Great, knowing our luck with injuries he'll be back about easter time after having a few minor setbacks every few weeks
He's not been immense for us yet, but it feels like it's coming. As for his work rate, it's not just that he runs around aimlessly. He creates Delap's goal versus Birmingham. He makes runs that should end up certain goals if he gets picked for the pass or if he pulls the trigger when he receives it. If he gets more time behind the striker I think he'll come good. I don't like to see central minded players wasted out wide when preferable.
Only a ****wit announces the team two days before the game, why give the other team advance knowledge who is injured, the Brom manager will be laughing like ****
Unlikely, considering the West Brom manager has also announced which players will be missing and which are doubts.
Normally is the Thursday press conferences when they go through this as well. Dont remember the same commotion when Morton was announced out last week
Yep this is the way. Although the impact Philogene has had and the likelihood they are working in how to limit opportunities for him, I think this is one Rosie should have said ‘he’s 50-50’ - leave a bit of doubt in there.
Fergie used to do it all the time, wasnt he one of the first managers to have a closed training camp to stop prying eyes, it’s madness to let other teams know who is in or out.
WBA’s defensive set up v Coventry looked really well drilled and without Philogene I find it difficult to see where the goals will come from.
Likely Rosenior thinks by announcing this, he is very publicly backing his team without Philo thus giving them confidence. Still, in my opinion, it is a mistake to let the oppo know this.
We did the same with Morton last week. We've done it with Tufan, Slater and Coyle to name a few. I get Philogene is bang in form but its just procedure. If we all rocked up saturday and Philogene didn't start but in the post match conference he said he'd picked up a knock on Thursday every fan would be questioning why hide it.
Most likely. Twine left and Adama in the 10 i'd expect. Though he'll probably do something else now I've said that.
Remember when Waggy was getting long in the tooth City always said he was hopeful or likely to be ok , he never did - they knew he’d pull the crowds in . Hopefully Tufan steps up My concern is Jed Wallace he’s got a great cross and pas in him
Not if Rosey said something like, I’m not telling anyone who might miss the next game, why give the oppo a heads up? No problem if it’s an injury that will keep a player out for a few games, but not a slight injury doubt.
He wants another start doesn't he, not surprising after his last outing. If he's on song I think he can give us a lot, he's got ball skills others haven't.
