HeyHudson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Quote George Thorne could miss Derby County’s next two matches with a back problem.The midfielder limped off in the first half of the defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday.The calf injury is linked to the back problem, the club say.He is in London today having treatment.“George will be pushed to make this weekend’s game against Hartlepool and possibly Tuesday as well,” said head coach Paul Clement.Derby play Reading in the Championship at the iPro Stadium on Tuesday. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Derby-County-Live-Rams-blog-Thursday-January-7/story-28479244-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Rest him vs. Hartlepool. Have the players all got crappy mattresses? Bucko, Carson, now Thorne all suffering with bad backs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 With Thorne out, presumably Johnson will go to holding mid for the next league game. Bryson is back in training and could be involved vs Hartlepool. This could be his chance to make his mark and get back in the first team. @valleyram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 not worth risking on a sh@@ty day out in monkey hanger land - rest him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 perfect time to rest him...we could go up to Hartlepool with our under 21's and beat them, should rest them all for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is tongue in cheek lol U21s lost to Villa reserves last time out so would be a big risk against the pool. That was reply to post above ?

Not at all, if we can't beat them with our 3rd choice team then there is something wrong, and if we do lose it doesn't matter at all, we aren't going to win the FA Cup, we are in a promotion race and the sooner we get out of any other distractions the better.

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It's been one of most intense period of his career so far, so somethings gone but we don't to panik him back or play him anyway, so much better than "knee's gone, see you next year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we have a big squad so we want to do well in the FA Cup IMO . I would put a decent side out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyHudson Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 My initial concern is that we've had a couple of injuries lately where the expected return date has kept getting pushed back (Bryson, Carson, Bucko). It may well be that the club are trying to spin this in the best possible light, but it really wouldn't surprise me if he misses more than Hartlepool and Reading. </GlassHalfEmpty> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just now, curtains said: No we have a big squad so we want to do well in the FA Cup IMO . I would put a decent side out but we definitely won't win it, so what is the point.? What if we go up to Hartlepool and Shackle breaks his leg as we comfortably win then we play Sunderland in the next round and Ince pulls his hamstring....and then we lose to them..... so we end up out of the cup with two of our key players out... just no point. at the very most I would play people like Pearce, Bryson, Blackman, Camara players that aren't required for the rest of the season or who are just starting with us.

Kernow Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Slightly worrying. Carson was only supposed to be out short term with his back injury and he's missed 7 games so far. Hopefully if Georgey is only out for Hartlepool and Reading we've got enough to cope. I wouldn't like him out much longer when bigger games like Burnley away come around. He would have been rested against Hartlepool anyway, that's almost certain, so we can't really count that as a match missed through injury. Versus Reading, although a very good player down, it would make it easier to try a 4-2-3-1 which I'm excited to see now Blackman has arrived. It would require dropping one of the midfield three however, so with Thorne out it gives us more leniency to do that.

Thing is though you can be injured in training at any time. Its a fact in football that you have to live with injuries it's part and parcel of the game. I would give some fringe players game time but would still put a decent side out. Chelsea at home etc next round would be a money spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel has enough of it, and the money available from a home tie against Chelsea that we would lose compared to a full season in the Premiershite doesn't compare at all. We need to rest at least... Grant, Christie, Keogh, Shackell, Thorne, Butterfield, Hendrick, Ince, Martin and Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the money coming in and out of the club, and the more money spinners we have, the more we are allowed to spend without risking any kind of penalty.
