Rams1884 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 When asked about GT's fitness at the end of the post-match interview yesterday the waffle didn't sound to me that he answered in the most open and honest way. You could tell he was uncomfortable with the question. Wonder if there is more to this than meets the eye. Is he is actually fit but was pissed off that Hanson (aka Mel's love child) is getting a game ahead of him even though he is not fit to lace George's boots. Based on watching the whole midfield pile of drivel last night a half fit GT would have been better than that shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casio Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hindsight... Do you go to the games? GT has been off the pace for a while now. Wolves he was torrid. Can't just play a player because he has a reputation of being good despite being in bad form and fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am Sheep Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think it's just fatigue with King George. When was the last time he played this many games in a season? Give him some rest and some U21 matches and hopefully he'll last a bit longer next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 He didn't seem to like the question much, but my impression was that he took the question as an implied criticism of his team selection. i would have picked hanson but by the sound of it he didn't turn up. i think george needs a scan on those knees. I do wonder if he re-injured it last season after about 3 or 4 games back when he got hurt in a tackle and seemed very concerned afterwards. He was bent double, manipulating his knee, same as he did in austria. I would understand him trying to keep schtum and play with an injury after so long out, but if it needs more surgery then lets get on with it and have him back for xmas.

Sir Ramalot Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 There is a lot going on behind the scenes. As normal fans we don't see it all day every day. The GT questioning was valid and the responses were negative in tone. God only knows what the body language was like - is it me or has DW been to the same school of communications as the Bluff? Anyway clearly the most likely issue is clashes are taking place off the field. People may think they are bigger than the club and that's why they are not getting picked. Of course this kind of assumption could be wrong. Either way Thorne is a class player with the right players around him - pace being one of them. You need your best players out there - if they are injured then that's fair enough but I don't get and accept the lack of fitness - either the players are not disciplined or the trainers are not doing their job - either way it's turning into a shambles. Interesting to observe from afar though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think George's got an eating disorder, can't wait to eat all the pies and he's taking the just eat logo on his chest as inspiration to fuel his desire. you heard it here first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 George Thorne has grown weary of his glorious duties and has gone away to renew himself. He will come back under the name Sebastian Conor Doyle. So vote Mel for a third glorious decade of total law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 He's had sex with someone, something Or he's had a fight with Tom Ince. There's no chance he's unfit/injured. That would never happen to Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's destroying the club I tells ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 As said, he's looked unfit for a long time. The George Thorne who's played in recent games is a long way off one of our best players, in fact he's been one of our worst. He needs the rest.

Seth's left foot Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Maybe Thorne should start his pre-season now seeing as this season has been written off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 There is no doubt that King George is not firing on all cylinders. Injury, fitness, weight ? Who knows, but there is some acceleration missing and a slowness to his feet and reactions. You can see it a mile away. The skill is there but there is something physically not quite right. He moves like an older player. Smooth but lacking that youthful bite .. Curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, he's not named after George Thorne, god Derby fans are so delusional. She named him after George R R Martin - huge fan of Game of Thrones.

Fun fact, George Red Rocket Martin actually originally penned Game of Thornes as an unofficial biography on the Chatham based dynasty, but was forced to do a last minute edit after the family sued him for defamation.

DCFCArmy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Someone posted a Will Hughes vid on here last week, where he's messing around with Bent, and in it Tom Ince is kicking a bottle top away, it hit Georges shin and he's out for 2 months.
