Bristol Canary 155 Posted November 17, 2023 Mumba was very clear he didn't want to be cover and wanted to go back to Plymouth if that was the case as per his signing quotes. I'd have loved for him to stay but it was clearly not going to happen like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good try though, keep going and you'll get something coherent and correct on this forum one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,924 Posted November 17, 2023 Sometimes in football things twist strangely. I always look back to the first promotion under Farke where Hanley getting injured, Aarons getting his chance and Pukki playing as a striker in front of Stiepermann were never really the plan. However I believe those things, though generally coming about through unfortunate circumstances, were huge in making Farkeball click so well. I'm definitely not saying that our most potent attacker getting injured is fantastic news, because it's not. But you never know what might be the catalyst for a shift in approach that changes everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't know how good he is/could be yet No one has written him off, he's just not good enough for the first team yet and it's shown. He wasnt deemed good enough last season in League 1 and has featured as many times, or more, this season for us already. And we're not even half way through yet. Wingers is one area, the only area, where we have plenty of options so the persistence with him has been odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 922 Posted November 17, 2023 Questions need to be asked about 'wos gorn on in trainun', as In the days of the 'magic sponge' there were very few of these type of injuries lasting a month or two. Now with sports science and better pitches we are seeing short term injuries as part and parcel of events at Carrow Road. Pushing the players in training, via double sessions, may sound great as it infers the squad is a bunch of slackers who need the 21st century equivilant of running up Mousehold Heath. But I am sure that when Saunders used that to get the players fit, they did not continue with it for the rest of the season. Whatever advantage may be claimed by 'double sessions', it is being more than lost by having so many players out injured, regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know which one I would have preferred to keep and which to ship out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
