Without Sargent we are nothing, so we need to play him whenever possible and despite the risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe he was out for months with an ankle injury, not had full training for weeks and is so crucial to the team that we are trying to nurse him through these vital games?

Nuff Said 5,153 Posted April 13 When Wagner didn’t play Sargent, or subbed him off, posters complained. Now he’s picking Sarge to start, posters complain. 🤷♂️ 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now he’s picking Sarge to start, posters complain. 🤷♂️ you are missing the point. Everybody wants him to play. Twice, he has been so injured (according to Wagner) that he needed to come off early in the game. The decision appeared tactical/game management/player protection in both cases and when it blew up in his face Wagner stated that Sargent couldnt continue in both cases yet both following Saturdays he started which seems a little fortuitous. Its the glass half full / half empty scenario. If you think Wagner is great then its a situation he couldnt control and hes lucky Sargent has been fit, if you think Wagner's game management is terrible you believe he has screwed up numerous games with poor subs and decisions and Tuesday was just another example. My own view - it blew up in his face on Tuesday and he used the Sarge inury to claim his hand was forced Edited April 13 by City Stand Ultra 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People are criticising Wagner for not playing Hooijdonk, Hooijdonk's an unknown and we're at the business end of the season. Even if Wagner was tempted to risk it, if he did try it and it goes wrong, he'll be crucified given he has been roundly criticised for less.

Capt. Pants 4,263 Posted April 13 Not watching today as out with the lads. Seems we are bare bones now. Would take a point but not hopeful. Feel we will have to gamble either on either Sargent or Rowe scoring or SVH showing something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,756 Posted April 13 (edited) Would it be a hot take to say I would have prefered for us to still have Hwang as i think he's a better striker than HoojiDonk? Edited April 13 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how much more 'wrong' it could've gone in that last 10 mins at Sheff Weds. With Barnes up on his own nothing was sticking up front. Are we saying Van Hooijdonk isnt even good enough to play 10 mins vs a side who were 2nd from bottom? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
