It was no different to calling the retired Jos Luhukay and offering him the managers job Just bizarre things to do 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 What a great job. Just get "injured" and you can just have 6 months off on full pay. Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weirdest bit for me is he didn't sign in the summer.....but then does in January. Waiting out for a better option maybe that never came? TBH i think we're on borrowed time with Hutchinson as well, I cant quite believe he's gone from very little to all the games in a row.

Lord Snooty Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Shame about Moses. I thought he'd looked one of our brighter players in the few weeks prior to his injury. Looked a bit more like the player I thought we were signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful team management vs Stoke..got to look forward I know but still seething. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooogs Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 2 hours ago, CircleSeven said: How long does it take for someone to actually get match fit? Brown has been visibly unfit for months and months! Surely daily shuttle runs, interval training etc should get someone with a reasonable level of fitness up to speed in a couple of months not half a bloomin year! The Fiss and Brown news is the really concerning stuff - they've both been here since August or September. What exactly is our training regime if it can't keep uninjured players at a baseline level of match fitness? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Powell Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Needs more fitness training? Just what have the coaches etc been doing for 6 months 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t play wingers and could have signed in summer ? Luongo - very frustrating Joost Van Aken - Won’t see him again Odubajo - As above FDB - Get him out on loan no where near first team ready Izzy Brown - just wow. Marriott, we needed strikers, he's supposed to be one. To be honest I don't really know if he's ever been good or bad. He's never made much of an impression on me. Green, he was very good at one stage. We play Harris and Reach wide, maybe we wanted to do the same with Green. I presume he's just not fit or he's injured. Van Aken, I'll be heartbroken when he leaves, (who is he?) Odubajo, I think he was dreadful but he's improved loads and worth his place. I'd sign him again although I accept I might be on my own in that respect. FDB, not first team ready, a loan might be the best option for him. I think there's a player in there. Brown. He's been quality elsewhere, no sign of it here. I don't think we use him right. I don't think you can have him and Bannan in the same midfield.

Blatter Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Why do two players who’ve been at the club all season need more fitness training before they can play. Five months does seem rather a long time to get fit does it not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five months does seem rather a long time to get fit does it not? Yep training 5 days a week for months should get anyone fit. I don't buy it that they're not fit, not match sharp perhaps as they're not getting game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
