It also says he could be the latest to face a lengthy spell out. Presumably he`ll be x-rayed and assessed tomorrow and we`ll know more then.

Injuries probably be the affect of the more physically demanding press we implement for large portions of games. Be it muscle injuries from all the running and stretching or going into more 50/50 balls where contact is usually more likely and hard. Love when we play that way but it is possible it is a reason for our injury concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gow2gooseya Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Congratulations to the albino"ed one, but I think the sooner we have our first choice back 4 or 5 available again the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Pack looked the only ones interested in first half. And in the 2nd half, mags confidence just grew. Massive boost if we can get Mags playing well. With O'dowdas injury, we may have to utilise Bryan at left mid, especially away from home!! That’s the good thing about football and this forum (at times) you can be critical one week (and rightly so), but it not blinker you viewing a good performance the next.

Pugofwar Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 People often say that Magnussen is a good footballer but lacking in physicality. Yesterday on BCTV I watched his passing closely and the number of times he lost possession was really worrying. It was a mixture of simple passes under no pressure which were underhit or misplaced, and longer aimless balls when under pressure. Very rarely did they find a target. In comparison, Wright who is a pretty limited ballplayer at least managed to play simple passes to feet more regularly. Edit because I don't mean to be overly negative: It's probably just a confidence thing right now for Mags, but I think the whole team suffers if we can't distribute the ball well from full back on either side of the pitch.

cidercity1987 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Unless we get promoted, Bryan will be sold for £10m plus and Maggers / Kelly will fight it out to be first choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we are building up a young left sided defender then I personally would rather see Kelly get the minutes. Surely not at Magnússon’s level yet but would be more suited to getting minutes here and there. I mean Fulham have managed to fit a 17 year old into their squad and has approaching 50 appearances for them. As said though, Mags was a few minutes away from leaving and that is probably why Kelly has not seen more time. I did love Mags and he is a talent just not convinced he will make it in England in this spell. Could definitely see him going to a team abroad and excelling and even coming back to england and doing well. Just can’t see him getting enough minutes here for him to be happy. Foreign players just aren't used to the cold weather . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 i like him as EMB says there is a good player in there, but he does make too many mistakes and is very weak on the ball for a centre half, Stop faffing about and e'll be an asset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he went and watched him against Cardiff, maybe he wouldn’t have found it quite so bemusing..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly this was at centre back, not left back, but he was consistent and didn’t make many mistakes. I feel the consistency would return if he had a regular run in the team, but a fully fit Joe Bryan is the first choice left bank, and unless Bryan has a run of bad performances Mags is likely to be selected What he does give us is real threat from long throws.
