Danh1 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Totally agreed with that, without him we are toothless. Could tell in the Villa game he wasn't 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 In the past 8 weeks alone he's had more comebacks than Audley Harrison. He's our best player but we shouldn't use him unless he's 100% confident in his hamstrings. It's a pisstake because had he not sustained that injury at Brentford we'd be promoted and on the verge of securing the title by now. 100% truth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Stick him up front with crutches. Still more likely to score than some of our current lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Can we not just rip out Dummett's hamstrings and glue them to Gayle? It's a sacrifice we should probably make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 How many games has Gayle missed this season, and whats our record in them? They put up an interesting stat prior to the Leeds game, we hadn't lost a game when Gayle hadn't started. Obviously the Ipswich disaster changed that stat, but it was a little shocking.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Tbf, our form initially after his first injury was fine but our goals scored suffered when Mitro started his run of games in February. I'm not entirely putting our bad 2nd half season on his injury, something doesn't feel right for me with how we are playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Players that are that explosive generally have tighter hamstrings, it's part of the reason they're so quick. Ergo they suffer a lot more injuries. If he learnt to be play within himself a bit, he'd be injured less. He's got enough awareness around him to still be effective without a yard of pace or so. Would rather have him at 90% for 38/46 games than 100% for 20-25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely putting our bad 2nd half season on his injury, something doesn't feel right for me with how we are playing. I tend to agree it's bigger than one player however the shape of the team is so focused on Gayle being the man up top, the replacements Mitro and Murphy are totally different players and that requires a different way of playing, hell he's even tried playing Gouf up there in the hope that he is more similar to Gayle. Personally I am more worried about the lack of impact from whomever has been given the number 10 role, his system is dependent so much on having quality in both those roles, we've lacked it badly.

Just think we've run out of steam a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Bellamy used to get a lot of these injuries with us after going on explosive goalscoring / assisting runs. It's common for players like those, which is why we need proper backup. Like the SHOLA OF OLD! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
