Player News Injured Players

[Ulsterox]

Tend to agree with the highlighted bit.

I think a lot of the social media video stuff is much more aimed at a younger demographic, which is fair enough these are the next generation of fans. Personally I find a lot of it quite juvenile for want of a better word.

Chris had/has a tremendous amount of knowledge and history re OUFC, which often came through in his writing, that was alway going to be difficult to replace.

With all the ins and out over the past few months, the one thing that disappointed me was Chris leaving. If anyone should be here enjoying the feel good factor at the club, it is Chris Williams.

I've wondered if it's deliberate. cards close to our chest

Yes of course it is.

Not sure he'd be enjoying the off field issues like the website/ticketing etc.

I'd be surprised if he is enjoying his job with Oxford City at the moment. Heading for obscurity.

But you now have Martin Brodesky doing the match report and you can't get more involved than the club historian and prog. editor.

 

[Osleroad]

Personally I'm OK with the club not giving out too much information about injuries. Why let Liam Manning know if Cam is fit or not? Keep him guessing

That would be the case whoever we are playing-you have to take absolutely any advantage in this lge

Absolutely. Not sure if anybody couod have complaints on the programme, match reports etc, as Martin does these.

Matt Phillips is back in contention this weekend, while Przemyslaw Placheta is set to be out for another two to three weeks.

Hidde ter Avest and Kyle Edwards are also available to Buckingham, who said: “They’ve been building and working slowly, but when you haven’t got the cup games to put them into, it’s making sure when we put them into the squad or on the pitch, that they’re ready for what the Championship brings.

Sounds like Cam going for another scan, no news on Goodwin..

I completely missed at the time the news about Placheta being out. What is his actual injury?

 

[Peterdev]

I can’t understand why all the delay on news from Goodwin. It must be over nine months since we signed him and he’s barely played

 

[Salaghaf]

Does anybody know?

 

[southcoastyellow]

Both a couple of weeks away according to ox mail

 

[bazzer9461]

You still read the gutter press

 

[Littlemore Local]

From the Dub with Des:
Shemmy - at least four more weeks
Bennett - January
Philips - no timeframe
Cam - six weeks, another scan in 3 weeks
JMac - back within the next 3 games

 

[McXal]

I also picked up on that. Annoying that Placheta and Matt P (who were two of our ‘riskier’ signings given Phillips already had a bit of a reputation, and Placheta had just been out with a big injury) have dropped almost immediately and now join Goodwin in the seemingly never-ending ‘back in a few weeks’ that seems to cycle over and over.

Thankfully the squad is far more equipped to deal with it. We’ve barely seen Dale yet this season. Sibley can play wide too. Tyler & Dembele have started really well. Edwards is feeling his way back. We’ve got Ebiowei too. So it’s not like we need to rush them back or it’s desperate without them. But Phillips’ size and experience, and Placheta’s raw pace, have looked like such assets in the brief glimpses we’ve seen. It’s a shame that the ones we took more of a ‘punt’ on have almost instantly gone down…

Goodwin’s issue is connected to the original injury. He’s now suffering from ‘forgot how to play football’

Does anybody know?

He is injured .So there is no news .

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Goodwin isn’t injured. He might even make the bench in the next seven days.

 

[Peterdev]

So frustrating with Goodwin. I’m sure there’s a player in there somewhere. He would surely offer a great option up fromt

 

[Oufccraig45]

Thought he is already well placed on the treatment bench

 

[Up The Manor]

Good news .I'm pleased for the guy .Only taken 8 months to get close to being match fit .

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

The lack of empathy for our injured players is a little disappointing. It happens.

These are elite athletes playing at the max and training day in day out. The likelihood of injury is very high and you can bet your bottom dollar they want to play way more than you want to see them play.

It’s their career and livelihood. They’re working all day every day to get match fit again.

Yes, and what’s strange to me is that some people seem to find it so funny - annoyed is maybe more understandable, but I don’t get why it’s seemingly so hilarious to some that one of our players is struggling to get fit

 

[Oufcrealist]

Cynicism and sarcasm are part of our literary make up.
Some people do it constantly, some hardly ever. I think all of us want Goodwin to be fit and a success, jokes about fitness are probably signs of frustration as much as anything. I hope he stays fit and bangs in 15 goals this season. Will it happen, who knows?

 

[BicesterU]

Three months ahead of schedule, if you believe what some were saying a month ago.

Which year ?

 

[BicesterU]

Which year ?

Can we please have a ‘yawn’ reaction button, admin?

 

[Jason N]

Goodwin played some part in the U21 game vs Luton this week, so not too far off coming back into the squad, hopefully.

He will be such a useful option to have.

What was up with Greg today?
