Thanks for the update Morty. No good news there. Have to hope Hanley gets fit in the next 10 days. Bit gloomy like the weather!

Club confirms Trybull out for 6 weeks.

Yay.

 

[OldRobert]

Can't just be a week anymore can it, has to be bloody weeks or months, even a season for us. I'm sure it never used to be like that.................I blame the boots they wear!!

Max Aarons limps out of the game tonight, turned his ankle making a goal saving tackle, and ended up with the man of the match award for his troubles.

 

[OldRobert]

Not another one FFS.

Max said in an interview after that he hopes it shouldn't be too bad.

Fingers crossed.

 

[OldRobert]

Let's hope he's right.

Hmmmm, I saw Godfrey more as unlikely to start, will be happy if I'm wrong.

I don't think I have ever seen an injury list like this, especially so early in the season. Ridiculous.

 

[OldRobert]

So many key players. Has to be a reason surely, or are we being kicked off the park?

Zimmermann you could say we rushed back, but a tackle is a tackle, so was more that. Max turned his ankle in a goal line clearance, unavoidable. Onel fell down the stairs lol. Krul is a training injury, I think Godfrey is a calf strain?

I think we get a lot of muscle strains in pre season because we put so much onus on fitness, but you could also say that we do take risks on players that have had injuries in the past.

Over all I think I would just say we have been a wee bit unlucky.

Was genuinely in a foul mood all afternoon after seeing that injury list. Was so excited to see how this squad would fare in the Premier League after last season and it feels like genuine bad luck is just taking away that opportunity. Every player in that list aside from Hanley and Roberts were key to our promotion last season. Absolutely gutted.

The one that gets me the most is Zimmermann. I know I've said this a few times and I know there's not necessarily a correlation with his previous injury as it was a shocking challenge from Haller, but I really really wished we hadn't tried to have rush him back for that West Ham game instead of letting him have 2 weeks over the international break to fully recover.

Don't wanna be too negative but it feels like we've just got to try and keep our heads above water until January where we'll have everyone back fit and will be able to sign some players. To say that though after just 4 games of the season is so disheartening, particularly as it's not dictated by anything other than horrendous luck.

I hope most of all that all these injuries doesn't kill the amazing atmosphere that was created from last season around Carrow Road.

 

[Number 9]

I have read in several places and there seems to be a growing clamour for a specific change.
Hanley back in, Amadou pushed forward to DM alongside Mo, McLean to replace Steiperman.

McGovern/Fahrman
Hanley, Arrons, Godfrey and Lewis/Heise
Amadou and Leitner
Cantwell, Buendia, Steiperman/McLean
Pukki

 

[OldRobert]

Still don't agree with McLean for Steipermann.

Still don't agree with McLean for Steipermann.

What reasons would you give for that Robert?
McLean hasn't really been tried there since he joined us, but it's the position he played in prior to signing.

 

[OldRobert]

I know Steipermann hasn't performed as well as we would have liked, but he has a physical presence and height which imo we need in that position. Without it we look and are lightweight. Just my opinion of course.

Kenny McLean pulls out of the Scotland squad through injury.

Please just stop now with the injuries

 

[OldRobert]

Oh FFS.....................I hope this is planned.

Oh FFS.....................I hope this is planned.

He flew to Russia before finding an injury
