And Shola will definitely be in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 From www.nufc.co.uk GLENN Roeder says that Michael Owen has a "definite chance" of playing against Reading on Monday, while fellow striker Shola Ameobi will be in the squad. Ameobi came through another 70 minutes of Reserve team action on Monday, with Owen staying behind on Tyneside to work on his fitness. And the United boss says that he will watch the club's record signing in training over the next three days before making a decision on Reading. Roeder told nufc.co.uk: "Both Michael and Shola are getting closer to full fitness. "Shola's had two games for the Reserves and has had no reaction in training. "He's definitely in the squad and I'm sure he will play some part in the game. "I did not feel that Michael needed to play in midweek, even if he was available if I wanted him. "But I wanted him to do more fitness work on the training ground, and with his experience he did not need to play for the Reserves. "When he is full fit he will go straight back into first-team action, and there is a definite chance that will be Monday. "I will see how he trains over the next three days and if that goes well he will play on Monday." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Ease them in slowly, 10 minutes at the end each. Too important to our chances next season to run the risk of bringing them back too early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when does a players experience make it easier for them to get match fit. What you meant to say Glenn was "I didn't have the nuts to tell him I expected him to have a run in the reserves so we've just not bothered". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I thought when I read those quotes - may as well have just come out and said "Owen is too big for the reserves". Match fitness comes from playing matches more than running aroung the training ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I'd imagine they would both start from the bench, to be brought on in the second half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC06 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Good news Only hope that Carroll will start and play at least the 1st half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer never started s reserve game after injury he always went straight into 1st team action I must say I'm surprised it took eight hours for someone to mention this... The same applies! Actually, given that Owen is notoriously slow to gain match sharpness it is even more important for him to get games under his belt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like to start, or would you prefer to come on? I'd say Owen will play when he knows he is ready, he has just been out for practically 2 years he isn't going to take any risks and I for one wouldn't want him to. He is no doubt desperate to get playing again though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the "holding back" we saw with Dyer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
