crookesowl Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 With these guys starting we are a very good team, no doubt. Without them we are simply woeful. Can’t help but feel our season and championship survival (under Monk) is dependent on their fitness Oh boy it’s gonna be a long season.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everywhere & nowhere Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Agree with this - my view is that when we can start games with Bannan, Brown and Luongo as our midfield 3, then we’ll win more than we’ll lose, when we can’t then the opposite applies.

I don't think we are very good, we're just competitive with these players in the side. Mid table at best. They won't stay fit all season though so we're pretty much screwed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Three massive players out currently. They make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 If we are placing everything on the fitness of Brown and Luongo then we are done for. We’ll get a maximum, at best, 18-20 games from them both. These 2 players don’t make us a ‘very good’ team I’m afraid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season was his first bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 So much for Monk wanting players that can play 40 games a season. Signs Brown, knows about Luongo fitness issues yet decides to sign a center back with a broken leg rather than another central midfilder. Just one of long line of Monks failings! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Luongo was never a sick note before us , so very frustrating, iorfa generally fit too so let’s hope once they are back (surely it’s midweek or Wycombe at latest ) they start back . As for Izzy unfortunately seems very injury prone so may see spells where’s he’s unavailable unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Not seen enough of Brown, but Iorfa and Luongo key defensive players. For a team who don't know how to attack, losing these players means we start conceding goals and therefore losing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmciverslovechild Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Same old failings as the last few seasons....just relying on two or three players. Have them out injured and we're hopeless. For the most part the players brought in during the recent window simply aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Should stop acting like prima donnas and get back on the pitch, a few bruisers and its look at, me aren't I brave soldier?

If it happens expect them both to be out for the next 3 months unless we get very lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 We aren’t a very good side without them. We are just a bit better. Every club has injuries and you need to be able to cope with it. We signed Brown knowing he’s had a bad injury record over the past few seasons, so it’s not a surprise. Luongo missed chunks of last season for us, so again it’s not a shock to the management that he picks up injuries. No excuses this season please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably knew he was starting to pick up injuries and decided to cash in while they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s why the manager brought them in and the Chairman paid for them? That they all are injured at the same time is just bad luck. Luongo the following week was the killer blow, but that was nothing to do with the Manager or the Chairman! Obviously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
