@owlstalk Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Darren Moore : “He’s had a little bit of a strain because of the pitches being rock hard. It’s not settled since we got him back into training as we’d liked, but we’ve got to ease off with him a little. We don’t want to push him back too soon. If you push too soon, then you can lose him for longer. We’re basically assessing him before every game - and when he’s system free then he’ll be good to go. We just don’t want to risk him” 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Said it at time and will say it again giving him a contract extension was a mistake. I don't know if he is a 'bad egg' but he is never available enough. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 We’ve been saying the same thing about Hutchinson since 2014. He’s a brilliant player, but you can’t rely on him to be fit week in & out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ******** rocket science what the issue is, but the frozen pitch is definitely a new excuse. It's not dropped below 10 degree for the last 6 months making a frozen pitch impossible. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say frozen? If you are going to have a go the club at least attack them for something they have said or done not just make it up.

Have you played football for a team? You do know that late summer/early autumn pitches are hard (hence “hard ground” boots aka “mouldies”)? Pitches get soft after sustained rainfall and/or snow. This is what DM is referring to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourteenerOwl Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 3 minutes ago, Mike Hunt said: Another Pearl of wisdom from our leader ps don’t play him in midfield and he has a lot more chance of staying fit Exactly this. He hardly ever gets injured at CB. I assume SH was crucial to us playing out from the back too, and the reason for signing no other CBs and more CMs. I understand playing him in CM when injuries dictate but then we cannot really play at all a few days later. Why can't they work this out. He needs managing. His body can only take one game a week if he has played CM. CB he is fine two games in a week, he plays like a sweeper for us at the back, reads the game from behind and less sudden changes in direction. He's like a different player. The thing is Sam will know about his own body, so he must get annoyed when he has to keep jeopardising his football career to play CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kidneys Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 And still Hutchinson has contributed more than Luongo but it must all be a conspiracy that Hutchinson is a 'bad egg' apparently. That was down to the idiot Monk freezing players out to suit his own ego. Play him at CB Moore you ******** moron instead of midfield where he no longer contributes. We have midfield players in abundance but Moore isn't satisfied unless he's playing players where they aren't suited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
