mwram1973 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Are we assuming PC will be playing the same formation?. I'm not so sure, surely we wouldn't sign someone as good as Bent to play second fiddle to Martin would we?. I'd have thought he would be thinking 2 up top. If he played Martin behind bent could we accommodate a CDM?. Come on all you football manager tacticians could it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Turned professional in January 2010 at 17 and played 48 games.....and some want to make him captain Depends what we need from our captain. If it's a leader on the pitch then he has showed us so far that he can potentially fulfil that role. Perhaps Mr Clement will have his own ideas on whether lack of experience should prevent someone going to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could play like a 4-4-1-1 , standard defence with a cdm and a cm and 2 wingers with a CF and a ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If he ever becomes fully fit we have a brilliant player. That's the problem thoe. When he returned from injury I loved watching him play everything he did. Even when losing the ball he would win it back. If he returns this pre-season and gets a pre-season then I'd be loving it can't see it happening thoe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t'oldu Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 PC reportedly plays a system that suits the players available -------------------- so if a key player is injured then the system will be modified accordingly. Whole new ball game !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current personnel we have, if Thorne is properly fit at the start of the season (or on a level with everyone else) then he should be considered based on what I've seen of him.

The_Sheriff Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I dont think he is key. You can't have an injury prone player as a key player, if he remains fit what a huge boost it is but my gut instinct is he will get another major set back and retire from pro football. Which will be a shame for the lad but a waste of 3million from us or whatever he cost.I know thats as dark as it gets ^^ hopefully i am so very wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheltenhamRam Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 He's got a summer out - I think he'll come back fit and raring and that we are sweating our investment. A couple of lads on my team have had similar problems on a number of occasions and returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Is he injury prone? Two major injuries on different legs has taken up a good chunk of his career. But it's still just two major seperate injuries. Not like Whitbread who's body constantly breaks down with this thing and that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craic dispenser Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Knee injury lesson:ACL tears are just unfortunate and Thorne is damn unlucky to blow both knees out at a young age. When you have surgery you lose muscle strength and control. This results in poor proprioception which is essentially your body's ability to know where its parts are and what they're doing. You can do all the training in the gym you like but your muscles will only get back to 'normal' with returning to activity. In order to do this you do work in the gym to make the affected area as strong as possible. I'd imagine Thorne's thigh injury was a consequence of his knee being ready but the rest of his leg not being. I see no reason why he can't be a regular player with a solid pre season behind him, rather than coming back from a major injury in a freezing cold winter with only slow-paced u21 games as prep.

Alph Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wasn't he asked to play on a Saturday and then Tuesday? He went off injured on the Tuesday with a thigh problem? Was the thigh ready for the Watford game? Could he have been eased in more gently or was we too desperate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thought the back to back Saturday, Tuesday starts were surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ideally, of course but can we say that any of our players are 100% definitely going to stay fit?. With the current personnel we have, if Thorne is properly fit at the start of the season (or on a level with everyone else) then he should be considered based on what I've seen of him.Not 100% but ideally 35+ games, something Thorne has never come close to. I haven't seen anything yet to think he should be considered tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am Sheep Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I had an epiphany and in it Thorne played almost every game of the season, scored 15 goals and helped propel us to a league record points total and goals for.The medication I'm currently on is rather potent but a fit Thorne is mind blowingly awesome and if he does stay fit then he will play one of the biggest parts of our season.
