Dasilva's original expected return date was five months - which was January - but providing there aren't any further complications, he could be back before 2020. "He's going well," Holden said. "He's in a real tricky part of his rehab. He's back on the grass and back at it. Still 1-to-1 training away from the group but he's got to get these next few weeks without any setbacks. "We've got to be clever in terms of how we manage him but he's definitely on the way back up, no question about that." When asked if it was weeks rather than months, Holden added: "I would hope so.""

That still reads as January to me, maybe a couple of U23's or possibly on the bench over xmas, but still not 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 If he can be 1st team ready by the start of 2020 it would be a massive boost to the side. Finally we'd have balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh. When you consider that January is only 5-6 weeks away anyway I see what you mean. But it's positive from the angle that there seems to have been no set backs, he seems in track, possibly ever so slightly ahead of track. After the Kalas, Nagy and Smith delays this is a welcome bit of good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper out ball who won't lose it, but also move the ball forward. Will fit into our new system perfectly, and even have more freedom than last season. Do you think we will keep the new system? We only started to use it because of injury in the first place. Personally I’d like to keep it and agree with your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then I feel there should be ways around it. I don't believe someone as good as Eliasson would be unable to adapt to a different system that does not have wingers. The key thing seems to be LJ wants to play 2 up top. It's a sensible formation to play 2 up top and keep numbers in midfield so we are not outnumbered. I am sure LJ will change it though like he is during games to a 442 etc, or even start games with 4 at the back at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he’s the one who misses out, but it suits several more players....so I’d like to see Lee continue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledRobin Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Think we're pretty adaptable, which is important nowadays. Dont think we're perfect with 3 or 4 at the back yet but certainly able to play either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
