
