king canary 7,606 Posted February 21, 2020 Back to two fit central defenders and no real cover on the bench Who would have thought letting one of our central defensive options go without signing a replacement could come back to bite us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 492 Posted February 21, 2020 Darn. That is a pain. We won't get to see another moment like this against Wolves... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately Zimbo is only a 95% doubt, which where that does almost certainly rule him out for Sunday, it also suggests that it’s nothing long term, and may even be able to play later in the week. Timm back in training, he doesn’t look far away now 👍🏼 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 21, 2020 Just now, curious yellow said: Two including Famewo Famewo’s on loan in Scotland though (I think?), CY. If Zimbo still has a chance of playing on Sunday, even if it was just a 1% chance, then that obviously means it’s not serious or long term (unless he aggravates it in the meantime somehow, though I’m sure the club know what to do).

Well b back 3,207 Posted February 21, 2020 This could be a positive, it gives us the chance to see Hanley and Godfrey together. Sure as a professional footballer you don’t wish these things to happen, but Godfrey must think didn’t think I would get back in, in a hurry. If these 2 perform ( and stay injury free ) Zimmermann could now face the same situation as Klose last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted February 21, 2020 I've been hoping that Godfrey and Hanley would get the chance to pair together. I think Hanley has truly earned a starting spot over Zimmerman, but obviously would have been nice if it wasn't due to Zimmerman being injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted February 21, 2020 Surely if anyone was going to be dropped for Ben then Zimbo was the one so although we don't have cover, I don't see it as weakening the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was nothing but a makeshift centre back and I doubt that he was ever intended to be used there when we signed him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted February 22, 2020 We need two players for each position and a couple of utility players. That's what we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course but I'm just saying the club is privy to Klose' condition where as we aren't. Hence that being part of the decision to let Amadou go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godfrey could be cover at full back - he's played both left and right back for us before - but of course we would have to have enough central defenders fit first.
