I feel like we need to keep one of those, but they all have their pros & cons Still have to pinch yourself sometimes to realise that we have players of this quality on our books!

Costello 77 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 43 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: It's shocking how much football our forwards have missed due to injury, isn't it? Even João seems incapable of playing too many games in a row, leaving Nuhiu as our only reliably fit front man. Carvalhal's decision to play Hooper non-stop at the start of last season seems to have done some serious damage to him, which is really frustrating. If can find a way to get him and Forestieri fully fit and properly manage them through a season, we'd look a totally different team. CC was on a definitive mission...he wasn't going to spare the horses...it was sh*t or bust all the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo 100% what you say on flogging Hooper (and Fletcher) into the ground. It was so obvious one and/or other would blow up. Similarly FF was brought back too soon. As for Nuhiu and Joao, they were treated more compassionately by arch-villain Jos, who took a tonking on here several times for “dropping” them.

A goal every 150 mins of play. So that’s two strikers who were poor for us but excel elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are playing 10 minutes every other week, that 150 minutes is a decent length of time If they were playing 75+ minutes a game then i'd class them as excelling I really hope Norwich think he's doing well, that's all that matters.

Given his previous fitness record, starting Hooper in 22 of our opening 24 league fixtures (and using him as a substitute in the other two) which stretched from August until Boxing Day, might not have been the wisest move. If Carvalhal had rested him every now and then, we might have had him available for a longer period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew that 150 minutes isn't the same amount of time depending on whether it's broken up into 10 minute or 75 minute chunks.

Playing 90 minutes every week and scoring one every 150 minutes is doing well.

There is no bigger fan of Hooper than myself, but I must agree with Steve Bruce that our playing staff is too large. We have too many 'long term injured', who, without being unsympathetic, but down-to-earth pragmatic, are useless to the club. Any player who is off for a long term, and isn't available for selection, has a usefulness of ZERO Were the decision to rest between Winnall and Hooper, it would have to fall to Winnall every time, since he can actually take the field. We all tend to cling to the past, but fail to face up to the situation as it is NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably, it's more impressive to be able to score at such a rate when only getting fragments of game time here and there and having to quickly adjust to the pace of a game.
