Tiresias Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 hell of a lot of hindsight merchants in here, I don't really understand why people are so angry at anything, we have had a solid start to season, we aint gonna get relegated, owners are investing and manager is good. Spate of injuries isn't ideal but i don't expect us to be seriously pushing for europe this season anyway, this might be only season where it's just no pressure do as best as we can. Actual clear targets of european qualification will come in next year or year after and it will start being really nerveracking again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Didn’t the semi ITK who confirmed Bruno was absent say that it was a training injury? still injuries where meant to be one of the few downsides of Howe at Bournemouth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He plays a high intensity game. The players are so much fitter, but with that will come minor injuries. The problem will be remedied with a stronger squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It was bound to happen. Even at the back end of last season, I was fearing an injury to Bruno would fuck us badly. Silver lining is, Dan Ashworth was there to see it in the flesh and he has 3 days to get a fix to the problem. A backup to Bruno and also one to Isak and Wilson is beyond imperative now if we want to maintain a high level of quality in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We need a back up for Bruno - Longstaff is no where near good enough. Come on Dan get on a flight to London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 There's so many players that can potentially get injured. Why is it always the ones we least want to get injured that ends up getting injured? "A couple of games" means he's definitely out for Liverpool and Palace. Just hope he's back by West Ham.

OverThere Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) This is the best start we have had for how long? Over a decade I believe. I remember only ever winning once at Liverpool and that I think was a Bob Lee goal to win it... a long time ago. Wednesday is a free hit and hopefully the bed wetters won't pipe up too much if we lose. Edited August 28, 2022 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Injuries can be expected throughout any season and it does hurt when it is a player like Bruno, what makes it worse for us is that the depth of our squad currently is poor and the squad replacement for Bruno seems to be Longstaff and he is really not good enough. Sadly we will need to be an established top 6 team before we can attract good players who would be prepared to sit on the bench or fight for a place in the starting 11. As we sit currently the squad is about as good as we can expect. It is actually a shame about Shelvey, I would have been slightly more comfortable going into the Liverpool game with him deputising for Bruno. Hopefully this week we will see some loan incomings, especially in the midfield positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 As long as he’s alright for the weekend. Two weeks ago I thought we could get something at Anfield but the current state of the walking wounded means focusing on more winnable games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 We’ve got to accept we are going to get injuries to players, key players and not so key players and while we don’t exactly have the squad to quite deal with that, we do have a manager and character to minimise such setbacks.

Geordie Boyo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) You forget to remind yourself just how thin and shite the squad was just a few months back. Looks like possibly one or two still to come, fingers crossed. Players below here for the long run and we know all do a job. Not bad going, but as mentioned, injuries will happen. Never thought we’d be at a stage where we’re not too far off strengthening our squad let along our starting 11.
