General First Team Injury Updates

[Mad Dog]

There are a lot of games in December.
He has a chance now to show what he has to offer and to stay fit.
Even if he stays fit in December, he has enough ability and is different enough to win us some extra points.

There's no doubting his ability, when fit, he's a game changer.

But he can't stay fit, in fact, he seems to struggle with staying fit in training, let alone competitive games!

He doesn't need to show us what he has to offer, we know what he has to offer, that's why he keeps getting chance after chance, what he needs to prove, is his ability to remain fit for a period of time, otherwise he's just taking up a valuable squad place.

Big month for him...

 

[Up The Manor]

If Edwards can proove his fitness before the New Year I would keep him.

I think it would be beneficial that the club released him .He is one of the reasons we are in a relegation battle now .Players taking up squad places that never play .

Don't disagree.

We have him for December and can't get anybody else in.

Good news if he is nearing fitness. Hopefully he is fit enough to help us win a few points. A big month for him as well.

Then at the end of the month the club can reevaluate

 

[holdsteady]

Is his contract up until January or includes January?

 

[Yellowmania]

Don't disagree.
But let's see. I won't write him off totally.
At Luton he was excellent. 3 or 4 more of those performances off the bench couod help us win a few pointsm

Absolutely agree about his Luton performance but would add he also had fantastic support from Kioso as an overlapping fullback.
Placheta gets a lot of stick on here but in past 2 games has been isolated with virtually no support. Against Sheffield Utd I counted 5 of there players boxing him in at one stage!

 

[Followtheox1]

If the club want to remain in the Championship then there should be no hesitation on releasing players who cannot stay fit.

It's a very difficult one. Over the years I personally think he is the most talented player we have had out of all of our 'hardly ever played injured players' and we have had a few.

 

[Left Wing Cross]

According to Des in the OM:

Joe Bennett is back jogging and might be available for selection by mid-January
Peter Kioso is back in the squad

 

[SirAndyOfCrosby]

Joe Bennett is back jogging

So he's ahead of Matt Phillips then...

 

[werthersoriginal]

So he's ahead of Matt Phillips then...

Ha ha, boom boom!

Without effective wingers we are most definitely doomed .

Updated with Moore's injury

 

[Belgium Yellow]

What about Sam Long?

Left Plymouth on crutches

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Left Plymouth on crutches

And the Plymouth wankers were complaining he was play acting. That and the fouls on Cam, dirty Southerners.

Reminds me of when Kyle Joseph continued to get booed by the Shrewsbury fans as he was being stretchered off the pitch, having being on the ground for 7 minutes in clear agony. Idiots.

 

[Northstandboy]

What about Sam Long?

No news on him yet.

 

[Kernow Yellow]

Long has been consistently booed at Home Park ever since one of their players was sent off for a terrible tackle on him on the touchline right in front of them. It turned the game - we were losing and well under the cosh, but came back to win. Just checked and that was more than ten years ago now!
But then, as last night, there was no play acting involved. Hope he makes a speedy recovery - we're a better side with him in it imo.

 

[Scotchegg]

No news on him yet.

Looked like he has potentially broken a bone in his foot. Waiting on xrays but there were concerns that Tyler had done the same in the playoffs before making the final so may not be serious.

Ah, the John Campbell in-off-his-gut game

[Axol0tlFC]

Nelson's been back in training with the Leicester first team

 

[CaptainOx]

Yeah I meant back available to us. Been doing all rehab with Leicester and Rowett seems to think they'll want him to play in u21/reserve games before being made available to us.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Bradshaw. March. He must be on all kinds of injections

Or it’s not as bad as first feared.

 

[DenbighYellow]

Nelson back in training then.
