Kanj Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 As mad as this sounds he's likely competing with Maxi/Murphy as the left sided forward at the moment and of course he's #2 to Wilson as CF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Reckon in games against better opponents we might start him at CF with Wilson on the bench. Liverpool game was an absolutely perfect illustration of what he can offer in that role against sides that aren't going to sit back. Against weaker sides where we're expecting to dominate I think you're more likely to see him off Wilson in one of the wide spots. Not to say he'll be an automatic starter once fit, with the way Wilson and Miggy are playing he'll have to earn it. I suspect he might do though, somehow. Man, the thought of having everyone fit and competing for spots is great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Had a scan and the injury has fully healed and now will step up his training. Howe hoping to have him for the friendlies in December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 This lad must be looking at our games this season and feeling pretty good about his choice to join us. I imagine he’s absolutely desperate to get involved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Where is this lad? Has he been at any of the games since he was injured? Wouldve thought it'd be good for him to be in and around a winning team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 He's been in at least one team victory photo post injury, so he's definitely around. He's probably gutted missing out on all this to be fair to him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’s a young dude so I hope he isn’t just sitting there like what the fuck did I do? I’d love to see some story about Tripps or Lacelles taking him out or something.

STM Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 To be fair Krafth was allowed to go back to Sweden for home comfort while injured. Wilson and Maxi have done similar. If Isak isn't around, it's not a major issue. He's a young lad. Once he's fit and back with his team mates, everything will come together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Feels a bit weird I think because Tripps was constantly around the squad and in photos even on crutches last year. Bit different though for a younger player who'd just moved to a new country, makes sense he'd be recovering wherever he feels more comfortable.

Trippier just seems like he is cut from a different cloth, probably that leadership role as well give the situation we found ourselves in. It seems like once Bruce left we had a team that want to be coached, but motivation levels were all over the place. We've only seen Isak briefly, the transfer sort of came out of the blue and hopefully in the second half of the season we can bed him into the team. Oddly despite such a great first half of the season I don't think he will have been involved in a game we've won yet so surely the best is yet to come for him!

Sima Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Trippier was in the photos and travelled with the squad owing to his immediate seniority in the squad imo. Isak isn't a senior member of the squad. Yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Even Trippier wasn't in all our team photos... He stopped being in them once our form improved to the point that relegation didn't look like a big threat. I think it's early to be getting antsy about Isak fitting in. We just don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but we do know that everything else going on at the club is exemplary, so why should we have any doubts about how this is being handled? Howe was talking about him a little while back, saying how this time out through injury is a good opportunity for him to learn about English football and the local area, so I'd guess that's what's happening.

Nine Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I don’t think he’ll start until Wilson needs rest or is injured, cup games he probably will. I would have said there’s a chance he starts on the right but he won’t with Miggy in this kind of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
