General_Grievous Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play on Wednesday. Really seemed to be struggling towards the end of the game on Saturday, and holding his hamstring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlBiSeeinThi Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yeah. I think he needs a rest anyway. He's been off it a bit the last two or three games. Give luongo and Lee a run out in the middle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl 44 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Looked as if he had cramp. Along with a few others. I've never seen so many players collapse to the floor at the end of a match as what did on Saturday. They looked absolutely knacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Bannan was so off his game on Saturday that I wondered if he was suffering a bit of flu or something. Seconds later he did a gut busting 50 yard dash to close down a defender, so that theory went out the window. Just an off day for him. He's allowed one or two after all the decent performances he's had. Unless injured, he starts Wednesday and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 if he is fit im sure he will start , id leave him out against forest though as we will need freshening up with 2 big away games only 67 hours apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Wouldn’t be to disappointed if Luongo came in for Bannan. Very useful player Is Luongo imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen so many players collapse to the floor at the end of a match as what did on Saturday. They looked absolutely knacked. We played with two out and out wingers and only a two man central midfield, those two midfielders had a high workload in that system filling gaps the wingers were often leaving, so not surprised they were feeling the pace. Second half was played at highest tempo by an Owls team I can remember for a couple of years. Hutchinson who had a great game was the first to cramp up (amazingly for him it was in Brentford’s penalty area) and got subbed. Brentford came really strong late on trying to salvage a point but far more of their players were on the deck gasping for breath at the final whistle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Any news on Fessi? We're quite reliant on Bannan... if he's in risk of injury, I'd save him for Saturday, rather stick on Luongo, Lee, Fessi (if fit), Reach, Hutch... we've got plenty of cover; not with Bannan's keen eye and ability to pick out players with excellent balls slicing through opposition, but looking at just the names of those 5, they're all great players too. Nuhiu on the bench, would rather play Fletcher/Rhodes combo up front again and see how that could work from start, better than Nuhiu from start anyway. Risk 3 at the back with Iorfa, Lees and Börner with Fox and Harris out the wings of 5 in the middle? Crazy strat away to Derby, I know, but fizz it, it's only a football stadium and 11 players on the other side too.. no need to go out too defensive ;) Edited December 9, 2019 by N0rtherner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me but I'd expect them to be knackered at the end of any game, if they're not I'd be asking a lot more questions! Only Dawson should be 'fit'.

Not checked it but someone told me before Saturday's game that FF goes back home. Even when he was at the top of his game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
