king canary 7,607 Posted December 24, 2021 More covid cases Surgery for Normann Rashica still out 2 games in 3 days. Starting to feel like we're going to be cut adrift before we get a chance to even think about reinforcements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted December 24, 2021 We are likely to be 4 points behind Burnley with them having two games in hand, one of which is against Watford. Looking bleak but the big losers are Newcastle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted December 24, 2021 Any idea on how long the surgery will put Normann out for, its a hip issue isn't it? Sounds like it will be months rather than weeks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omo out for another 10 days Hanley didn't need surgery but needs another 2 weeks Byram needs time, but I suspect those comments and Max being missing in the training video suggests he might feature Sargent and Tzolis only just coming back but will need to be in the squad due to low numbers. Only 16 expected to train but that's too many for the PL to call the game off. Basically the mood was very much the schedule is a joke and they need to think about the players and squads. How are we supposed to play 2 games in 3 days with 16 players? Half of those aren't even fully fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodlyOtsemobor 2,310 Posted December 24, 2021 Can we not cut Normann's loan short? What's the point in keeping him if he's going to be out most of the season, let him go back and free up a spot for someone else, as good as he's been so far he's no help now.

Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted December 24, 2021 Without Normann, Rashica, Skipp and Buendia we truly have a Championship squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjb 11 Posted December 24, 2021 This has the feeling of the Man City game. Everyone's out no chance. We'll win time to throw some lads in let them take their chances. Nothing to loose. But both games should be called off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can probably remove Rashica as well, can't imagine he'd want to hang around for Championship football. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nora's Ghost 157 Posted December 24, 2021 There are still enough below average teams hovering around the bottom of the league to mean survival remains possible. Ditch the pretty stuff and go hoof ball for a while and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think they’ll be any shock results this festive period unfortunately. We have been well and truly ravaged this time. Arsenal are in fine form and of course the game is likely to go ahead. When it really really shouldn’t. Classic. I hate this league. I really do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
