There's a few people that have been saying this about willock since the day he signed. He's a top player but just has a bad year with injuries. He's as good as any cm at the club in his own way and possesses attributes none of the others do. A vital player
The problem is the run of games after Fulham until the end of November... Basically that's going to decide Newcastle's season.
My centre-back partner had a heart attack on the pitch. He went off was sick in a bucket and then came back on as we only had 11. Found out two days later when he went to the doctor he had actually had a heart attack. Never played again. It served him right - we were at an away game and he had been shagging a bar girl he had picked up since the previous night only sending her home two hours before kick-off. Tell that to the kids of today.
Now you're a born again Muslim and he runs a children's charity Funny times eh. Sort of just filling in the blanks of how I expected that story to end.
The 20-year-old midfielder who was recently called into the full England squad was carried off with a clean break to his left fibula (the outer bone) and is expected to be out for at least six weeks. Ipswich manager George Burley said: "Kieron scored a goal with a broken leg. It was fast and furious and it was certainly a heavy challenge. "I'm disappointed for the boy. It is a nasty injury and especially at this time of the season it is a big blow for us, he is our most influential player. "It is one of those things in football but he is a youngster and will get over it. Hopefully he will be back playing for us before the end of the season." Dyer's broken leg overshadowed Town's 3-2 win over Watford which pushed them up to second place in the Nationwide Division One. He was caught by a late, crude, tackle by Micah Hyde in the eighth minute and limped heavily for some time but appeared to have run it off by the time he scored Town's first goal on 17 minutes. My point being that just because you can doesn't mean that you should. I think we're past the dark ages of "oh they can play on" with things like concussion and injuries, they can do themselves long term harm and it's enough of a squad game nowadays that you need to swap them out and check them over.
I’m still not sure how the injury happened. I know it was off the ball but it wasn’t like it was smacked in his face was it?
Time to give Osula a try out then. He might as well have a go. But no doubt regulars will just be played out of position instead.
I would expect it'll merely give Howe the chance to slot Barnes in on the left and he will move Gordon down the middle. I recall pre season people posting a full strength 11 and using it as a reason to think Newcastle can finish top 4. I wonder if people now realise I was correct when saying we'll probably never see that 11 for one reason or another.
Media reports state Isak broke his toe kicking the wall after he saw Roy stated that Watkins is better.
Is it coming from Howe ? I have seen the source is Craig Hope and he is worse than Edwards for stirring. He's caused problems for the club for years.
