Yellow and Green 352 Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Here's a quick run-down of the length of injuries that we currently have. Ironically, our centre backs are all fit! Krul - ? Byram - January Quintilla - One week? Mumba - February McLean - January at the earliest Rupp - Soon Cantwell - 3 weeks Dowell - January Hernandez - January Buendia - one game Hugill - Possibly long term Idah - February It looks pretty grim, considering that there are only three short term injuries there. We have 9 games - mostly Saturday/Wednesday - until we can recall the loan players in January, or begin thinking about transferring anyone in. On the bright side, we've just played the tougher teams in the division and we should be able to enjoy a higher percentage of possession vs Cov, Luton etc. Fingers crossed that we can get through the next few games unscathed!

Flying Dutchman 766 Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) 3-5-2 would certainly work better, but sticking with our now usual formation with a couple of square (but not entirely beyond imagination) pegs: Krul Mumba Byram McLean Quintilla Rupp Dowell Emi Cantwell Hernandez Idah / Hugill Not sure whether that's depressing or impressive.

shefcanary 2,955 Posted November 24, 2020 Farke confirmed Pukki's injured too! Hamstring tightness. Needs to be rested for a while! Farke will come out of retirement to lead the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's got this hip injury and according to Farke the other day they just can't find out what the problem is - he was even talking about the possibility of sending him back to Villareal.

Bill 1,788 Posted November 24, 2020 We might have to look at starting a few youngsters v Coventry If they are up to Josh Martin's standard then they'll do ok Whatever is causing these non contact injuries needs to be addressed immediately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevinB 11 Posted November 24, 2020 Great opportunities for our next batch of U23’s a day youngsters to make an impression! I was watching their highlights the over night - some great play, and a familiarity to the senior team system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beefy is a legend 224 Posted November 25, 2020 We've got 9 games to get through until the next transfer window. Once we get to the window we will have the option of bringing in McCallum, Famewo and to sign a couple of players to better cover the threadbare areas of the squad. Until then we just have to battle through. The positive for me is that our genuinely key players, whom I see as Krul, Aarons, Gibson, Emi and Pukki, have generally stayed fit albeit we will be missing Krul for a good half a dozen of these 9 games. We couldn't really ask for better fixtures in the next four, with 3 of the bottom 5 at home. It's just going to be about getting through these 9 games. If we can win 4 or 5 of them we will still be in and around the top two by January, when we will have several options to reinforce. Beating Swansea, Boro and Stoke, three of our toughest games, has put points in the bank and given us a little bit of breathing space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted November 25, 2020 We'vecgot about 20 players out on loan. I wonder which of those Farke would recall today if he could? I suspect Sinani would be top of the list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted November 25, 2020 Do foreign loans work the same as domestic ones in that we can only recall Sinani in Jan? I wonder if we could pay them to cancel it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's quite right too, as it isn't fair to recall a loan player without giving the loaning club the opportunity to replace him. I'm sure we'd be furious if Spurs recalled Skipp outside of the window and we couldn't replace him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 371 Posted November 25, 2020 Why then were we able to cut Amadou loan short, he left and went to play elsewhere, if not would have stayed to trouser norwich wages. Seems you can cut short if clubs agree possibly might need incentive. Fahrmann also went a similar way. Hope to see some of our loans come bak in Jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
