Let's hope he does not get used tomorrow and break down injured - using him 2 days running cannot be good for a player whose not played competively in months - but Bruce may do so to try and save his own skin . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) We can't afford to rush him back but of course Bruce needs him back pronto to paper over those cracks and deploy his 1 man team tactic.

villan-scott Posted September 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2017 He starts for the u23 game, with VVD starting for Southampton, so a good run out for Kodjia against a very good defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2017 Imagine being an under 23 and facing Codge, I think he'll get 2 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 plays tonight I can see Bruce desperately throwing him in tomorrow. Kodjia goals last season probably only reason he still has a job and we in this division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 One of many critiques after Bruce's time with Sunderland was that he rushed players back from injury too soon which resulted in them getting injured again. Really hope this wont be the case with Kodija 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted September 12, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 12, 2017 I maintain that Kodjia scores better goals than any of our other forwards but isn't the best goalscorer we have, though with Bruce as boss we will never play in a way to get the best out of in the box scorers. That said I feel sorry for Kodjia, not because of the injury but because of the hype and expectation level that is being built for his return. Not helped when the official site keep going on about it either. If he doesn't score for a couple upon return and we don't win then he could wel become just another scapegoat.

Czechlad Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 A half fit kodjia on the field and we had our best chance of the match. I have a feeling we are about to go on a great run of form with Kodjia back in the team. He was clearly lacking match fitness, but still managed to find the ball numerous times in the box. I want Snodgrass and Adomah on the wings crossing it to him with Hourihane waiting for deflections and rebounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought a decent save from the keeper with a close range header and had another effort over the bar - I'd expect him to start at Barnsley . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
