Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted January 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2019 · Westwood fit again · Hutchinson strain but fine for Saturday · Pelupessy out with an ankle ligament niggle. Probably another week. · Joao fit , well and available · Fernando – Doing well but Saturday is too soon. Hamstring. Don't want to risk. Chelsea game? We’ll see how he progresses. · Hooper – Doing well. Running now. Will be back in 3 to 4 weeks proper training. · Lee- Set back. Can’t put a timescale on it. · Abdi needs games and will play for U23’s next week. If he plays again for the first team…it’ll be in the hands of the players · Hector – We thought Michael did well at the base of midfield. But we won’t commit to saying where he’s going to play in future · Wigan – Are a team who’ve been promoted. A sticky patch recently but they got a great win at Villa and we expect a very good game. We’ve analysed them and are looking forward to it. · Hull – We’ve address that. I think we got a reaction in the Cup game from the players. If we play with the intensity that we can, and that they show in training, I don’t see why we can’t put in a good performance and get three points. · Bruce - The conversations we’ve had have mainly been positive. Apart from the Hull game! · Neeskens Kabano – Anything to do with January and transfers are nothing to do with me they’re to do with Steve and the Chairman. It’s not my remit. Of course having pace improves clubs chances of attacking. · Transfers out – We want to keep the group together. · Embargo – Not my remit. Myself , Lee and the other staff are here for the football side. Everything to do with that is for the Chairman and Steve. · Time – We need time to turn it around and to get the team playing how we want them to play. But the players are picking up bits all the time. Also we will need a bit of luck. · Demands – Steve Bruce will insist on intensity and tempo and speed 4 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowOwl Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Has abdi been doing a John Terry while the boys are playing on saturdays? Sounds like they don't want him there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he means if the players don't play well enough to keep their spot but it an unusual way of putting it. A more natural way would be to say that it was up to Abdi to earn his place. ... or ...

Mr. Tom Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Abdi been making friends left, right and centre by the sounds of it Thought it looked as though he and FF were close from Watford days when AA signing was first announced*, but never really seen any evidence of that since. *Sheffield Wednesday in their B.A. years (before Abdi) - a simpler time when all this were nowt but (non-Desso) fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other players should keep their hands to themselves. If Abdi has been played with, by the other players, maybe that is the rot, often referred to, that is within the club. I would rather SA did not touch any more on this. It's put me right off my late lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get it. Was he implying that AA was a bit of an outcast with the players and that he should have a clean slate but ultimately that was up to the players?

No. Just reinforcing the clean slate and players need to prove themselves... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
