Ginola14 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 shite news we've been on such a good run, I kept thinking we just need to avoid injuries to key players so long as Gordon stays fit we're still okay here, fingers crossed always feel a lot more confident seeing a strong bench though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm pretty sure with his pace, he could have caught up with that Bromley player when through on goal at 0-1. Injury might explain why he didn't....or he couldn't be arsed like some have said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 30 minutes ago, Unbelievable said: Utgh, that’s a blow. Could be more opportunities coming up for Sanusi (or Miggy…) Jielinton/Willock dovetail. That left mid/left wing area is probably our strongest depth wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 hour ago, Holmesy said: Hopefully this is an opportunity for Osula to get more minutes. That raw pace at the back end of games when defenders are tiring could be a real threat Osula sub for Murphy with 15-20 mins to go definitely could be an option.

Yorkie Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Shit news. At least it keeps him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 To echo what others have said. Crap news and for a few reasons. It might mean Almiron stays, even if he has suitors. Barnes is also a great option late on when trying to get something and when the game has opened up. He hasn’t really been needed much in this 8 game winning run. But there will be times in the next month or so when we could do with his goal threat off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 he came off the bench last season to win us the game with 2 goals against Wham won us the game at Wolves loads of other important goal contributions he's lethal and not having this option off the bench or to rotate is a big blow, no doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 2 hours ago, Checko said: Now we've gotta go a month without him how do people think our depth at wing looks? Ok, we have Gordon, Joelinton and Willock who can all play there. Next.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 2 hours ago, Checko said: Now we've gotta go a month without him how do people think our depth at wing looks? I think it affects our bench options more than anything else. He has been very capable of coming on and snatching important goals. Don't think he's been as effective starting, but was still a good option for resting Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 2 minutes ago, Tross said: Feel like this window would've been perfect to cash in on Barnes. Why? We probably wouldn't replace him now. He's a valued member of the squad, he's just too expensive to sit on the bench. Sell him in the summer. If we qualify for CL/Europa and find new revenue streams, he's suddenly starting 20 games a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 He's hardly an injury prone player. Got a bad freak injury last year that kept him out for a long time and now a slight muscle pull that can happen to any player especially when they haven't been playing many games from the start. Been some weird takes in this thread. Harvey is one of our better players and probably closest to the first 11 out of all the other subs really especially in terms of being a first option from the bench.

80 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Shit news, but a month barely counts as an injury considering what we've been used to in our club historically. To try and see the positives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hopefully back for a tougher run of games after the next four and including the semi-final. He’ll nab a key goal at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says more about our squad depth IMO. Barnes is regularly the first one subbed when he’s started this season, which isn’t a ringing endorsement. He’s a good squad option, but I’m not going to lose any sleep if he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
