room0035 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So key first team players need game time and match fitness such as Wickham, Fox, Fessi but not in the under 23's presumable no excuses from Monk come Saturday that the players are not match fit.

Can just imagine your reaction if they played and got injured Why do Fox , FF need game time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Fox has been out for some time and we are told if we can believe the manager that he is back in training, at normal clubs you don't throw players straight into the first team without a few warm up games, we don't have them any more so the development games is all we have. As for Fessi he has been out for nearly most of the season and playing 20 mins here or half a game there, is not going to get his match sharpness, play him in a few development games will get him match fit. It not lie we are playing 3 games a week or anything they play once on a Saturday. Edited February 18, 2020 by room0035 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 minute ago, oldishowl said: Can just imagine your reaction if they played and got injured Why do Fox , FF need game time? Exactly. People were calling Monk clueless for playing Fletcher in an FA Cup tie after he got injured. It's got to the point now, where some fans will just not accept any decision Monk makes. And it's ridiculous. The Barnsley game was a prime example. All week on here, post after post, people stating the NEED for him to start with the front four he picked. After the game, he's "tactical inept" for picking that side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got 5 games over a fortnight starting this Saturday, imagine reaction if Fox and Fessi played for U23s today and got injured ruling em out for a few weeks. Monk would get slaughtered.

A key player, played most games this season and very important he is available for Saturday FF played 90 minutes on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t gain match fitness playing at that level, there’s no substitute for competitive first team games no matter what Room thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
