Ryan Hall has scored 4 goals in the development team against Derby today. Still 25 minutes left. Surely he has to start on Saturday now Colin.
I'll be miffed if he doesn't get at least 30 minutes on Saturday. However, if people had been listening at all, Colin said last week the reason Hall hasn't been playing is he wasn't quite up to match fitness.
He could have been the difference last night though. Hopefully we will see him Saturday and he'll put a performance in to prove he is starting 11 material.
He won't have been the difference if he's not up to full fitness yet. It's one thing to play 90 minutes in a reserve game, another to play 90 minutes in a Championship game. The latter is more intense and therefore more tiring.
For the last 20/30 minutes when we could have pushed on I'd have much rather have seen a player not up to full fitness than Danny Pugh or Luke Varney.
I will grant you that one. I'd imagine Hall is at fitness to last 30 minutes and would be more of a game changer than the sack of **** that is Danny Pugh. What manager seriously thinks bringing Danny Pugh on is going to change a game?
Cant see hall being involved much on saturday. Can trap a ball and got plenty of pace. Not warnock type of player
I've given Warnock the benefit of the doubt so far as I believe him when he says Hall wasn't ready to play. But if he doesn't start playing him in the next week or so, I'd have serious doubts about his ability to put a team together.
Sent Poleon out on loan, as there wasn't going to be room for him as we got Hall in on loan... Sent out a player who played a couple of times and looked at least alright. But its ok, we've brought Hall in.... Hold on, he's not fit enough to play, in fact he wasn't even on the flipping bench last night. If it was another team i'd be laughing my tits off at them, but as it stands its mind-bogglingly bizarre!!
RCDM, Hall's be brought in to deliver pace & crosses when he's fully fit. Tuesday's development squad sugests he may now be at least fit enough to get the final 20 mins against Watford on Saturday. Hope so, 'cos we certainly need him
Banter aside lads and on a serious note Did you really create **** all last night because that's the impression I'm getting? I've seen the comments about the hoofball and being mugged of £30 etc, etc but you surely must have created something right?
Hall was on the bench a couple of weeks ago against Birmingham, and after going 1-0 down he was introduced as an 83rd minute substitute. So Warnock must've thought then he was ready for the first team. There really is no logical reason why he hasn't made the bench in the last couple of games. If he was fit enough two weeks ago he's more than ready now.
We created 2 good chances yesterday actually. One diouf put over and the other white ****ed up! And pugh was brought on for injured drury. straight swap at LB. cant complain too much about that one. But agreed hall has to play! we need some pace and directness out wide. i dont believe the lad is so unfit he cant give us at least 20 mins
