I hope this doesn't mean Hall loses his spot so Burn can go back to the left, that would be mental.

Can’t see that at all, Hall has been class.

We think that, but Burn always seems to be untouchable.

I think Hall offers so much with his progressive passing, especially in contrast to Tino that I think having 2 non ball playing FBs would be awful unless we changed the way we’ve been playing ,completely abandoning the horse shoe build up and somehow found away to always play through the middle.

Introducing all those stylistic changes with just adding one player is some makeover so I don’t expect it.

Where is the Chelsea U-21 game going to be held? might attend to watch his return.

Whitley Park

Great to have him back but we should be realistic about expectations. Took VVD a full season almost to regain the form he showed in previous seasons and he's still not quite at that level.

 

Botman has youth on his side more so but give him time.

Agreed. Howe loves Burn, Botman & Schar but one will have to sit it out.

 

Honestly, I expect Botman to sit on the bench and get minutes from there (probably for Hall) for a while—well into February—before eventually replacing a CB. I assume it will be Burn, but Schar hasn't covered himself in glory recently.

They did first time round, but the advice was conflicting between surgery and rest.

Back tonight for the U21s.

Knowing our luck, he'll do his other ACL.

More likely trip on a bobble on the pitch and fracture his spine in 7 places

Dude, there’s no need for that negativity. He will build his way back to his best and we will look a different side

You do know this is NUFC right? 

[wormy]

I've had nightmares revolving around some suggestions of him returning against Bromley. Feels like the exact type of game he'll get done in by someone trying to make a name for themselves.

[et tu brute]

He's got to play sometime 

[Joelinton7]

“Sven Botman has been ruled out for the next 12 months after suffering a freak, unknown injury moments before stepping onto the field of play”. 

[Magpie]

He last played a game on 11th March, pretty much nine months to the day. He's ready to come back.

[STM]

You can watch the U21s on the app right? Might watch.

[Scoot]

 

[Sibierski]

Fingers crossed he gets through without a muscle injury, because that’s always the worry after an ACL injury.

[STM]

Can you actually watch this?
