No terrible decision - surely the club should have foreseen the Dasilva injury coming? ! If not then we should employ a psychic to address just this sort of issue.

tin Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Where does it say Dasilva’s out for five months? LJ said in his presser today 10-12 weeks. That’s up to three months out, so hopefully back in the XI before Christmas, barring any setbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's highly rated - obviously far sooner than ideal, but might be our only option at this rate. 13 minutes ago, cidercity1987 said: Bet Nagy could play in a three at the back, allowing Massengo and Brownhill to cover CM Would be a big waste, he was clearly bought in to play midfield.

Hoping everyone gells quickly. My only concerns tbh, are the tracking back from certain players and work rate in pressing of others. I also hope we get more movement into the right places from the front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobintheRed Red Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 5 hours ago, CliftonCliff said: I know injuries are part and parcel of the game and all clubs get them, but bloody hell we've had some atrocious luck in recent seasons. The year we had the big cup run, for instance, we ended up with something like 6 or 7 senior players undergoing quite significant surgery for long-term injuries, and ended up with the squad stretched really, really thin. (From memory, there were knees - Hegeler, Fammy, among others, groins - Taylor, Duric, and a number of other issues; so much so that we had the then physio, Steve Allen, doing vids to explain the nature of the injuries, the treatment and players' progress, which I've never seen before or since). Last year Korey gets a bad one and then another within no time at all of making his comeback, and so on, and on. This is another big loss and I really feel for Dasilva, plus as you say a selection/cover problem that has far-reaching implications for how we can set up. I have seen very little of Olsson and don't know why he has been released by Swansea at the age of 31 (partly financial reasons, maybe: they aren't exactly flush), but he certainly doesn't lack for experience. Must be worth at least considering, one would think, perhaps a contact for the remainder of the current season? Yes seasons ****** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowe is one of those two players who will work his socks off because he knows this is his big and probably last chance for a shot at the big time . From the little I’ve seen he makes me think of Mark Little, limited skill wise but more than makes up for that with his energy and enthusiasm.

Kalas has played right side before, both for us and previous teams. I think Baker is better more central as his reading of the game is good and wins headers. Moore played left side against Leeds and did ok. Hence my reasoning. 41 minutes ago, eardun said: I’d go same players but move a couple around (Kalas in middle of the back three and Nagy just in front).

All about opinions MI, but Rowe is a very decent technical player...has a lovely left foot too. Loved Litts but he was predominantly power, speed and strength.
