Injuries (4 Viewers)

[Briles]

With the games coming thick and fast before the WC, we have godden out, dabo out, Kelly out, sheaf potentially out, waghorn out. We are a bidwell injury or suspension for having no LB and a gyok injury away from having walker (who's on his way back from injury) as our only experienced striker.

Who do you think could step up from the youth? I'm worried our only other true LB is reid who can't get on the bench. I know howley and tavares are on the cusp, but anyone else you'd want to see fill a gap?

Think it’s time to bury the hatchet with Kane regardless.

Doyle can play left back.

Agree. Don’t think we’ve got a choice. That’s why he brought Kane on today 15 or so mins from the end. Robins has clearly tried to prioritise Eccles over Kane, but now the squad needs both. He needed to get some mins under Kane.
Fair play to Kane though. At Stoke, he played a few mins (more than he has all season) and was one of the first and longest to stay in front of the SBA applauding. Not something I’d normally acknowledge, but got someone who’s been alleged to have a bad attitude previously- I looked out for it.

Never seen him play there, any good?

Not great Eccles is ahead of him out of position

What is it 5 games left till WC? Think we can get through with a strong 11 till then.

World cup timing may work out for us

Yeah defo. Just wondering if anyone else is knocking on the door in the u21s. What happened to bapaga?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Because of a falling out more than because of ability. It does Eccles no good to be played out of position anyway. With a squad as small and depleted as ours, we haven't got time to be omitting players who can do a job and will do one if given the opportunity.

Was about to say this. Its not the worst time to get injuries as they may be back after the WC.

We always seem to go all in with our injuries. It's either one or two key players out with something that takes a while, rather than just a knock, or we end up having multiple players from the same position out injured.

Dressing rooms always seemed tight. Couldn't see him being ostracised by the players so maybe that's kept him positive whilst Robins proves his point. But Robins is stubborn as fuck. Bomb squad is the bomb squad. And he publicly said kane would be going. I hope he can swallow his pride and reward kane (if deserved)

We got about 5 acl Injuries in 2 years

Only seen him for England U21's and he looked decent I thought

 

[SkyblueDad]

Fingers crossed our injuries aren’t to our major players even Dabo is covered. But we are about on our limit and I think we have three players on four yellows so as I said fingers crossed.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Has a 'prognosis' actually been given for Walker?

 

[SBAndy]

Fucking hell. Dabo was already injured going into tonight. Why the fuck did Kane not play? (I know the answer, but still)

Tweaked ligament wasn't it, rather than a full rupture? A couple/few weeks I seem to remember.

Never been right since his hip lay off. Wonder if he's on Injections?

 

[Jamiepwns]

Doyle can play left back.

As can Panzo

Pretty sure he's been training with the team again

 

[AOM]

Did Robins give an update on the injuries after the game?

See match thread

 

[Esoterica]

It's a pity that Godden got injured but if we go back to the box with Palmer and O'Hare behind Gyo, with Allen as a back up, the first XI is still really strong. More worried about Fadz 4 yellows than I am the injuries!

Energy levels will be pretty drained though. Annoying that we're playing these rearranged games when players will be dead on their feet in winter rather than getting sharp in August but it is what it is.

I disagree Briles.

Sheafs ok that was a tactical change.

I don’t think it’s good news for Dabo

 

[PVA]

Has there actually been a falling out with Kane?

There was all those stupid rumours about him shagging another players wife etc and Robins rubbished the notion of anything like that.

We were quite clearly open to offers for him, if not actively trying to sell him, and there were more rumours of a fallout early season but it turned out he was just injured.

If there was a falling out then he wouldn't feature at all. Seems to me he's just dropped down the pecking order.

Who'd have thought starting somebody who isn't fit would have consequences

 

[Matt smith]

Sheaf isn’t injured

 

[Matt smith]

I don’t think waghorn will be out for that long

Dabo will be

 

[Saddlebrains]

Kane is a decent player

Has more goals and assists than Dabo for a start

Dont think we will miss him

 

[jordan210]

So injury wise currently

Dabo
Godden
Kelly
Waghorn
Walker ?

So that leaves us with 2 strikers left.

Lucky for midfield we have some cover.


At this rate can we recall Dacosta, Who appears to be struggling to get game time at Shrewsbury.
