Jim Wonk Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, prowl said: All the indications and reports I've heard from those who follow the the younger teams suggest Borukov isn't ready. I'd love to see him come in and be our saviour but if we try him too early it could ruin the lad. If essential we could put him on the bench and give him the last few minutes of a couple of games but it is likely he will need loans at a lower level to progress. We all love the idea of youngsters coming through like Urhoghide but sometimes they need more time. I think that Monk bringing Urhoghide through shows he is open to playing the youngsters when they are ready. The fact that Borukov hasn't stepped up probably means it's too early.

And all for a 4th round cup draw away at QPR. Yes, definitely, he really should have been rested for the Brighton game. And, no, my opinion will not change, even if, against all odds; we manage to get a result at QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF is fragile and has been ever since he arrived. He had a chronic knee problem early on and maybe arrived with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have Bernardo Silva Or a de broyne or a sterling? It's easy. Wonder if he got the scorn Lukuhay got for doing the same at Millwall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly think this is the last we will see of him in an Owls shirt and probably screws him up for getting a decent deal elsewhere at the end of the season. For us the club and the fans it's real body blow as he was the focal point of our attack and was miles better than anyone else we have in that position. This injury may force us to play a different style with less emphasis on having a target man and play forwards with more movement. This would mean players with pace like Harris and Murphy playing right across the front line rather than as out and out wingers. He has worked hard to get really slim and reduce the strain on his knees. But he should never been picked for that match. Bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Will we have any players next season? Aren't they all crocked and out of contract? We'll get a transfer ban and then be scrambling for numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Why are people so surprised, we were never going to get a full season out of him, yes he is a cracking player but so was Hooper and both have poor injury records. Fletcher along with others would be out the door come the end of the season, there are better, younger players out there and his wages would go along way to moving the club forward.

Guest mkowl Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 And he is just as likely to get injured 5 minutes into the Leeds game or indeed in training. You can't wrap players in cotton wool. Monk already stated why he played him - to get his fitness back after a few games out. Injuries happen c'est la vie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 And he has been in a very good shape this season. The virus thing aside, he's been available for selection despite putting himself in places where it hurts whenever he's played. I would have expected something to happen sooner as he's played a lot.

metaframe Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 He over extended his knee. It would have injured pretty much anyone. not playing him would have meant he didn’t do it, but never playing him would provide a 100% injury free record too.

I don't think that any of them have it in them to lead the line, without fletch we seem lost, only saviour can be a loan signing, who I don't know.
