Yeah you could see his head wobble with the impact. Hope he's fine to play, but if he's not it's just another game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He was spotted in the rvi getting a ct scan so can rule that out I think 4 minutes ago, petenufc1985 said: NUFC.com seem to think he won't be available, can't we just pretend he came off for another reason? Hopefully we get round it somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I’m a concussion ultra but can’t see him playing on Saturday. It just simply comes too quickly and I’m glad there’s at least some attempt to be serious about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone earlier said, can't be the ref as he's not a doctor. Our doctor? Just don't declare anything and see how he is. Dunno who actually makes the final decision.

Miercoles Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Have to give him some credit for an absolutely heroic block there. How many times do we see players in the wall ducking out of the way of shots? Constant pet peeve, but I guess this is why. Looked like a nasty free kick too if he doesn't block it. Good lad, Zach.

BonesJones Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 To me it looked like someone taking a clean hook from Mike Tyson. He was turning his head as it hit him, which then twisted it even further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yeah that's what makes it such a good block he actually moves his head to get onto it, unfortunately that also put him side-on to the impact which makes it so much more damaging.

Lotus Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I think Isak floating and Wilson pinning the CBs will hugely help us mitigate the loss of Bruno. Changes our shape quite a bit but would offer something serious in attack. Its the he defending aspect that would need work. We have an excellent shape that we’ve been crafting all season. Have to deviate from that with Bruno’s absence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Who suggests "not telling them" though? The health of an individual is worth a lot more than getting him on the pitch, or any points for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I feel like he is ok. The concussion protocol is clear, if he was diagnosed with concussion he wouldn't be able to play, regardless of how he felt. Either Howe is deliberately being vague (which he does like to do with injuries) or he isn't concussed and Howe is just being cautious and waiting to see how he feels.

Conjo Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Howe is always deliberately vague, especially when a player isn't ready to play, Don't think Isak will be featuring tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yeah, I don’t think you can be ‘slightly’ concussed. If there are signs of concussion, he shouldn’t play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gate4 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 He didn't say he was slightly concussed, he said he had slight signs of concussion. You can be a bit dizzy or have a headache without having officially a "concussion". Now fair enough, having slight signs of concussion after smacking your head probably means concussion even if it's a slight one. I don't know exactly how it's diagnosed and evaluated.
