Will watch with great interest at the weekend to see if the likes of Patterson, Fraser and Robertson are rested because their club coaches think playing two matches in four days has taken too much out of them. We could all be surprised though and Fletch could start on Saturday. I won't hold my breath. Have any of them recently had a long pat off due to a serious knee injury that they were carrying months before their absence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Did very well tonight, played best part of 180mins for Scotland anyone who thinks Jos will start him at weekend is off there head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 We'll have forwards Nuhiu, João, Matias and Forestieri fit and available for Saturday. Why do we want to start someone that's just been involved in games Saturday/Tuesday before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do those three 24 year olds have in common that makes their managers play them, when our manager refuses to play 31 year old Fletcher on Saturday? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 If Jos manages injuries so well, then Fletcher should be ok to play. There's no point in saying how important is he is and then suggest not playing him in case he gets injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Brilliant. He can play two games in four days at international level but can’t play two games in a week for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Jos managing injuries well would lead him to play Fletcher? Surely not playing Fletcher could be seen as managing injuries well?

Surely not playing him (he’s not on pitch) is illogical for a football team, if he’s an important player. Or shall we rest all of our good players, and just lose every week. Gone are the days when players could play Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday and still perform hey!

shezzas left peg Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'd be asking Fletcher the question if I was jos, can you give us an hour on Saturday, see if we can build the platform and then give you a rest. You don't always have to drop or rotate someone out of the team/sqaud to give them a bit of a rest during the campaign. Give him the first half of games, then change things up at half time maybe, it's not like the old days when you only had one sub and need to save it in case of an injury. That way 45 mins or an hour rest regularly would help team cohesion too if your often starting the same line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlofOliveGrove Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Think he was expecting to be subbed earlier than he was last night so he'll be tired. Catch 22 because we desperately need him but 3 games in a week is a risk, especially for a player his age and with his injury history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 jos seems to be getting the blame for leaving players out because the medical boffins say they some of them arnt fit enough to play 3 games a week and if they do they are at risk of picking injuries ...carlos got blamed for ignoring this advice and then got stick for the players picking up injuries …….it's sad fact that as players advance into the later stages of there careers that some become a bit of a liability on the injury front which is probably one of the reasons that jos is trying desperately to build a younger squad which isn't easy to do when you cant buy players .

Beauchief Owl Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Jos, take note.Fletcher does well when he holds up the ball or flicks it on to supporting players. Unfortunately we don't tend to send players upfield to give the desired support hence he is often fighting a lone battle and his strengths are wasted IMO.
