Gandalf's shin pads Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I know we will, in all likelihood, not be seeing anything of Thorne much before October/November. Just wondered, with season starting next week, if anyone had seen/read/heard any update on his progress!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajstrawb Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Will he play in 4-4-1-1?? Presuming that's the formation we do go with. Our over populated midfield list now has to compete for 1/3 less places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a DM we didn't always see the forward aspect to his game in full technicolour so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're over reliant on a player who can really play one position, in a system that's not certain to be used nearly as much this coming season...... If, and it's a if...... We get off to a great start, he's going to find it difficult to get in. Gone are the days of walking back into the side as if they were a messiah and we missed them greatly.

Ambitious Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I hope he's back soon, he and Hughes are on another playing field to the rest of our squad. It's a shame they haven't been able to play much together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Because of the guys physicality I would argue on he can only play one position, Ok he can only play DM for CM, but in a 4-4-2 kind of system he is more of a versatile CM then most of the so called attcking CMs we do have, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 A fully fit George Thorne is one of the first names on the team sheet in my opinion. He would be great in a midfield 2 with a more attacking option alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Quote GEORGE Thorne has had a small surgical procedure to ease pain he had been feeling in the leg he broke in the final league game of last season. Thorne has been out since suffering the injury playing against Ipswich Town in May. The midfielder has not featured in any of the pre-season matches and he missed the team's photo shoot earlier this week while in London seeing a specialist. Derby are now hoping Thorne can push on with his rehabilitation although there is no timescale on a possible return. "George was having a bit of pain and the small procedure has allieviated that so I would expect him now to starting pushing on again," said manager Nigel Pearson. "He is in decent spirits because it has been a frustrating time for him, but he will be fine."

Carl Sagan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Bad news about GT's latest setback. It seems as though Pearson's decided that we won't consider playing with a central defensive midfielder unless and until Thorne is fit. Hopefully he will be available for selection at some point in the autumn to give us the extra options and quality he provides. And hopefully we'll be playing so well without him there'll be no need to rush the guy back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Poor George. Has the man not suffered enough with injuries. Hopefully he will be a big part of NP plans this season as he is a total enforcer when he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Couldn't they have held off doing the team photo til he got back? Poor lad, talk about kicking a man when he's down.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
