The Fletcher-Hooper partnership was fantastic, but instead of giving either/both a break they were flogged to death. I was probably as guilty as most wanting them in every game - they are my preferred duo in a two - but it was wrong. They needed rest. They aren’t two flea-fit players in their early 20s The Fletcher/Hooper is fantastic.....for Gary Hooper. Not the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWAWUTO17 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 They all cool down properly after the game also. They come back out on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Saw a quote from Pulis the other day where he said that in this league you play 3 times a week 14 times a season. Presumably includes some cup games but illustrates the problem. Nobody , other than Kieran Lee at his peak can start all those. We are 5 games into a 46 game season and can’t afford to lose players through overplaying them. Especially those coming back from long term injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you mention that we have players coming back from injuries and we need to give them a rest bla bla ...i get that when you are playing a rotating system but the contradiction here is jos has played one of the most injury prone players ever to put on a wednesday shirt 3 times in a week in matias??? Or does he need game time or summat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong rumours from him that calling it a day is a serious possibility for him at the moment. Be gutted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jos has mixed and matched and rested and eased back. We have won three and drawn one of the above 5 played.....and yet all many of us can do is moan and winge that Jos didn’t start this player or that player. We we just got rid of a manager that ran players dry, and when they were dry he ran them some more. We had one fit first teamer for a third of the season due to this approach. Cut Jos some slack guys. He is managing a fragile set of players back to health. After Reading we get two weeks off. It will be brilliant if we get thru Tuesday and Saturday with no injuries, threatening the play-offs, and Winnall, Lee and Hooper a couple of weeks nearer action. Im utterly delighted with our position and how we seem to be be managing our valuable assets like athletes rather than dray horses. Really poor OP; designed for plusses. Which you've got. Your anti-ff agenda is transparent, predictable & boring to a few on here. Yes some rotation is needed. But we need reasonable settled side & to play our better footballers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
