Current Player Matt Phillips

[Carpy]

Matt Phillips Signed: 1st August 2024 ​

 

[Berliner]

Ah, the next member of the "Hamstrings like Blu-Tack" brigade then...shame!

 

[SSO]

But we were saying this at the start. We had the deepest squad ever but that at any given time we could be without 4 or 5 players. This has come round a bit sooner than expected but gives players the chance to step up and show their worth.

Every team will experience this at some point. As it stands with those fit we still have a better matchday squad than last season and that should be enough to stay competitive.

Is it his hamstring? Be good to know.

Weirdly in this article the OM claimed Phillips was back in contention last weekend.

The thing is though, Bennett is out "till January" which is in 4 months, so why say "no timeframe" with Phillips?
The challenge seemed innocuous enough as well.
All very puzzling.

Disagree the challenge (on Phillips) looked innocuous.

Watch it back. The PNE player sets out to catch him without a thought for the ball.

Complete “ thuggery” by PNE, they were abysmal.
How Dembele came away without injury is a mystery.

It's all quite on him where the article that he's out for months ?

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

It was a risk that looked like it may pay off. Sadly, perhaps predictably, it did not. Shame, looked a player.

Are you totally writing him off?

His history and age probably suggest he's in the Autumn of his career.

 

[Scotchegg]

Christ, the guy didn't just crumble. He was injured as a consequence of Preston kicking everyone up in the air.

Ed Waldron summed it up perfectly at the fans forum, some players are signed for the minutes that they'll play and some are signed for the magic they produce when they play. Phillips was always going to be someone that we nurture in and out of games even without him getting battered by dirty opposition. But the quality he has will continue to shine on his return, and I'm sure that he still has plenty of games still in him.

Are you also the sort of person that turns off a film before the third act and goes 'shame, predictably the main characters have ended up in a mess'?

I’m just happy that if I pull my hamstring on the way to my seat I’ll have plenty of experts around me to diagnose the injury..

 

[Peterdev]

I’d still like to know what’s happening with Goodwin.

 

[Jster]

He played in the U21 match on Tuesday, so is well on his way back from injury.

 

[Foley]

I’d still like to know what’s happening with Goodwin.

Played in u21 game this week alongside Scarlett, Knightbridge, Edwards and a few others.
So presumably pretty close to being in the squad

 

[Up The Manor]

I’d still like to know what’s happening with Goodwin.

Going out on loan in January.

 

[Jster]

The mystery deepens on exactly how bad the injury to Phillips is, as the official site effectively just describes him as a "doubt" for tonight's mach.

 

[bdodwell]

If play poker you keep your aces a secret. Unlike our previous but one manager, who announced to everyone the colour of his under garments.

 

[Keeper65]

Going out on loan in January.

6 weeks ??? Probably easier just to say he will be available in 2025 .What a strange signing, probably be beneficial to follow the science & medical reports .

The same player that’s on the bench tonight eh?
