pete 318 Posted August 25, 2013 Didn''t play but SB said at Prem League launch he expected to play against Hull if he came through next U21 game. He completed 90 mins but was missing from today''s line up. Should we be concerned? Elliott Bennet injury posted on Football Rumours two days before club announced EB had surgery. Wish club communicated bad news more effectively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hannibal II 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Bassong travelled with the squad so i assumed he was fit enough to take part. We always look a better side when he plays. That being said i could say the same thing about Snodgrass why have him on the bench and Howson on the right made no sense to me. Also Pilkington travelled with the squad so assumed he was fit but didn''t feature either.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted August 25, 2013 I assume Snoddy wasn''t 100% or he''d have started with Bennett being out. Bassong and Pilks have missed most. if not all of pre season so they might not be up to speed fitness wise yet even if their injuries have healed. Reckon we might see all 3 against Bury.

Hannibal II 0 Posted August 25, 2013 By my logic would it not of been better to start with Snodgrass try to win the game in the first 60 mins then take him off rather than start with Howson RM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted August 25, 2013 You would have thoght so Hannibal wouldn''t you? It seems that thought didn''t get past the voices in his head '''' a point''s a good result Chris, a points a good result, these are a good team chris, keep it tight, a point''s a good result'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted August 25, 2013 There''s no point in taking a risk with a player who''s carrying an injury unless you absolutely have to. I''d have been more inclined to start Redmond right and Olsson left personally, but I get why Snoddy didn''t start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,585 Posted August 25, 2013 The defence wasn''t really the problem yesterday was it?! No point risking Seb if he wasn''t 100% fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hannibal II 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Mr B very good point about Olson i would of been more than happy with that rather than Howson on the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
