Peter Griffin Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 It is a pain in the arse that he is out but as Bilko said, we are stronger now and we can do things properly and we don't have to rush him back and add any unnecessary risk to his recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be only 2 games away from the next intl break after the Arsenal game so there is presumably some risk we may not see him till the Brighton game on Nov 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Smith did say he would be back after the international break…didn’t say which one though. Think we won’t see him again until December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) what a ***** surprise, has any injury recovery prediction from the club/Dean ever proved to be correct in the last two years?

Ollie had never missed a game as a professional in his career and he misses the start of our season which coincides with us dropping points against teams we expected to beat. Sanson finally came back from injury is a player in a position we need and he starts to look like real quality and then breaks down half way through the game with Chelsea. There was a lot of excitement surrounding Bailey and he came on as a sub against Everton and looked a 100m+ player and had the best 20 minute cameo I think any player has ever had in the PL and gets injured. It feels like a real kick in the teeth and that we are getting no luck but I suspect we are getting just about the normal amount of injuries and are not much different to other clubs. These things do tend to balance out over the course of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly agree, although the comedy lack of preseason, coaches leaving, billy big boll*cks f$cking off, covid issues, international issues and injuries probably means we have had worse luck than most clubs, but also hope this evens itself out as the season goes on.

I am still in the position where I think we are well in credit on the luck stakes. We have had a few very significant things happen that could have gone either way. Pens in the semi against Baggies, a playoff final is always a dodgy affair, staying up by a point on the last day and some kind person forgetting to plug in the Goal Line tech against the Blades. We made the most of our opportunities but our number came up for us a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Smith said in the presser today, he didn't have a preseason, so they've had to be extra careful with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Smith always bullshitting on injuries. It's extremely frustrating. Just say it how it is. If a player will be out for 2 months just be honest about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
