hogesar 9,889 Posted January 3, 2023 Is he still injured? Or does the new manager want to take a look at him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,220 Posted January 3, 2023 Still had a bad shin injury, but he's one I think might (not "will", just "might") benefit from the fact he's not playing for a Farke team. We've lacked pace and struggled with presses. A speedster on the flank - and Placheta's pretty good with workrate too - might make an opposing full-back or midfielder think twice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,961 Posted January 3, 2023 He has been recalled due to injury. As underwhelming as we've been recently, Placheta, when fit, is surely not the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could be walking into a Wagner team who's reliant on wingbacks though. I think PP playing under the last few games with Russell could've been interesting, for sure though. Anyone know how long his injury is expected to prevail? Either way, it's good to have another pacey wide player back as an option. Would love to see Tzolis return too.

kick it off 1,962 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) He's dog****. That's coming from somebody who desperately wanted him to succeed as our first Polish player. Hopefully recalled just to sell him to an Ekstakalasa team as nobody else would be interested in buying him. The only time Placheta is the answer is when the qesution is "Which useless speed merchant who never actually outruns anybody is crossing another ball into Row Z or dribbling out of play again?"

It's crazy how someone with so much speed so rarely gets past bang average fullbacks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigbrenn 61 Posted January 3, 2023 Can't help thinking that Placheta and Hernandez would benefit from the pitch being the same length but only 10 yards wide! They could both just up and down in straight lines all match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 2,010 Posted January 3, 2023 Official site: Przemysław Płacheta has returned to the club following a loan spell at Birmingham City. The Poland international suffered a left tibial stress fracture earlier in the season and will now continue his rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff at the Lotus Training Centre. He made a total of five appearances for the Blues, scoring one goal in a 2-1 win over Huddersfield on his home debut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,775 Posted January 3, 2023 I still don’t think Placheta has been given much of a chance with us, some players are in and out of the side without finding their feet and get written off. Tzolis is in the same camp, though I think he wasn’t ready for the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yet somehow he made most of appearances for us in the Prem! Highlights how bad that summer window was a player that couldn’t get into our championship team is then being relied upon to do something in the prem.
