Dr Jinx Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Bruno Willock Longstaff is an ok midfield to put out. Isak, Wilson and Almiron up front. Joelinton isn’t a bad option to bring on if needed, but then also, we may not need so in that case Howe will just leave him sitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if players don't get suspended for cat-kicking then they shouldn't be suspended for drink-driving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) If the club have a policy on stuff like this to suspend players then he will (and should) be suspended, or if Howe thinks it's worthwhile to the squad to do so. There's really no need for us to ban him just for the sake of banning him. He'll lose his licence, be fined, and has been shamed in the media, it's probably enough like Edited January 14, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 10 hours ago, The Prophet said: So do we think Joelinton will play on Sunday? No, but it looks like Eddie is genuinely unsure of his decision. I think he needs to make his mind up soon, if he hasn't already. I can understand the different lines of argument, but my gut feeling is that the club needs to publicly recognise that the player has committed a significant offence. We often say that there are issues that are bigger than football, and I just feel this is an occasion when we have to live up to that. Ultimately, there are benefits in showing we can rise to our responsibilities. Just for one match, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I get the impression Eddie doesn’t want to drop Joelinton for the game. Wether he plays I think depends on Joelintons mindset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lish007 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I think the seriousness of the situation will be handled by the police and the courts. He sounds very remorseful and upset, it may have been an over confidence thing like he didn't think he was over the limit at all or underestimated his abilities. Not condoning it at all, but he will face the consequences of his actions just like everyone else that does it and gets caught doing it. But each "job" is different and it's down to the club and Howe and how they think it is appropriate. Not everyone would even tell their job it's happened and nothing would affect them at work apart from serious questions of why they can't drive anymore. It's not a grey area because he is being punished. Whatever Howe and the club decide I support. And I hope he learns a valuable lesson from this and grows up. And never does it again.

Doctor Zaius Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I really dont think he'll play tomorrow like. I dont think he should. Clearly there'll be some sort of team conduct agreement to which you'd expect drink driving to be a part of. Anyway, it's not a good look for the club if there if hes sent straight out to play. We'll miss him but Im more than happy for Willock to slot into midfield and ASM to come in on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I doubt it’s that. Firstly you never want to give the opposition any knowledge of your team early. Also to confirm immediately a decision would reflect poorly on EH as the more it looks like it’s being prolonged the more thought it looks as if he’s given it and less time outsiders can rock the boat pre match. He’ll be on the bench at least unless those above EH request otherwise. Maybe even unused if possible. Would be very surprised he’s not in the squad.

We'll lose some steel, but will be exciting to see Maxi and Miggy 2.0 on the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Ivan Toney played and scored, despite being on 252 charges. Thomas Frank has backed him all the way as well. I'd rather the club make Joelinton do hundreds of hours of club-based community service than drop him from games, if he's mentally up to starting.

gbandit Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Aye, we badly needed him today. With Bruno out he becomes our most important midfielder across defence but also linking to attack as well.
