BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Tbf signing players who have had injury problems in the past has finally started to really hit us. Dijksteel, Bola, Fry and Hall can’t be relied upon through a season, not to mention Bamba and Peltiers age. Makes it even funnier the fact we loaned out Coulson and Spence as well 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Signs that players are downing tools maybe? Our back 3 or 5 will be extremely interesting tomorrow..... I'm guessing it'll have to be Howson - McNair - Bamba in a back 3, with Jones LWB and Tav right? 2 minutes ago, Neverbefore said: This Been confirmed or something you've heard?

MMC 987 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 minutes ago, Neverbefore said: This Been confirmed or something you've heard? If it's true, there's clearly something very wrong with Warnocks methods of training and fitness, particular around Bola. We've rushed him back from injury twice this season to start games and were only 11 games in. Everyone on here was saying we hope we haven't rushed him back both times, how can we see the issue but he can't? Some gall from Warnock framing it as an excuse for poor performances rather than it being indicative of poor management. Only Sporar, Payero and Siliki didn't get a pre season with us but you'd expect them to be up to speed by mid October. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So there's our weekly "late thursday/friday training injury" that we seem to be getting an awful lot of lately! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm actually fuming over this. Sort your *** training out if you're getting players injured in almost every session. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 “It seems to be all defenders at the moment” manager Neil Warnock said. “Grant Hall and Dael Fry will be our for three or four weeks. “Anfernee Dijksteel is out, Marc Bola went down yesterday, I can’t see either of them coming back before Cardiff.” warnock quotes courtesy of Northern Echo. Doesn’t sound promising Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Surely you've got to give Kokolo a chance tomorrow now. Not sure if he's ready, I've never watched him, but there's no point in even having him on the bench if you won't risk him against the bottom side in the league. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing that both players had had enough of not being considered full-backs, Coulson did seem pretty desperate to go out and play from both his own and Warnock's comments, Spence has certainly shown how he feels since joining Forest too. Warnock will say he was backed into a corner to allow them to leave and I'm sure Johns will back him on that like he does everything else. But this is born from his own attitude towards both players. He never wanted either and now he's been left in a situation where he needs them and doesn't have them. We should make no mistake here, this is Warnock's doing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I assume he'll go Mamba + Mcnair at CB. After that, who knows. Hope Kokolo can do himself justice if he gets an opportunity. Outside chance of Cain Sykes in at RB if things are really desperate. Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect either Kokolo comes in with Howson at right-back or Howson to centre-back with Jones/Kokolo at wing-back and Tav on the other side. I thought Cain Sykes was a CM? Didn't Warnock like Dan Dodds for RB, what's happened to him? Maybe even a place on the bench for Gitau? Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I am sure he thought he had enough cover on the right with Djik, Peltier and Howson. It’s baffling decision on the left especially in light of Bola’s fitness record and not bringing anybody in. I can only assume that this is a higher up decision no manager would leave themselves with 1 left back. Hopefully this is a chance for one of the young lads to shine.

We could turn up and not bother for 90 minutes and still stand a good chance of winning this game. No intended disrespect to Peterborough but I can't imagine their fans right now are going into games like this with anything but hope that they can beat the odds. It's worth pointing out just how big the gap in quality is between these two sides because if we do win, that's just matching expectations, it's nothing worth shouting about. We move onto the next game with very little having changed. Anything but a win is pretty catastrophic. Teams looking to get promoted don't drop the points that we do and these next 2 games should really be 6 in the bag with a bit of momentum heading to Cardiff. We thought the same about Hull 😬 And now sounds like we'll need to pick some fans to play in defence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
