Don't think it was a pull though was it? Smith said he got a knock. He'll get his chance, Smith said he's trained really well, so if he continues like that he'll get another chance.

AvfcRigo82 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I wonder how long he will be out for. Not good for him and how long do we carry on for before actually maybe it won't be working out here for him after this season. I would start listening to offers for him imo.

pas5898 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Shame for the lad, its been reported he's working his tits off in training as well. If the club is in an era of sensible spending, his long standing fitness issues coupled with his high wages make him unsustainable for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed a few neat touches. If the reports that he's been busting a gut in training are true, then I hope it's not a serious injury as he could blossom in this new style of play. Actually I thought exactly the same, it looked like he got a knock and got injured when he was taking on a Birmingham defender in our right side close to the corner flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Probably would have especially liked to have played tomorrow too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 27, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2018 Like Landsbury as a player. Can pick a pass but won’t be bullied like some flair players. It’s a terrible shame therefore after working his guts off to get back into the team he then picks up a injury. Definitely a DS type of player so will get another chance to impress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I thought he looked quite sharp when he came on. Hamstrings can happen to fellas who have had no real injury problems. It's just unfortunate for lansbury when it's coupled with all the others he has had. We did the right thing to haul him off straight away. Might not be long out at all.

ciggiesnbeer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I like the optimism. But the look on his face and the huddle of 4 staff worrying about him as they discussed his substitution I think its more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing a few weeks as he trugged off, but considering Jedi is out, Mcginn is struggling and Thor has had surgery he knew this was his chance. Looked to be crying to me, he knows it's not going to happen for him here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for the guy - I was looking forward to seeing a lot more of him. I'm sure opportunity will knock again under Smith though sooner rather than later ?

gwi1890 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hop he is fit enough for a start in sat , shame he got injured a few more mins under his belt and he could have come in straight for grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 If Grealish is out on Sunday and Smith doesn't want to gamble on O'Hare then Lansbury could be the key to beating Leeds. I said last season that a midfield of Hourihane and Lansbury could work, now having McGinn in there with his energy could really help this work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caused them a lot of difficulty when he came on at elland road last season. Lansbury has a good concept of space, uses the ball well and takes up good positions. Just needs a bloody run without injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Is he fit? Would definitely put him in the number 8 role on Sunday and drop Hourihane back to holding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted December 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2018 This layoff for grealish could be just what lansbury needs, guarantee game time in his favoured position. You can only hope in times like this that some good comes of it, similar to what happened to Hutton last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
