Sniper Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I hear what you are saying but it's the same for everyone else. 3 games a week. 4.5 hrs top and some training. Try 60 hours on a COVID ward. I'd run through brick walls for 4.5 hrs a week for 15/20 grand a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhitepurple Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Donkey Dave deidiiou can stay out.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Wells will be fit won't he? It's getting easier to count who we now have fit and available outfield in terms of senior players than who we don't! Defence: Hunt Vyner Moore Kalas? Mariappa Rowe Midfield: O'Dowda Nagy Bakinson Massengo Up front: Martin Wells? Semenyo Out: Defence: Sessegnon Mawson Baker DaSilva Midfield: Walsh Williams Brunt Paterson Attack: Weimann Diedhiou Don't Know: Defence: Kalas Attack: Wells To what extent we can call Bakinson, Massengo or Semenyo- or further back Moore and Vyner senior pros, is in itself debatable. 11 definitely available, 9 definitely injured, 1 suspended- 2 we're not sure on!

REDOXO Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 We were awful. Our best player at Rovrum was Edwards. He played about Five Minutes. Right now Bell Edwards and Towler look better options than a few “first teamers” named from the last two games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 What’s the record for most academy players in an XI in recent times? O’Leary Vyner. Moore. Towler edwards Harper Bakinson Nagy. Z.Smith Bell. Semenyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 To put a lot of academy players out, dunno about that! A distinct lack of first team football between them. We'd be highly likely to lose heavily but that could happen regardless. My concern would be, how would this impact upon their development? Not very well I fear!

Of course Holden and Ashton have to go as well as they arent needed either. The bottom line is the engine driver he brought them here, nothings going to change anytime soon; even if they all went, SL will just continue with the no risk policy and replace Holden, Ashton etc with their clones.

Not very well I fear! That point was made against Liverpool last year when they stuck the kids up against villa in the league Cup because the first team had the world club Cup in Asia the following day. Could be a sink or swim moment. Play well and you may stake a claim that you can fit in at this level and get more game time with the first team Play badly and you need to buck up your ideas and work harder if you think you'll have a career (not just here but in football in general) Honestly, the players in that Liverpool team will benefit long term from that game. They saw first hand what playing against professionals looked like, rather than playing against fellow age groups. May not have felt it at the time, but ask them in 5 years, I imagine they'll all say they'd benefit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 You have to factor in the injuries, I've never known so many in 38 years following City.

Such an old fashioned and incorrect attitude if you don’t mind me saying. Although results aren’t great, these are professional sportsmen, and sports science tells you that playing 3 games a week, on top of training etc means fatigue and potentially more injuries.

Do we not give players a medical before we sign them? What are we doing wrong in training/ the warm up that causes so many "injuries" that other clubs are doing right or are we just signing a load of cast off old crocks?

Saying ‘just get on with it’ shows a complete lack of understanding, and no amount of payment will change the fact Yes this is absolutely spot on. They’re tired in that their performance has dropped by a couple of per cent which is going to be huge when you are playing against people who are basically as good as you. I think it’s way too easy to chuck around suggestions that they’re lazy/don’t care etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Bentley Mawson Kalas Baker Sessegnon Williams Walsh Dasilva Paterson Diedhou Weimann Some team that. Except only Bentley and possibly Kalas will be available. Look at the quality of players we are missing this season. With that in mind, it's a miracle that we are 8th. Yes, the last two performances have been unacceptably poor, but they need to be seen in context. Two consecutive wins won't make us promotion contenders, just as two consecutive defeats doesn't mean we're doomed. Happy Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
