He posted on Instagram yesterday say he would be back soon - I assume that means back to training though, so who knows how long it will be until match fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 7 December 2018 Share Posted 7 December 2018 And Josh Eppiah? He seems to have been out for ages now, looks a real talent too but always injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every forward we have had on our books for a while are hugely injury prone. Eppiah, Muskwe, Uche, Ndukwu and Martis. Eppiah I reckon would have made it by now without the injuries, he's a quality player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard for years that Eppiah was the one of that whole batch that came through at that year group but I believe he suffered a serious back injury and was out for 18 months/2 years that hindered his development. He reminds me of a Schlupp/Heskey hybrid with the combined best bits of both. The club gave him a new contract not too long ago so that shows where he stands with them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excluding Barnes, Eppiah and Ndukwu are the two most talented players we have from those age groups. From what ive seen Ndukwu is the most naturally gifted....but Eppiah gets the nod for me due to his outstanding work-rate off the ball. A real team player with great individual ability who makes life very difficult for defenders at all times.

I think he might be back in training again soon but they will have to carefully manage his re-introduction and workload as his back problems have caused him to miss the best part of the last 2 seasons....and it has been a recurring problem for him. Would be surprised if we see him back on the pitch before January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 10 December 2018 Share Posted 10 December 2018 I missed the first 10 mins but I'm enjoying it. We are completely on top. And we score. Hughes again. I must say that the LB (3) is someone I have time for. Only seen him play 4 times but he has impressed me every time. I think he's more likely to overtake elder for the back up position. I also have a lot of time for the young no.10 and shade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4DD0gg Posted 10 December 2018 Share Posted 10 December 2018 Dont know much about the youth team but are there not any young strikers capable of moving into the first team, even if its just on the bench as an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc sheff Posted 10 December 2018 Share Posted 10 December 2018 If we can offload a few of the CMs I wouldn’t be surprised to see dewsbury-hall do well for the first team, seems to be the type of centre mid we’re crying out for in terms of his skill set, obviously yet to be seen at the highest level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Our youth strikers seem to score less than our youth CBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 10 December 2018 Share Posted 10 December 2018 Shade instead of Loft. Loft looks like he was bought as a stop gap tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they mix things up a bit. btw Who told Johnson he can dribble - he shouldn't have listened to them. Interesting to see that he's now back at RB (at least the last few appearances), perhaps he's finally realised that he's not in our top 10 CBs Edited 10 December 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
