Rossi the Robin Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I thought it was going to be worse going by the posts headline. He will be back after a few games and won’t be sold - every cloud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Not good, as he’s integral both to how we play & also because we don’t have a “like for like” replacement. Opportunity for Nakhi though, as I can’t see any logic in changing Weimann’s position to react to this, he’s far more effective behind a front two than as part of one. Moves Tommy Conway a place up the pecking order as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 He used his last injury lay off to improve. Came back a different player and had a great 6 months. I'm sure he'll do the same this time and give us a huge boost when he's back in the autumn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s out for 12 weeks then he will miss the first 6 weeks of the season and will then need some sort of pre season so probably misses 10 games. Also, a shin injury wouldn’t stop a team from still being interested in signing him. Players transfer clubs whilst injured all the time.

42nite Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Probably linked back to the last game v Hull? He got well clumped in that game and limped off early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think football finished with the Hull game? Weimann has just started the only fortnight that he is going to get off, Semenyo, Wells & Scott have been on international duty, too. Quite possible that Antoine picked this up on duty for Ghana. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Dam shame we needed him hitting the ground running. Need as many points as possible even without the possibility of a points deduction. If a club offer the right money he’s gone regardless. Hopefully he’s still with us and back with us sooner.

Kingswoodactor Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Article mentions that they could possible reduce this 12 weeks down if things go well. Let's say it's 9-10 weeks before being back on the training pitch, that would be around wk beg 22 August. Could possibly see him in 1st team squad (all going well) by early September. Maybe missed 5 or 6 matches which isn't ideal but far from a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moves Tommy Conway a place up the pecking order as well. Agree. Surprised many thinking not a huge deal. 3 months when the season starts in a month. Means he won’t be up to top form until October really. That will be around a quarter of the season before he is at his best. He’ll likely miss 5-7 games to start. We saw how our performances picked up in December when he got back fit and got some starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redpole Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I heard this last week, I’m looking on the bright side, I think it will give the opportunity for Scott to play in the hole behind Martin and Weimann and really give him some freedom on the pitch to express himself with James and Williams in behind him. we know that Nige likes to play 2 up top and his favourite 2 anchors in midfield is James and Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I was resigned to losing Semenyo this summer, and it was the best time to sell as he would have 2 years left on contact (once they activate 1yr add on) - but now either we potentially sell in Jan window, which is a notoriously bad window to replace him with, or he’s sold next summer when he has 1yr contract left and he sold for much less than he could have been sold this summer. All in all not the best preparation for us either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 These things happen in football and therefore can be dealt with, especially as we haven’t even entered pre season, ie 1 time to sign a forward or a loan to Xmas 2 time to adjust tactics and team selection 3 time to give Bell, Conway a real chance to shine.Else why did we keep them? 4 time to use existing player in a forward position, eg Scott Trust in Nige. He has been here many times before and is not the sort of manager, imo, not to have Plans B to D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
