Davefevs Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 13 minutes ago, SuperRed said: I don’t disagree with your point about Mawson’s absence affecting the confidence of the defence but I think lack of height and aggressive defending will be an issue for us. I wouldn’t say any of Vyner, Moore and Kalas are aggressive first ball winners in the air. Moore is the tallest and, whilst his aggression has improved, it has been a criticism of him in the past. Vyner and Kalas both look about 6ft to me and appear more suited to sweeping up behind a dominant partner. We also don’t have Diedhou starting so have lost his ability at attacking the ball when defending concerns. If you watch us at defensive corners this season, bar Vyner switching off at Barnsley we have defended them very well. Chris Martin has done a good job as the man to attack the ball to the near post. I can only think of one other switch off and that was Wednesday (h) when Lees got a run to the bear post and headed straight at Bents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he heads a ball out from a corner doesn't mean he's a defender! Completely different ball game. And could Mawson be this year's Afobe? Excellent for 5-6 games then injured and we struggle the rest of the season. Let's hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 2 hours ago, GrahamC said: Loved to be proved wrong, but be very surprised if he plays for us again before the January transfer window is open. If Baker is back by then we can review but we do look one short otherwise. Sadly have to agree with this. There is no guarantee that Baker will be back either. Given his poor injury record at Fulham, we may have to go into the loan market again in January. The biggest problem for me is that Moore will now be played as the left sided defender and that will unbalance things, to lose two left sided defenders is really bad news, and with the manager intent on playing three at the back we are one injury or suspension away from having to field a makeshift defence.

jayjay Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hope Ashton used his club credit card for the loan fees, then there is a chance we could get a refund from the card provider on the grounds of being "not fit for purpose".

Yep, I’ve had 4 cartilage ops (2 on each knee) and an ACL. My first cartilage op I was back playing inside 4 weeks. That was on the NHS at Winford....that’s how long ago it was (early 90s). All the others were private and were 6-8 weeks. ACL was very different! That surgery sorted out cartilage damage done too! There’s a fair chance Mawson has little cartilage left in his knee anyway.

I guess Dean doesn't want to give specific details out to the media as it gives opposition teams weeks/months away tactical knowledge that helps their plans and thats an advantage we don't want to give. At this stage it keeps the opposition guessing when we might have our best defender back and therefore makes their planning a little bit more tricky.

pl00peh91 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Gregor reporting today that Mawson could be back next month which is great news as I expected him to be out for the season. If we can get Baker and Mawson both fit for the second half of the season this would help our chances massively. “Nathan Baker is expected back towards the end of December, which is only next month, while there is still no timescale on Alfie Mawson coming back into the first team. However, Bristol Live understands that Mawson could be back at Ashton Gate next month too and even playing again then if all goes well.“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 21 minutes ago, downendcity said: Wouldn’t Fulham have bog say in when he can return? Depends on how serious the injury was, it clearly wasn’t his ACL that he did, so looks like it’s probably his cartilage which is a very simple procedure nowadays (especially compared to an ACL) but as he’s under contract with us, I would say it’s our decision. If Fulham aren’t happy then they would be well within their rights to let City know so but I’m not sure how much they could do about it. But it obviously wouldn’t do City any favours in the long run to upset another club as it could prove detrimental in the future as not only Fulham but other clubs may not trust us with their players.
