Always worth telling the surgeons you have an important football match to watch so they get a move on.

Yeah same really. Like a lot of others I would have liked to have seen Simms start if so many crosses going into the box, but it’s clear Frank sees something in the Hound and is after a bit of stability in the starting 11.

I imagine the thought with resting certain players would be so they’re fresh for the home game; e.g. playing a more attacking or possession based team at home?

I have missed a few games this season, watched the one where he got injured though.

Was he? I only remember seeing him play there late on in one game where we needed a goal? He might have played there late on in a couple of other games, but I haven’t seen him start as a central striker since the first run of games after his move here.

He definitely has a certain lack of finesse. Always battles though and seems to like an early shot / isn’t afraid to have a go. Think at the moment he’s nothing more than a useful squad / bench option when we’re looking for fresh legs or to defend from the top. I would be surprised if he...

They were right at the beginning of his time here weren’t they? I personally think he was still settling in. He has played down the middle a few times late on in games under Robins and looked good.

I genuinely didn’t look it up! But your clue saying you were surprised he managed a shot on goal and then Parks saying it was over his career at other teams not necessarily us is what gave it away!

Sean Maguire?

Okay last guesses for me. Gyokeres and Godden

Tyler Walker?

Hiwula and Bakayoko? Luke Thomas as an outside guess

I’m sure you covered massive distances in both games, with plenty of sprints. The excellent post-Xmas game balanced nutrition of 5 bottles of red wine, 7kg of turkey and stuffing probably helped you to recover so quickly. The reality is you should have been playing at a higher level than you...

I think we’ve looked generally pretty fit (wahey!) this season in the latter parts of games. Even if the performances have been a bit crap at times. However, I have absolutely no proof of this and could be because we’re usually a goal down and chasing a game 😂 So basically I’m taking Lampards...

Personally think that’s a very difficult thing to tell without seeing any actual info. Certainly players that are being used more regularly will be a bit more up to speed now. It’s a fine balance between playing regularly and playing *too* regularly.

Of course I realise that. However, that’s statistically much much more likely if he plays 90+ mins of football, 5 times in 15 days. That is why rotation does and will happen.

Haha Lati has done okay at CB barring that one major error. I do not want to see him at RB…

This is honestly exactly the same as when Sakamoto apparently got “dropped” after playing well, when in actual fact he was just being prevented from playing too much football too soon into the season.

It’s about likelihood of injury being massively increased - you understand that right? It’s not about what the player prefers to be doing. If it was we wouldn’t have Dr Claire kicking their Xboxes out of the window at 2am and tucking the lads in. It’s about looking after their fragile, jelly...

Three games in 9 days is a lot for anyone. I think Eccles will start in some of the away fixtures personally.
