gurujuan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 As much as I don’t think Iorfa is a full back, perhaps he is the best bet to cover for Palmer. Yes we will miss his pace in the centre of defence, but against that, it does allow Borner to return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I just can’t see Monk starting Odubajo. He has had plenty of chances and not come good yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke are also missing all their left sided players, so it might be the perfect time to use Iorfa as an attacking right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I agree completely, just a huge shame we don't have any other LB. Wonder if we'll have enough room to sign anyone next month... 1 hour ago, hirstyboywonder said: I get where you are coming from but for the best part of 2019 Palmer has played better at left-back than he has at right-back and our results have been decent with him at LB too. Defensively, sure, he's great. But going forward it's frustrating. The balance is (obviously) just perfect with Fox. 1 hour ago, uɐıɹɐqɯıɹ⅁ said: Not actually true at all, he made plenty of decent left footed crosses when playing at left back, including a first time volleyed left foot cross that was into a really decent area (memorable as didn't expect it from him). Well, it is true, isn't it?! How many decent Palmer left foot crosses vs. Fox's? It's night and day. I'm not knocking Palmer, he's brilliant, I'd be saying exactly about Fox if he was on the right. Palmer naturally doesn't think about crossing with his left, no matter how much he may have been coached since he's played there. So he cuts back and we all know how frustrating that is when we're on the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Do we actually know what happened in the penalty area for him to get the blow to the head - stray arm or just a clash of heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozzy85 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Didnt think is ever say this. But we’ll miss him. Palmer is capable though so it’s all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox was behind him and caught DA's right (?) arm across his right cheek. Initially, after seeing the replay, I thought it looked like he had been scratched in the eye by his hand and it was an eye problem, but his face was a swollen so I imagine it was a pretty hard impact. Also, someone said in another thread that he was admitted to the NG Hospital with a very swollen face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he can carry on doing fitness work, will having a rest from matches and be ready to go again in January. Unless he's on the enhanced care pathway then it's 2 weeks complete rest - no training/exercise of any type at all Followed by a 6 day graduated return to play programme - so 21 days before returning to play - minimum If the guidelines are being followed of course...

jonnyowl Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Been fantastic recently, but will he get back in the side? Borner has been brilliant this season, got suspended couldn't get back in side. Hutchinson suspended, Luongo deserves to keep his place after last two games Suppose it's a good problem to have!

What does the enhanced care pathway entail and why don’t we bang him on that? Guess it’s some intense programme of observation that’s time prohibitive to the player or something? I could just google this really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 That’s the beauty of having a few good options at the back. We have 7 or 8 good players, some of whom are adaptable, from which to choose a back four Get that type of competition all over the park, and we can take these type of setbacks in our stride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
