Away Toon Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Let's face it the odds on Wilson being crocked or not crocked are very heavily in favour of the former. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Did we play an actual team (not against each other) yesterday in the training game? Was used for the excuse so many were missing, but no further details came out what I have seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Full quote... "We’ve only seen Callum briefly. But I don’t want to give too much away to be honest. No (he isn’t injured), Callum’s come back OK. But with different training loads, I don’t want to get too technical, but we’ve just had to tread carefully with one or two players.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Sounds like common sense to me, the training regimes of an International tournament in the desert will be very different from getting back into the swing of things in the NE in December. He'll need time to adjust a few things and I'm sure Howe knows what to do with him. Isak on the other hand is another matter entirely and I'm starting to get a bit twitchy about his injury tbh.

Why?, looks like he's had a similar injury to Stewart at Sunderland and look at how long he was out for.

It’ll be interesting to see if January plans change at all in relation to both situations. I agree the Wilson situation doesn’t sound anything particularly concerning but his history always makes us assume the worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Watched him a lot last night and his leadership of the high press is phenomenal. There’s quite a lot of hand signals there for when to press and when to stand off etc. At Bournemouth goal kicks he was literally telling where people to stand and at one point he turned round and basically said to Burn “this is coming to you” and within 5 seconds Burn had won it back.

SiLvOR Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Looked sharp, and as @bowlingcrofty said, very vocal and leading the line. Glad he "scored" as well, will only help his confidence going to Leicester. Not that he's shy of confidence, mind you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Deserves a large chunk of credit for the own goal last night as he literally barged the defender into heading 'on' target. Not a foul as the reverse scenario is considered good defending... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
