CapeTownRams Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere......but was just playing back the Millwall game and at the final whistle with the players shaking hands etc I notice that Nuge was limping quite badly and noticeably. Any word on that at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on that at all ? Yeah,saw that as well,hopefully just tweaked it a bit. He's no spring chicken so hopefully he will either be subbed a little earlier in games or rotated....be mad to overuse him and pick up a major injury that sidelines him for the season.

Gritstone Ram Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I think after playing at that level and his age you may stiffen up after a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 It looked more than just tightening up etc. A real and pronounced limp. Winced at one point too..... Won’t be surprised if Martin or Sam start at Hull. No announcement from the Club re any injury so fingers crossed I guess.... Merry Xmas all.

Steve How Hard? Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Could explain the introduction of Winnall. Get him match sharp as Nuge and Winnall are quite similar players. Hope it's nothing too serious as we'll need the full compliment of our strikeforce if we are to continue our assault on those top two spots.

Sparkle Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I fully expected to see Martin start at hull but maybe now a much easier decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally only do if it results in unnecessary injuries to older players who are invaluable to our promotion push... Nugent has looked knackered in the last two games by half time...push him too hard and he will break... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I'm worried about and I fear that we will get more injuries if we don't make changes. Also, there's no way that the likes of Huddlestone, Johnson, Baird or Forsyth will be able to play 4 games in just over a week and perform to an effective standard in each of the games. I don't understand playing them all when we have adequate replacements like Thorne who will be chomping at the bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 What's the point in having Thorne, Martin, Olsson,Russell, Wisdom and Winnall if we are rarely going to start them? Their spots could be taken by under 23s instead if Rowett had no intention of rotating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they always talk about tweaks and people coming off with tight muscles etc. Im 99% sure there is absoluely nothing in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the comments he says in the media if he isn't backing it up with actions. Plus as the players above says, at an average age of nearly 30, we need to be trusting the other players in the squad that they are also good enough. The bench on Saturday was one of the strongest I've seen in a long time. To think Olsson, Shacks, Anya (senior players) and then Hanson, Bird and Thomas as younger players are on the fringes is a pleasing prospect although the three seniors we do need to try and find new clubs for.

If anything could improve Winnall's game, is just hanging around with, learning from and being understudy to, Davie Nugent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
