I’d like to see a list of the amount of injuries we have had under LJ. He’s not very lucky in that respect! Kalas Nagy Dasilva Afobe All in a short space of time. And all players that are first teamers and would get into a lot of teams in this division. Big losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine all the wages that have been spent on injured players over the last few years. I guess we are cursed. I expect another injury tomorrow too, they are dropping week after week, one after the other. Can add Pisano to that list? Fielding was he out a while, Maenpaa at least medium term?

Curr Avon Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 As Ive mentioned before, we still have the talent and support to achieve a play-off place. Convential wisdom went out of the window when unfancied Norwich and Sheffield United won automatic promotion last season. Why shouldn't it be our turn?

bristolcitysweden Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 With Afobe out it's even less reason to treat Fam a la Leeds with the bathroom soap. Laughable and totally pointless. We need to bring on a team capable of dictating a game. We don't need the Brownhill disadvantage should Nagy be fit.

He really seemed to be enjoying himself on and off the pitch. Lets hope he gets back to full fitness, this is a very serious injury by all accounts, wish him all the good luck in the world, it’s going to be a long road back.

All the talent in the world is meaningless if half the squad is crocked. You mention Norwich, but what if they'd lost Pukki to a season ending injury in September? I somehow doubt they'd be where they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I would imagine Fam will get first chance to fill the void, however another option would be Sam S and Kasey P playing behind Weimann. I know he hasn't had much of a look in as yet but Sam S is probably the most natural finisher we have fit at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fam is not mate with the bathroom soap BUT he is very useful within the box. We need more footballerw on the pitch. If Nagy is fit Brownhill with his inept technique MUST be benched giving room for another player with technique to make our passing game going. What the hell are you on about now?

Joke btw. LJ needs to show Fam the new level of expectation of a striker alongside Weimann and in-front of Palmer. Fam does have ability and sublime touches at times. Needs to be more willing to make runs either for Palmer’s passes or to create space for others. Lets just see how the next 5/6 games go. The people of here giving up on our team are likely the very same people bemoaning the loan signing of Afobe. Football is a strange game, and Fam has a great opportunity to silence the critics. He ain’t perfect, but we are still a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I am kind of worried about the psychological impact this will have on the rest of the squad. You see it at games: a penalty missed, or an unfair reffing decision or a bad injury, and the team can become unsettled and start playing badly. Have to pray Lee has the man management skills to build them up to fight in adverse circumstances, rather than reflect on the bad luck that seems to be following the team at the moment.
