GrahamC Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Not seen it mentioned before but there are a raft of European international games the same weekend as we are due to play Exeter. O’Dowda has already been called up by Ireland, presumably as they are regulars we can expect Nagy, Kalas & Morrell to all be involved with their nations, too. This also means we could postpone the game if we liked, but I guess we are going ahead with it minus these 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect to Exeter we should be able to get a result even without these players. Kalas is our only nailed on starter . COD is not terribly effective in the team. Nagy is just beginning to show signs and Morrell hasnt been here to be ‘ missed ‘. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this in one of the other threads about how big our squad is. I don’t know the answer, but it’s something I think we should be prepared for. Edit: Just saw @Lrrrs reply.

BCFCGav Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Are nations ‘under 21’s’ and below playing also? In which case we’ll lose Han Noah. Also Bermuda could call up Wells if they’re playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets called up I would have thought it would be the U19's or U20's. They both seem to have fixtures that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Are France Under 19 or similar playing in that period? Massengo has been capped for them before. Am assuming he's not in their U21 squad? Likewise Senegal with respect to Diedhiou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Island Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 If Nagy comes back with any kind of niggle he should be transfer listed. Disgraceful behaviour last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got injured v QPR and Initially City felt it was in their interests to let him go with Hungary to get minutes ready to come back from the break having had some game time. So it wasn’t as if Nagy and Hungary did anything against City’s wishes. it was also agreed that our own medical guys would check-in regularly with their Hungarian counterparts. LJ said that didn’t happen thoroughly enough. Nagy went on to play and I think the next International break was the one where more common sense was needed.

The Bard Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 It would be shameful to Insist on moving the game forward a week because we lack COD Morrell and Kalas. We have a load of players desperate to show a new manager they are up to this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the official catagorisations are are follows... Premier League & Championship ≠Elite. League 1 = Pikey, ground stealing, tinpot scummy shite. It's something along those lines, I'm sure.

GrahamC Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 So that is now Kalas, Nagy & O’Dowda confirmed, with presumably Morrell to come. Can only assume we are ok to go ahead as we must have known this was inevitable. Interestingly Preston have brought their’s forward to this Saturday for that very reason.

City fans thought Nagy was a top player, his country were desperate for him to help their cause... Fast forward 10/11 months and half of OTIB think he doesn't want to be here and isn't good enough.

It’d be embarrassing to actually care enough to disrupt whatever preseason plans we have by moving the game. Our squad is massive with few known injuries and if we don’t win without these 4 or 5, there are greater concerns ahead of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more that with a game like this unusually coming at the very start it would have been a useful exercise to field our strongest XI, because the usual resting players excuse/opportunity doesn’t really wash. Whatever the views are on Nagy, O’Dowda & Morrell, it is clearly not going to happen now with Kalas unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
