cityfan Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Substituted after 45 minutes the other week and now he is back playing already! All I can say is that he clearly didn't need much of a rest and the 'gap up' to this level of football for him clearly isn't that bad. What a fickle few weeks. Be careful of what you say, it comes back to haunt you! PS Clearly we haven't a clue who should play up front as Maynard is not fit for 90 minutes, but starts tonight and Clarkson starts alongside having gone back to midfield in recent games. Meanwhile our top goal scorer, Pitman is on the bench and our loan striker, Keogh 9Who won't succeed here) is already relegated to the bench!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roe Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 And you thought it would be good to start a new thread for this why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-H Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Saying a player needs a rest is PC speak for a player not being fit enough. Two thirds of the way through a season that is inexcusable if correct and harks back to the very correct comment Bucksred made yesterday re fitness within the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two thirds of the way through a season that is inexcusable if correct and harks back to the very correct comment Bucksred made yesterday re fitness within the squad Well he looks fit enough to me He is our player of the season so far - by a country mile And I started this thread because if he needs a rest, why is he starting a game again so soon? I don't believe that was true unless he has recovered very very quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-H Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Probably because we often told things by players and managers which aren't necessarily completely accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well he looks fit enough to me He is our player of the season so far - by a country mile And I started this thread because if he needs a rest, why is he starting a game again so soon? I don't believe that was true unless he has recovered very very quickly! I think it was more the fact people were marking him out of the game, and unfortunately the rest of the squad arn't good enough to take advantage of this. Just because he missed one week out doesn't mean Millen suddenly doesn't know what he's doing. Adomah is young, and perhaps just one week off was all that's needed.

Ron Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 At QPR & Sheffield Wednesday he was dog awful, unsurprised to see him being dropped a short while later. He came on vs. Leeds and looked sharp and back to his best, started the next game and continued thus. Problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 What an insightful and wise post. Being dropped for one game seems to have been enough to give Albert the nudge he needed. I thought he was brilliant against Leeds and seems to be back bang on form. Sounds like decent management to me. Also, it reflects extremely well on Albert - his attitude is exceptional. Apologies if I offend anyone by giving our manager some credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
