Bloomin Eck, here we go again

[longreach]

Shakes head in disbelief!! 

[glynnb]

And so it begins again...the age old saga of Wednesday players missing games. I know he's done nothing contact wise all lockdown and all players are prone to niggles at this stage,  but it is just so predictably Wednesday. FFS

[Guest wilyfox]

Have to let him go then. That's one decision made easier. 

[NeonLeon]

Got to go if that’s the case. Pointless keeping him on to realistically only be fit for 3-4 games. 
 

 

[alanharper]

Forgot about him tbh. He wouldn't be in the team anyway when everybody's fit - question is, how long will everybody stay fit...

And so it begins

And that my friends is the Wednesday way.

Ha optimism tank draining away, just in time for the Saturday 2pm team announcement of Lees, Pelupessy, Da Cruz and Nuhiu in the starting line up

it won’t be exclusively our club that gets this kind of injury 

 

they all will

[striker]

Yeah, but 3 games only about 6 days isn't it with the condensed fixture schedule

Very true.

 

Unfortunately, it’s true to our luck that there’s an element of gamble with this one though due to his loan being up before he’d be back fit. It’s also an injury that could easily carry and carry for weeks.

And it starts 

[Guest]

Not a big miss really

[Guest Maxine]

Bleedin hell. 

[cowl]

Can't wait for this about-to-be-restarted season to finish.

[glynnb]

In that photo you can see he has got a very badly bruised arm 

[AsioOtus]

Get the point about releasing him and we, like everyone else have lots of cash problems, but it's a two sides of the same coin.  Hard to be upset when players we want to stay don't commit whilst at same time pushing ones we don't want out as soon as we can.  Footballers and football teams both as bad as each other.  

Maybe FFP issues, but I think to build the right culture and team spirit, we should be extending (or cancelling) contacts for all not picking and choosing. Hard to expect loyalty when we don't show it as a club.  It's not like culture and team spirit seemed before this, but we should be working to improve it not make worse.

Even players like Bates in my opinion should be extended. Fact that he probably shouldn't have been signed is a separate issue, we made the decision to sign him so should do it properly.  

If cash or FFG is that serious and issue (and they could well be) then we should be explaining it and being honest both with players and fans, not doing it piecemeal. Might be right thing to do, but culture will take another blow and even longer to repair.

Get used to it

With so little training and game time, we'll get loads of muscle injuries, as will everyone else.

 

There'll be a lot of game time for youth players.
