Ambitious Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Who is back on Saturday martin or bent or both?He didn't say anything about Bent - he just said Martin would be back, or they were hopeful he would be back, for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Villa could use him n all.Bent will be at a PL club next season, we have been lucky to have him due to villa's previous management, but hey, he's no Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macs been hopeful martin would be back for the last six weeks at least. And Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 As long as Martin and Thorne are back for the play-offs I would settle for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 When Thorne played v watford he was poor.he is rusty and is not match fit.there is no point in expecting the george to be the george thorne from last year.let him rest, recover, build up his fitness in his own good time and come back next season. Even then we should sub him and rest him to avoid fatigue and the risk of associated injury.kid gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was injured after about 15 mins tried to carry on but clearly not fit. He was awesome against the wendies even in his first game. We miss him badly and martin too. Whether either will be fully fit even for the play offs I don't know they just seem injury prone atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was quite mediocre but because its George some folk understandably get a bit giddy.he looked better against charlton, but its not really fair to play him until he is his old self again.

Actually I lied. I can see past the odd rusty pass, his positioning and calmness were still very much in evidence . Exactly what we have been missing. A less than fully fit George is better than anything we have but dare we risk him breaking down again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4derby Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 A playoff semi final is surely the one time you do risk a player, or in this case two players, especially if the game is close. If we get beat we've got a couple of months to rest up, the only reason to be cautious is if we win in semis and get to Wembley, as they're two players you want on the pitch then, so maybe you game manage them in semis.

PistoldPete2 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If they Thorne and martin are remotely fit but not match fit then maybe have them in the semi final squad. If there is one match you risk them for its a play off final... Remember 2007 when both Barnes and Johnson suffered recurrences of their injuries yet both helped us get to the prem.

I'm going to finish my carer if she serves up another Nasi Goreng Pattaya without tucking it into the requisite omelette like she did (or rather didn't) tonight.
