Not ruled out according to EH. 

 

If it was another manager, I'd have more hope.  But he loves smoke and mirrors in his press conferences.  He must be nowhere near full fitness and all.  He already looked a yard off it vs Fulham and then got the injury or reaggravated an existing knee problem.  

 

I remember when Tindall did one and followed his approach.  He tried to make out Isak might play at the weekend.  But he was terrible at it and it was such a blatant lie.  I think he didn't play for another few weeks after that game :lol:

He’s been poor on the ball and with some of his daft challenges of late. But we really do take his off the ball work and running for granted. 
 

Not Hall’s fault at all. As not many players can do what Big Joe does and play 3 positions at once. But I thought he struggled positionally a bit at times that half. 
 

Seems like the Joelinton/Anderson slightly wider at LCM then LB out of possession role for Hall tonight. Pretty niche.

So he’s missing those 3 big games we need him in due to injury. Not a couple of them because of his expected yellow card ban. 
 

Hope he’s back soon. Not sure that system will work every week and we don’t really have anyone else to play LCM. Willock is horribly out of form.

Someone needs to step up in his absence. As I’m still not convinced we have anyone able to cover his LCM role. 
 

Willock so out of form it’s untrue. Longstaff is poor there and I’m not a fan. Miley is still a kid. But it does feel like he deserves a chance now. 
 

I guess we were going to rotate this weekend regardless. I also think the sort of 5 at the back will be used against City. But it won’t work against Forest.
 

So it would be good if someone could step up and really shine in midfield in Joe’s place.

How long does the yellow card thing carry for? Because would it be worthwhile playing him for final minute of one of games to get a yellow card so he’s then clear of it for his return? :D

Do think this should and will be Miley breakout moment when he stakes a legit claim for LCM spot. Think it’s easily forgotten how good he was last season, for what he came into and produced, in biggest games.

 

If he was a top 6 media club, the narrative would’ve been in overdrive.
