McDog Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 18 minutes ago, alexf said: I was hoping both him and Gordon came off sooner in that Forest game. With hindsight we now know Murphy wasn't capable of coming on,but it still doesn't change the fact that Eddie has been reluctant to bring people off when we are trying to see out a game. He just doesn't seem to trust the others. But I think that mentality is costing more than potential dropped points in one off games. Sure we might have conceded a late goal at Forest if we had subbed Gordon or Wilson sooner, but we now have lost Wilson for 2-3 months where he might have contributed to more than the potential 2 dropped points. I know it's impossible to truly predict injuries, but there is definitely a pattern where players, especially those returning from injury, have been pushed beyond their physical limits. Joelinton, Willock, Isak to name a few. A torn pec is highly unusual in football. It's a regular thing in American football as it's a big muscle and it takes some torque to tear it. This one doesn't fall under the "knackered and got injured" category is my thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Although even under Bruce, Wilson was bad for injuries. in actual fact on Tuesday he will have had more days out injured than Michael Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t want to be third choice and has removed a bid for a house in Newcastle. Needs to take a pay cut if he wants to stay.

Pata Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Wilson would have to be extremely thick if he got mad that we didn't let him go in January. And the line about not wanting to heal as quickly as possible. Why are people linking made up bullshit like this, surely you don't want to give clicks and views to bullshit merchants and encourage them to come up with even more ludicrous rumours in the future?

Optimistic Nut Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 This is where the club are going to need to start being ruthless and ignore fan reaction a bit more. There'd have been a lot of negativity had we sold him last summer or in January but we probably should have done it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of those saying we needed to give him a contract extension, but I'm a fan, what the fuck would I know? We need ruthless overlords, take no prisoners.

You've just taken the wildly disparate views of two different posters and equated them with the board as a sum. Don't think it is the board that is weird.

In other threads for other people.... most people are advocating patience.. no? I really can't tell if you're on the wind up these days, but wouldn't it depend case to case? Wilson was banging them in last season, but he had a poor injury record prior to that. In hindsight last summer would have been the perfect time to sell him. Same could be said of Almiron, although he is at least good to play for the majority of a season so he's never going to be a liability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 It hasn't worked out but I'm glad the players who had years of shite and then got us into the champions league had a crack at it. Easy to say Wilson should have been sold but he was coming off the back of a cracking season and was happy to be rotated with Isak which gave us a striker and backup better than the majority in the league too.
