First Wizard 0 Posted July 27, 2010 Thats my message to the club, there are a few City fans, myself included, who believe the following website''s theory:www.carrowroad.netGrant isn''t training, playing friendlies etc, and he''s rated 50-50 for the Watford game, hmm? He must be ruddy wereks away from that fitness level that the gaffer demands.Let us know.........please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Flashheart 0 Posted July 27, 2010 [quote user="morty"]Wiz, the world isn''t going to stop turning just because Grant Holt is injured.[/quote]Exactly. City looked great vs Newcastle without Mr Holt in the side. I''m confident that Mr Lambert is drilling the players on how to perform without him in the side.

hogesar 9,501 Posted July 27, 2010 Plus Wiz, i''d rather keep Watford thinking that they might be playing Holt - the defenders will have to spend preparation thinking they''re going against a big bulky forward who''ll get in there faces. It might be Jackson instead of Holt, they don''t know. The element of surprise Wiz, you''re a freaking Wizard you should know all about that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted July 27, 2010 You have to love preseason. There''s no real news, so people create their own by cobbling together rumours and theories, or "reading between the lines". The latter is a particular favourite as it allows people to take an innocuous statement and imply all sorts of depth that only someone as switched on as them can see. It''s another version of the Emperor''s new clothes.I have no idea how bad Holt''s thigh is, but having had similar injuries, I know that they often hang around and then suddenly clear up, but of course, that might just be me reading between the lines of Lambert''s comments[:$]. However, as morty has said, the world will continue to turn whether he''s fit or not.I''m not going to get worked up about this news, but I''m getting genuinely concerned that Wiz is going to do himself an injury with all these doom laden threads. Chill for heaven''s sake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ad thanks for the invite but I''ve only just got time to be pinkunning, to commit to another board too, with the whole other set of characters, their story arks, threads, sub plots etc. would be like trying to watch Lost from season one and 24 from hour one, day one similutaneously, I''ll end up wondering when Hurley is going to give that arrogant Jack Bauer a piece of his mind...

Dr. Ink 0 Posted July 27, 2010 What is there to come clean on?The story is, he has injured his thigh, he is running but only 50/50 going to be fit for the Watford game.
