He signed for us and trains at Seagrave.

 

He was the second Defender to sign for us and within just over a month of the first defender getting a serious injury, he has picked up a serious injury.  It's that bad we are now signing known    injured players to counter them then getting injured at Seagrave.  Better to already be injured than think they will play for us.

 

Two defenders signed, both out injured.

 

Also, how do you know he didn't pick up an issue from training at Seagrave which then developed into an injury during the game?

 

My point stands.

It doesn't. It's a terrible point.

 

And to answer your question, I know this because Maresca's exact words 15 mins after the final whistle were "he got a contact early on and could not continue".

 

Say a Blackburn player kicks Winks tomorrow and snaps his leg are you gonna say Winks leg was already weak from training at Seagrave?

You really don't have a point !! 

Just a whole pile of conjecture !!

Not allowed to mention Seagrave, its fancy and in the countryside so people give it a pass.

[filbertway]

Wondered why this was top. Apparently we've got a set of people thinking that someone getting injured during a game is related to a training ground curse

Or just it's entirely irrelevant to a contact injury within a match 🤷

I know we've been told it's 10 to 12 weeks injury, but is anyone aware of what the actual injury is or if it required surgery. Sorry if this has been published earlier.

Yeah. It turns out he's suffering from an acute case of Seagravitis. I think it's usually about a 3 year recovery period.

Yes, I did that, but that was over 2 weeks ago - it seems the club keep injuries issues very much private this year. I suppose we have no right to be informed, but it all seems a bit secretive this year - Coady, Cannon, Praet, Doyle all have had long term issues that haven't been totally disclosed. Even McAteer, which we could all guess as a hamstring injury, hasn't been elaborated upon.

“Callum Doyle is very close”.

Hopefully he will be available for us in January 2024 but still feel we will sign a LCB.

it'll be harsh on JJ but we have missed the balance Doyle brings on the left, we could always play both and drop Faes and have Ricardo start from the left leaving us with a back 3 of JJ Vesty Doyle but I don't see that happening

That back three wouldn't be physical enough imo, JJ is terrible in the air and Doyle isn't the most imposing. Faes has been near peerless anyway

Oh I agree, I don't expect it to happen but just saying it was an option

At least it make it easier for JJ to get 101 back passes a game in without having to turnaround…

i’m trying to work out if there were more complaints about JJ or Doyle 🤔

 

They both have strengths that the other doesn’t possess. I do think the team has felt more solid at the back with justin than it did with doyle… but we also feel less creative. 

 

There were some glaring holes when doyle was in the side.

It’s also more training under Enzo learning the system making us more secure in part

Doyle is a good player for us so we need him back asap. Lotta games coming up including the crunch game against Ipswich.

losing our African contingent makes me worry.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Coming back at a great time.

Ahead of schedule? I thought that we shouldn't expect to see him before February. Good news if he's close to a return. 

[ALC Fox]

Thought he looked a little suspect defensively at times early on in the season but he gives us a fantastic option creatively. In that sense he could also allow us to give Vestergaard a rest and therefore Coady a go in the middle of the three.

 

Squad depth is going to be crucial coming up so the sooner the sidelined players are back the better.

[LVFox]

A few on here playing Doyle as a huge upgrade on Justin. JJ has been really good in recent weeks and is adapting brilliantly to his role.

 

However, Doyle will definitely come in handy during the 2nd half of the season. Luckily I don't see a need to rush him back in.
