I've only saw pics of him eating a banana and drinking what looked like an orange powerade 😂 That was it pretty much but McCoist on the TNT feed mentioned him having a munch and the co-commentator said something along the lines of “I hope he doesn’t have a stitch when he comes in”.

I don't think he starts. If it gets injured it would be catastrophic. What?! He said that in regard to him not starting on Thursday. Fully expect him to start against Bournemouth.

He said this yesterday "We're going to have to look after Nick. It's hard enough for him to come into a new league - and you could see the physical effects he felt with Wolves and then the quick turnaround again" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted September 20, 2025 Share Posted September 20, 2025 Seems like Eddie is trying to protect players and use the squad. Something that we all whinged like fuck he couldn’t do last time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 20, 2025 Share Posted September 20, 2025 He will be starting Sunday. Then off Wednesday and back again the following weekend. Eddie is doing the right thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he starts - as we have no one else, and can rest up and skip the league cup game, but if medical staff are concerned then got to do what is best.

Geordie Magpie Posted September 20, 2025 Share Posted September 20, 2025 Probably plays once a week to ease his work load being new to the league, don't want him to burn out especially with Wissa out until after the next international break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure in this case you're reading far too much into his words tbh mate. If I'm wrong then fair enough but I think it just was general comment relating to him getting cramp and facing Barcelona a few days later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 21, 2025 Share Posted September 21, 2025 Not sure how he's meant to score playing in a side that have no interest in attacking for most of the game. Showed some lovely touches, he'll be good if we get the right players around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
