I pray they get this right, this simply isn't a player to be rushed back too soon, he's extremely important to us, and I'd be more hesitant with his return.

 

 

I don't mean this as a troll or insult but if I had to choose between what you'd do and what the medical staff has deemed the correct path I know what I'd choose. I do agree he is important so I hope they get it right. The original injury was a combination of Sven wanting to play and differing doctor's opinions.

I wouldn’t play him ever again. Just in case.

In fairness they were the ones who rushed him back last time and now he’s been out for over a year as a result

Missed my point. From what we heard, the player was agitating to play and you can't force a player to have surgery. I wouldn't want to live in a world where you could.

You can sit him anyway but with different doctors opinions including Botman's doctors own second opinion, again, as I recall, it wasn't just Newcastle doctors fucking it up. They sit him despite his medical report he brings, sounds like a very unsettled player.

 

All that is based on reports of course. I never examined his knee.

Love the fact the lads were there to support him

 

I was in genuine suspense when he walked up the stairs. Was convinced something was going to go wrong.

Nailed on for his first start v Bromley I reckon. 

 

Hopefully gets a few runs from the bench between now and then.

No need to be sarcastic, it's pretty obvious I was meaning caution. Seen it before players rushing back and something freakish happening.

Yeah, sounds like maybe bench at Man Utd and/or Spurs.

I thought he was quite funny actually.  A nice distraction.

[Big River]
