DT The Optimist Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 It would appear from MacGregor that both are still carrying knocks and not over these injuries. That can be the only reason. Seems that Williams was not right when he signed for us. It so frustrating for all, shame not more feed back coming from the club.

Walsh seemed to be sat with the subs in midweek & Williams has been pictured running on the grass before the international break, so it just seems baffling. Both Walsh and Williams must surely be fully fit by now but obviously lack game time so I’d be very surprised if either of them start against the Jacks - bench for at least one of them I reckon.

Davefevs Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 For info, I believe Walsh picked up his quad injury when he returned to City in July as part of the post-lockdown games, when him, Moore, Morrell and Szmodics seasons were cancelled with their loan clubs. He didn’t do it in March for Coventry. It was diagnosed as being an 8-weeker. Would suggest he’s had set-backs along the way. Easy to think you are fit, train well, everything going smoothly, then you flat out sprint, or stretch for a ball, or drive the ball at Max power and strain it again. Williams wasn’t injured at Wigan, he got injured in the behind closed doors inter-club game at Failand that took place after the Cheltenham friendly at AG. No more info than that.

Shuffle Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 This is so frustrating as Williams said he’d be fit after the international break, so clearly had a set back. Think O’Dowda is ahead of Nagy/HNM for one of the three MF slots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, but the fans were told both were expected to be back after the international break..... did that mean Xmas then ? I find it strange that so little feedback but I expect that MacGregor will find out ! Lets be fair, we are told Baker out till Xmas, no doubt after Monday we will be updated as supporters on Mawson... It is not asking much in a PR job to let fans know what's going on.

Fordy62 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’ll admit I’m seriously concerned about the Walsh contract situ. It all feels a little Maynard to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like the fitness issues, annoying and worrying in equal measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Admittedly it’s a little worrying that there has been no sign of these two coming into contention. Haven’t seen anything pre match either for tomorrow’s game from Holden re injury updates. Unless DH is keeping a big secret about Williams and Walsh, I can see O’Dowda stepping in that 3 tomorrow.

Eddie Notgetinya Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Neither available for Saturday. Getting a little fed up with this. I think these two with Brunt or Bakinson holding could work nicely but it seems they are nowhere near ready despite us being made to believe that they have a chance to make every upcoming game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have no idea how Walsh got injured or Williams for that matter. I gather they have both had thigh injuries now going back months. Dasilva made the bench against Sheffield Wednesday and Forest. Surely he's too good a player not to be in the squad. Miss the days when the media could have had a chat with Buster to pass on real information. Because you missed the interview last week where (I think it was Holden, but could have been another member of the coaching staff) spoke about Liam Walsh's injury - doesn't mean it didn't happen..! Basicslly a niggly injury that's justing a long time to heal properly. Baker is the only long term injury absentee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly I think we could have done with a late O’Dowda cameo on Tuesday night. The game was dead flat and I think a change of personnel was needed in the midfield, not the front two.

Neither Walsh nor Williams has kicked a ball in anger as we approach the end of October. Given there is no sign of them being fit any time soon - though they are perpetually said to be 2 weeks away - I would say they are long term injuries. The way these things usually pan out I fully expect to be told soon they both need surgery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so the sensible answer is "We don't know, we'll say when we have some certainty", which is better than saying 2 weeks then saying 2 weeks again the next time you are asked etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are focusing on 2 cases, where there are apparent complications/delays. Usually recover projections are pretty bang on, with most cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
