I'm not blaming the lad,it's not his fault,it's not intentional,he's not taking the p!ss..I'm merely pointing out that financially he hasn't exactly been value for money(a bit of a liability in those terms for me anyway). Hell of a player and I hope he makes it back but a 5 minute cameo against Blackburn and another breakdown doesn't exactly fill me with confidence... Anyway,just to be clear,I wish him well,he's extremely decent and we could certainly use him ASAP.
Pretty sure he ran to the corner to celebrate the winner with the rest of the lads. Surprised he's ended up out for so long.
It was actually 15 minutes against Blackburn, 25 minutes against Bristol, 25 minutes against Swansea and 45 minutes against Southampton. We were obviously trying to ease him back in, but he picked up a strain regardless, he's a great player and I suspect he'll more than prove his worth.
Good. Think he's going to make a massive difference (assuming no long term effect from his injury). IF we can get and keep Matazo, Millar, Belloumi, Ajayi and Ndala fully fit, we're going to be capable of pushing for top 6, assuming we don't then lose other key players. Surely our luck has to improve.
Reading the full article that came from, it sounds like they actually expect him back closer to Christmas as originally stated and the November thing was just a throwaway comment by Sergei about something Matazo had said to him.
Hull City will welcome back Matt Crooks into their squad for Saturday’s Yorkshire derby with Sheffield United at the MKM Stadium in what will be a timely boost for the Tigers. City will still be without wingers Joel Ndala and Mohamed Belloumi, with the pair not expected back until after the international break. Elsewhere, Ryan Giles has trained normally since limping off on Tuesday night with cramp, and Brandon Williams is pushing for a return to the squad.
