chinapig Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 What are the odds on us beating last season's record of (I think) 9 operations? I'll lay odds Bailey Wright is the next, LJ having complained that the medical staff keep telling him he will be back in 4 or 5 days. Always a bad sign when that happens.

Davefevs Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Why are knee ops now 8-12 weeks. What has happened to the cartilage op that gets you back in 3-4 weeks? What happened....was taking Joe to toilet when it happened. Was it a twist or impact injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 3 hours ago, brad blit said: Might force LJ to play Brownhill in the middle, and actually start playing 2 wingers considering we have Elliasson, COD and Watkins (plus Hakeeb when fit) who can play there, instead of playing people in incorrect positions (ie Watkins upfront) Or playing wingers who play in between the touchline and the line of goal to goal. So we don't actually play with wingers and leave all the crosses to two full backs who are so high up the pitch that they cannot be called defenders! Thus allowing opponents to attack us at will from their wingers. Shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a massive Korey fan I don’t think he’s been at his best back to the last part of last season He got crocked a few times and played on and played with injuries and also got crunched in the Bournemouth game I wonder whether some of the challenges I can remember seeing him on the end of (and wincing) As he’s gone down have taken their toll This is where they find more of a problem when they operate ten times over (Which if you are a Sag is actually physically possible btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is really terrible news. Anyone who watched us last season could see that this team looked poor whenever Korey was missing or playing RB. Same for this season. A key squad member and hard to replace. We don't really have anyone else, though one or two midfielders could fill that role, though not like Korey. I wish him well and hope for a speedy recovery. For now though, I think we may have to look at the loan market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underlines how we’re now doing things very much on the cheap. This phrase ' let go ' is often used and it makes it appear as though that was what the club wanted . Just may be professionals want a change and it is their decision to leave and there is very little the club can do in those circumstances. I imagine that you are not party to the financial set up at BCFC and therefore haven't a Scooby what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 We've gone from having a squad that never greatly suffered from Injury (Cotts), to one that perpetually does (LJ). So what's causing it? Training? Discipline? The Physio Team? LJ ignored he priors advice? Rushing players back? In terms of personnel this should be expected to continue. Webster, Smith, Baker, Pisano, Hegeler, Diedhiou, Wright, Taylor, Moore, and Fielding have all had more than one injury under LJ now havent they?

formerly known as ivan Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Walsh not up to this standard certainly at the moment. Will need loan cover at least until January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 It's a real shame to lose Korey for that long but I think Pack/Brownhill could be a really positive partnership, have Pack take on some more defensive responsibility but it really showed this evening having Brownhill being able break at pace and the set up for Taylor's goal was an example, also not afraid to shoot from around the box.

Korey is a massive loss to us. From what the Preston fella said earlier in the thread, Johnsons contract runs out at the end of this season so not exactly a free agent. He also mentioned that we have enquired to his availability without having made an official bid. Can see our interest accelerating now although it would have to be a loan with a view to a permanent move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Surely we will be in for a loan midfielder? An injury to Pack or Brownhill will leave us in the shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Whilst the window is still open I can see us making every effort to bring someone in. We know about Korey’s recovery time and have scope to act. Better to have someone in than the window shut and having to go with what we have. It’s going to be a long season and we don’t know what else is ahead yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me at all if you bid now. He isn’t signing a new deal and isn’t in the matchday squads at the moment. And just like that he signs a new deal!

Dr Balls Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Just seen that Jan Kirchoff, one of the few players to make an impact at Sunderland in the last 3 seasons, is now a free agent. From what I recall he was quite a player, assuming we could afford his wage demands. With Korey out for so long, we need cover for Pack, because if he gets injured we really are screwed!
