Harry just said in his press conference... Been trying hard to be fit but not ready.....Ankle injury from last week.. Bloody hell...
No surprise at all if you remember the sight of him limping off last Saturday. Time for a radical approach Harold, 3 at the back and 3 up front (Remy, Townsend, Hoillet)
He played through that injury for 15 mins of a game that we were never likely to win anyway. Now he's out of a 'winnable' game... Amateurish. The guy should have been treated with kid gloves. edit: Still, these comments on another site were quite amusing- "I wonder how much we could get for him if we boiled him down for glue. It would help reduce the wage bill at least. " "At this rate BZ's DNA is going to show up in Aldi's fresh batch of Budget Beefburgers. "
Need pace tomorrow...classic counter attacking....Remy up top...Hoilet Adel and Townsend just playing off him.....4231...lets go it.
Is he our only fitness concern tomorrow? I'm thinking Hoilett, Remy, Diakite, are they all back in top condition again or just there or thereabouts...
What're the chances of us being able to scavenge the various working parts of our many injured strikers and being able to field something that will be able to have a shot on goal?
Absolutely spot on mate. I'm not a huge BZ fan so I'm not too bothered that he's missing tbh. Also, if he had been fit, I suspect we would have played 4-4-2 which would have been bad news against their 4-2-3-1 imo. Now hopefully, Harry will play us as you describe Tramore.
Thank you Mark Hughes,you saved us a bomb when you signed Bobby Zamora,& Andy Johnson, our walking wounded. 4mill & 70k per week off our wage bill.
Good point Grift. I was rookie sh*t from experienced old Harry. I said it about 10 times early in that second half that he should be subbed because he was in bits but he wasn't taken off until he could barely move. Amateurish.
I would of gone for Taarabt and Remy in the first place because in the West Ham game it looked like a good partnership but its typical as soon as one player gets fit another gets injured
Ha.. It does feel a bit like that doesn't it? If we pull ourselves out of this one it'll be make the feeding of the 5000 look like a cheap Paul Daniels magic trick.
