Injury watch 2020/21

[WestYorksRoyal]

Morrison apparently out for the season . Richards went off today too. No more room for injuries at the back.

Looks like the defence picks itself at the moment. down to the bare bones.

[windermereROYAL]

Pauno said Morrison would be back for the play-offs, love the positive vibes.

[Snowflake Royal]

Looks like Dorsett and Bristow may be seeing some time on the bench if Richards is out. That's us down to just Esteves for the bench of the senior defenders isn't it?

Yiadom, Holmes, Moore, Gibson

Tennai Watson

He doesn't really count. He's clearly not involved in the first team squad.

It looks like the early promise has just gone down the tube.Isn’t a quite lucrative contract up this season ? He then faces a long road back to full time pro football.This seems to happen so often with young footballers.Feel sorry for him really;but TBF I was the same in my early twenties.To survive in modern football;you can have all the talent in the world;but if you do not apply yourself,it won’t mean anything.

OF course he counts. He’s employed by the club, is a registered player, is 24 so not a youth player, has been playing fairly regularly for the u23’s, has 30 first team games under his belt, has played for the first team this season.
He plays in a position we’ve had a lot of options in this season and it’s clear Pauno doesn’t see him as an obvious starter at the moment.
However the question was whether we had any other senior defenders available, and we do.
You could have just admitted you had forgotten about him.....

[Snowflake Royal]

Here we go again.

[Nameless]

Here we go again.

Because you reacted in a pointless way to me pointing out the player you had overlooked ?
And that becomes you throwing a wobbly....

[Snowflake Royal]

I didn't overlook him. That's your assumption.

Not interested when you've got the arse on.

[Snowball]

If Watson was selected at FB, he could be a revelation as he would
have something to prove and would he playing to put himself in the
shop window.

No idea why or when he lost it after showing promise,
maybe off-pitch stuff, but he would have massive incentive,
sort of the opposite of Omar Richards...

Not only did you forget one of our players you also have absolutely no ability to judge people !

You seem to ‘not be interested’ mainly when you aren’t grown up enough to just have a normal conversation......

I think it was a bad injury at the wrong time as much as anything that shot his career. Although a complacent attitude may have been a reason for not recovering from it well.

Could be an example where loan deals don’t work? Neitherof his deals went that well and sometimes going away from you club and ending up at a place where you know no one, maybe aren’t getting results etc can really knock a player back. Could be chicken and egg and a loan shows a player hasn’t got what it takes but who knows, I have no idea what sort of character he is ....
