Listened to Howe's injury update on Twitter. Murphy sounds like he is very close and Barnes not too far behind him. So maybe if we are lucky, Murphy will be back. Willock and Anderson sound more like March or even later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Can we skip to next season please? I can handle losing games and struggling. But these constant injuries aint it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) 10 of our 1st team squad have played less than 1,000 minutes so far this season. And 6 of those 10 have played 300 mins or less. Of the ones who'd played more than 1,000 minutes. Pope, Joelinton, Wilson, Isak, Burn, Botman and Longstaff have also been out injured. It's no wonder it's been a massively frustrating season. We've got a handful of players being worked to the bone (Bruno, Gordon, Trips, Schar) and loads of players barely contributing. I've never known anything like it.

We have no sort of midfield to compete for Europe as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not confident of a top 8 finish with this midfield. Joelinton could be out more than 6 weeks also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nee point getting your hopes up at that point even, they'll only reinjure themselves come matchday. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the meetings that are taking place around this stuff, the constant reaggravation of injuries and rushing players back needs addressing sharpish.

Geordie Boyo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Sounds like Jacob Murphy is the only player who is ahead, but you’re probably talking three to four weeks for him providing his scan is positive. Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock longer around a couple months by the sounds of it…..wha ta nightmare…..! Edited January 12 by Geordie Boyo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use Hall in there possibly I guess if he doesn't want to change formation, I just worry about having to play Miley first-choice for another 6 weeks.

Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock longer around a couple months by the sounds of it…..wha ta nightmare…..! A couple of months for Barnes when he's out on the grass running and booting balls about? I bloody hope not! All with a massive pinch of salt, of course. As our return dates invariably end up being pushed back. But it sounded to me like we might have some attacking options back sooner rather than later. 6 players for 3 positions. Imagine that! It's the midfield where we sound completely fucked.
