He’s supposed to be a rough, tough centre back, you’d think he’d love to be playing in this fixture, biggest game of the season If you're injured, you're injured. There's no point playing sometime who's struggling to run, but that's still considered a minor knock in football. Also, it would be stupid to risk making the injury worse, especially given how few centre backs we have.

Considering how few centre backs we currently have, he should be chomping at the bit to play in this match in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust Chester and the physios to make the right call. If it means missing the local derby to make sure he's fit for the next run of games, so be it. This is small heath's cup final, not ours - we have a longer gameplan to think about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 If you're injured, you don't play. I'm sure he wants to, it's his job but if he can't, he can't. Daft logic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go as far as saying we have more important games in the next 4 or 5; Our rivals for where we want to get to. No point in him risking injury that could derail our season if he is touch and go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion was around whether the Welsh FA would have to compensate us for James Chester getting injured in an International game. My point was that if James Chester is "unlikely" for the blues game or "there's a chance" he'll play then we can assume he's only going to be out for a game or two. That's what I would consider a minor knock. It's a small injury. FAs don't have to compensate clubs for small knocks picked up on International duty otherwise they'd be paying money to every club at every international break. I don't know what you were on about in regards to him wanting to play vs Blues. I'm sure he absolutely does want to play. but if you're injured then you're injured.

romavillan Posted November 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yeah, even if it is minor, just compensating, using different muscle groups differently to offset for where the pain is he could end up doing some more serious damage and be out for a couple of months with a bad muscle injury. That would **** us right up as we'd have to wait to get someone in Jan to cover. Vital he rests and is 100% for a very important run of fixtures after the binners game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if he made it a whole lot worse 3 minutes into the game and missed the whole christmas period? Would you be happy that it was worth it to play him purely because he was chomping at the bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I hope we never see the day that the biggest game for our fans in a season becomes beating the blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
