Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted November 9, 2020 I wonder how much of this is the club being super-cautious given the risk to players on international duty where we don't really have suitable cover. Max took that blow to the head and played on for an hour yesterday, likewise I don't remember Hanley showing much evidence of a hamstring strain either. But I am very glad neither of them are going away for 2 weeks and can stay safe with the Colney medical team. 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then you post the same thing! The point is, is that they’ve not been ruled out of the Middlesbrough game in a couple of weeks, only the international matches and that is why your thread was already being discussed prior to you starting it, as you know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted November 9, 2020 And by the way, the thread title is way too melodramatic. They have pulled out of the internationals and that’s it. You’ve made it sound like they’ve been ruled out for City for however long, and they haven’t at all. A slight hamstring strain can see a player miss a game a game and be back for the next one. I believe this happened with Spur’s player Son recently. Essentially, the thread title is just click bait, which annoys most people to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,199 Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) More to the point, if Hanley has another "niggle" then his injury woes seem to be becoming continuous. I seem to remember Aarons getting a hefty knock in the game against the Swans. It needed some time attending to. Probably a lot of caution involved and to the point of being tactical.

TheGunnShow 5,985 Posted November 9, 2020 I'd agree with the tactical idea as well, especially as games are coming particularly thick and fast in the league, so this is actually a bit of time for some quality work on the tactics ground and also to let a few knocks heal a bit.

Yep, Farke has spoken out about these particular internationals as being basically an unnecessary risk, and I would think most of us agree. Not beyond the realms of possibility that the players themselves were more than happy to go along with it on this occasion for various reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I’ve noticed there is a flaw in my thoughts there, at least regarding Hanley. Scotland’s game against Serbia is a play off decider to reach the Euro’s, so that may suggest that Grant does need to be kept back in order to get over his hamstring strain.

He was out last season with a similar injury, so I would say it is precautionary. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness, I think both player’s cases are genuine, T. Probably for the reason you’ve given. Although it’s a possibility, I think now armed with the knowledge of what an important game Grant had got coming up, that it’s less likely to be tactical move from our end.

pete 320 Posted November 10, 2020 Hanley would only pull out of the opportunity to take Scotland to the Euro finals on the managers say is fanciful, Grant feels he can't face another 2 games in days after playing 7 games in 21 days. Grant is looking after himself following some recent injuries. For the rest of November he faces a relatively serene programme of 3 games in a week. Max faces a spell on the sidelines due to the concussion protocol of no action in the next 7 days. And has pulled out of pointless fixtures after qualification by the England team.
