I thought I would never play again, admits Leicester City's Matty Jameshttp://m.leicestermercury.co.uk/leicester/story-30351317-detail/story.html

Welcome back.

 

Shame that the stupid registration rules wouldn't allow us to play him in meaningless games at the end of the season. That would have been nice for everyone to see him in a LCFC shirt again.

Even if he was back I doubt Shakespeare would have played him. Seemed insistent on playing all the regulars unless his hand was forced.

He played his best team in all the games in order to finish as high as possible. That best team would have included Matty in at least one of our last 3 games when both Drinky+King were out.

God, I'd almost forgotten how beautiful he was.  Welcome back Matty, hold me. X

really great to see him back playing after such a terrible injury, hopefully his progression will be swift without any setbacks and see how he does after playing regularly with whoever that will be!

I don't think he was as he was quoted  that he was disappointed that he couldn't pick Barnes.

 

"It has benefited him. It would have been a great if once their season is finished, we could have included him in our final games, but we couldn't.

Look at that face ...   the guy is chomping at the bit and ready to roll !!

 

Welcome back Matty !

Think Shakespeare's permanent appointment would be the best thing for James. He was highly thought of by the backroom staff under Pearson and had captained the side on occasion (think mainly pre-season friendlies but still speaks volumes). Shakespeare would probably afford him the most time to get fit again, rather than a new man at the helm. Hope he makes a full recovery back to where he was as he had a decent first season in the PL.

Although I have a tendency to over rate some of our own, In the championship i always felt he was our  most accomplished player. He was the 'yang' to drinkwaters 'ying'.

I genuinely believe he will be a first teamer again, and also think he has the qualities to be a future captain.

 

Plus the mrs says she'd 'peel him like a banana'

Who wouldn't want to see that???

Hope he watches the BBQs this summer break - he's just got fit again.

As somebody going through ACL rehab, I can sympathise with him to an extent but his road to recovery and mine (and probably most people's) are chalk and Cheese. Granted, this is his livelihood but he is set up for life. He sounds incredibly lucky to have the circumstances around and the speed/quality of care he has had.

 

Still, good to see him tough it out and was chuffed to hear he'd done so well at Barnsley. Be good to see him pushing for a starting spot.

Apparently he can't wait to get back into training ...    And in the meantime he's doing a bit if training ...
