Pyro Pete 2,353 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Hanley doubtful too after getting an eye infection from being poked in the eye by Hernandez in training! Leitner can't play the full 90 minutes yet, so probably will make the bench, according to Farke. McLean on the way back too from the sounds of it. Just short of match fitness. Maybe we'll see him by New Year. Edited December 14, 2018 by Pyro Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Il Pirata 249 Posted December 14, 2018 A big blow. His passing ability helps to set the tempo of our play, whilst his presence brings out the best in Zimmerman. Without Klose, Zimmerman does struggle. Doesn't sound like Hanley will make it either, so over to Godfrey again. A back four with an average age under 21, Tettey will be vital tomorrow! Hopefully we have enough to get through the next two unbeaten, and then with a bit of luck we'll have the likes of Leitner, Klose, Mclean and Hanley fully fit for the new year. You never know, Jarvis could make an appearance! I do have this feeling he will still have a defining moment in a Norwich shirt... I think there's a script somewhere written for him.

CANARYKING 707 Posted December 14, 2018 Do other teams get all these injuries, seems to be one back two out, have we ever had a clean bill of health Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodman 92 Posted December 14, 2018 Would rather we get Timm back when he's fully fit than risk him and lose him to a more serious injury like a torn muscle rather than a strain. He (and Hanley) will be really important for the Derby and Forest games - not to diminish tomorrow or the Blackburn games. All other teams are suffering injuries, we just worry about ours more. Leeds have loads at the moment too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest we've been fairly lucky that most of our injuries have been fairly short term this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 754 Posted December 21, 2018 Seems like we have one more game without him. Be interesting to see if Grant and Leitner get to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So we have to pick two of Zimmerman, Hanley or Godfrey. My very amateur thinking is that Hanley would help shore us up in the air better than if we had the other two together as I think we've looked a bit vulnerable in recent games. Obviously Hanley and Godfrey would be a new pairing, do we have much experience of him playing with Zimmerman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 8,034 Posted December 21, 2018 bad news I don't see a clean sheet without Tim. I hope to be proved wrong but it makes a win much more difficult. 1-1 draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Hard to know who will partner zimmermann - blackburns main threat is Bradley Dack who is mobile while danny graham is a bit more of a poacher than outright physical, which may favour Godfrey over Hanley. Hanleys experience is balanced with Godfreys better mobility and passing; for me it is closely balanced but I suspect we will see Grant starting against his former team. I will be OK with either choice, but do still feel we will improve again once Klose is back for the forest game. Edited December 21, 2018 by ZLF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,830 Posted December 21, 2018 I'd go with Godfrey, he's very capable, he needs the experience and will improve the more games he gets. I may be wrong but I think Hanley favours the right side anyway, whch is Zimermann's slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One hell of a bruised knee I must say. In my mind we still need cover in this position. Hanley needs to show significant improvement if we are you keep in the top 2.
