gdm Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Huge blow but I’ve faith in howe, burn target & Bruno. We’ll get more wins and draws and Those 9 points are huge and gave us a massive chance of staying up and really kicking on next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Perhaps we can go towards this: Schar Lascelles Burn Murphy Targett Bruno Joe Willock ASM Wood Basically 5-3-2 / 3-5-2 I know Targett is more defensive but can see that working - better than the likes of Kraft who is terrible in both a back 4 and a 5 There's no-one really else that can fit there. Manquillo would have been a great like-for-like with minimum disruption so it's sod's law both went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krafth? I definitely saw a lttle hobble by Tripps in 1st half injury time. I saw him hobbling in his right back position when the ball was being played on the left hand side of the pitch. I saw it but as he continued to play on, I was relieved. If anyone can have a look back at it, I'm sure there was a tangle of sorts for the ball that he was involved with a Villa player and another one of ours. I might be wrong. Injury time 1st half.

The Butcher Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Not the end of the World. We'll miss him, but we'll still pick up points without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Even if he's out to the end of the season, he's still one of the signings of the season and already paid back that £12m with the two goals and culture/mentality shift instilled into the rest of the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Time for Krafth to step up. Need a handful of 6 out of 10 performances from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Huge blow which is only worsened by the fact that instead of going from Trippier to Manquillo we're likely to go from Trippier to Krafth. Don't get the calls from people calling for a change in formation off the back of this though. The 433 works because it allows Joelinton to cover ASM's workload. Murphy cannot defend and not sure Targett would offer enough going forward as a wing back. We just need to stick with our current set up and go with Krafth. The defence gets good protection with our current formation and allows us to press aggressively. Edited February 14, 2022 by PlymouthGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I wonder if Fraser's work rate etc can allow him to play RB, and in front of him have Almiron who's also very hard working. Basically trying to think of any and all scenarios which would enable us to NOT use Krafth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hate to be overly negative on this but the average healing time for "full" recovery is 3 to 5 months. Because it's so easy to re-fracture there's no way he'll be rushed back. Potential career ender if it re-fractures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Krath has been better recently. Although he got lucky with the disallowed goal as it all came from a dreadful pass by him straight to villa.

It was a fracture, I got a moon boot which I wore for 8 weeks, it then kind of healed, but if I get a kick or a stamp on it again, it will break and again today it’s still sore my foot if say I press on that area. Just realised I’ve had a broken ankle, a broken arm, a broken finger and fractured metatarsal, 2 of those from playing football! He'll have a compression screw inserted I guess.

Kid Icarus Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Howe seems very much a square peg in square holes manager, so I think it's much more likely we'll see Krafth at RB than there being a change in system to get Murphy in at RWB for example.
