Robbored Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 With everyone available that’ll motivate the players to perform at their best not just in training but matches as well. When/if Manning gets a fully fit squad he’ll be stuck for choice. Dickie/Vyner are pretty much cemented at CB, Pring at Lb and Tanner Rb. Both Naismith and McCorrie can play in defence or midfield- where do the returning players fit in? Selecting the best 11 will be a tough ask It’ll be wonderful to have a deeper and stronger squad at long last which will obviously make rotating that much easier.

Davefevs Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 With Kal and Rob playing in the 21s today, here’s an updated injury table. Which of course might see Twine and / or Sykes fit tonight. It could just be poor old (young) Benarous after tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 Bit of a rough day with injuries, with Rob going down again for the unders and Pring an absentee tonight. Twine neither played for the youngers nor makes the bench, hopefully see him again on Saturday? Plus side, Sykes back (and replaces Pring in the one change to the 20) and Kal is obviously close which will be a relief to Dickie and Vyner I’m bloody sure!

Sykes very close, has done his full-pace “test”. I know you didn’t have him on your list, but HWR played 90 for u21s on Saturday. +++++ Ive added a new unavailability category - “match fitness” to distinguish between a player back in training but not yet ready for for first team. Big Rob falls into that category, as Will Kal if he plays tomorrow. Kal in the match fitness category. I’m really excited to have him back, bit of a fav of mine. Twine a bit of a mystery, I’m hoping for Saturday! Edited February 13 by BCFCGav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 That is surely the performance and result of the season. Even better than WHU. We deserved to beat them comfortably and did imo. And Bell… he deserved that goal. Big Dickie with his 4th this season from defence. Super Harry Cornick makes it comfy. Amazing, amazing night ️️ And no new knocks that I saw! And Sykes back! And Twine and Kal soon! Things change so fast in this bloody sport Injured: Atkinson Naismith Pring Benarous Twine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Truly is a shame about Atkinson, for the lad himself as well. Potentially call it a season and work solidly towards July pre season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Bad News for Sam, better for Pring and good for Twine & Sykes. Squad update: Sheffield Wednesday (A) 21 February 2024 Liam Manning has shared an injury update on a number of players ahead of City’s trip to face Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, February 24th. The City Head Coach has confirmed that Sam Bell will be out of aciton for a number of months after being substituted off during City’s previous fixture against Queens Park Rangers. “He’s picked up a really bad hamstring injury, he’s going to be out for the rest of the season unfortunately. He’s going to require surgery.” With Mark Sykes and Scott Twine recently returning to matchday squads, with the former making a substitute appearance against the Hoops, Manning confirmed they could be fit to feature from the start on Saturday, but may have to be patient. “Twiney’s looked a lot sharper today than he did at the back end of last week so he’s pushing [to play]. “Sykesy’s finishing was outstanding [in training] today so they’re two that are going to get an opportunity. “A big culture for what you’ve seen with the lads, they’ve done a terrific job of putting the team first. We’ve had to make tweaks and changes, we’ve done it for physical reasons or sometimes just for game plan and how we think we can get success in games and the lads have kept their heads down and worked and when called upon, stepped up and delivered.” “It’ll be no different for them two lads.” Manning also confirmed that Cam Pring has returned to training after missing the last two fixtures with injury. “Pringy’s a lot closer, first session back out there today (Tuesday), we’ll see how he responds to the work we’ve done and then he’ll be back out training on Thursday.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Given Roberts has his uses, let's not bounce Pring back in. Bench strength sure, but the season is drifting a bit...let's not risk anything unnecessary Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts has done well and if Pring would have been fit I would have thought he deserved to start at Weds. When both fit it gives chance to have them pushing each other and we will be able to rotate to keep intensity . I wouldn't be unhappy to see Roberts playing in front of Pring . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a bad shout with Roberts in front of Pring. Roberts looks comfortable on the ball and I think he could link up nicely further up the pitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 I feel bad for Sam Bell. He's played a lot more that I expected this season and has had ups and downs. It looked promising when he scored last week, so classic that he now gets an unlucky injury. Maybe too much football a factor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 Three out and two in as we name one fewer sub. Bell we knew about, James and Twine unwelcome surprises. I get lots of ‘’ reacts when I give my opinion on the Twine loan. But surely now we can all see panic loans to cover our arses is poor business. It just felt financially wasteful. Pring is back (excellent news) and Knight-Lebel returns to the squad as we again succumb to injuries. As always, three points will certainly lift the spirits!
