Both started for our U21's this afternoon in a 1-0 win against Bolton. Hope neither injury is too bad otherwise we're stuck with Bardo on the pay roll. Catts injuries are becoming a joke!!
Yeah Bardo got injured and went off before half time Ball said Catts isn't injured though so that's okay Have a bad feeling we'll be stuck with Bardo and will be paying him to do nowt Wouldn't mind Catts staying as I like him
The club need to move on both players. Catts has had 4 seasons at the club and has yet to put a consistent, injury and suspension free, run together (ie over half a season long)
"@JHunterChron: U21 coach Kevin Ball said Bardsley came off with foot injury. No knock for Cattermole - just slowly building up fitness after returning ..."
I knew the reports that he was fully fit on the lads returning from hong kong was utter bollocks. Catts would have been sold 20 time over on this board despite the fact he wouldn't pass a medical.
That's a real bastard. Bardo staying is a difficult one as him and Paolo may have a completely unfixable relationship. Be that the case with Catts not being fit enough to sell I hope he can have an injury/suspension free season (No, I'm not stoned) and prove his worth to the team.
I want Catts to stay 100%. The DM is the backbone of the team and I want two in that position so not to repeat last season. Cabral will be getting the nod so it gives Catts the time to get over the injury 100% and put pressure on Cabral. Catts deserves a fair crack off the whip under Paolo. Love him or hate him he deserves the same chance as everybody else. If he blows it, it serves him right, but he hasn't blown anything yet.
He's had no time to work with Paolo. My point is the clean slate in the new managers eyes. Like everyone else got. We don't know if catts was thrown back into it too early. And I think it's an insult to Paolos abilities as a coach if you think he can't sort out Catt's disciplinary. He's under a new manager. I deserves the chance to prove himself imo.
