Gritstone Ram Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think someone said on here before. George should have been the one going out on loan to get back to match fitness and then back in the team. I don't think his rehabilitation has been well thought through.

G-Ram Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 He looks fat & slow a shadow of the player he was before injury. He needs to get fit & back to his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob The Badger Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 2 hours ago, PodgeyRam said: As I've said in the title really. Where is he? We haven't seen him since the Sunderland debacle where despite the fact he was well below standard, we got worse when we took him off the pitch. I've not seen any statement put out by the club saying he's injured. Johnson played in that match, has been injured since and has already returned to the team. Has he had a bust up with Rowett? Edit: Here's a nice and precise thread title for you to enjoy @StringerBell Maybe they are starting to realise the obvious. That is, it's a roll of the dice on how players come back from an ACL injury. He's never looked even half the player he was, other than the name remains the same. He's too slow, too laborious and a shadow of his previous self. And it gives me zero pleasure to say that. In fact quite the opposite, I'm gutted.

CWC1983 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Ill add another rumour I heard yesterday. The players have been in 2 distinct groups for a while and there's tension between them in training. The players that were caught in the middle got fed up with it and asked to be moved on.

There's been some strange decisions regarding players this season. Some flavour of the month, then completely out of the picture. Anya, Wisdom, Baird, Johnson, Forsyth, Olson. Martin, Russell, Bryson. In my opinion it doesnt create a team spirit if you are uncertain about your place in the team and 1 bad game means you are out of the squad.

Can't just be down to playing rubbish because if that the reason, Rowett would be playing the under-23s in midfield by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably needs a move away from this club, if only to get the monkey off his back. Fozzy, what ever happened to that half decent left back?? Another who should move on for the sake of his career. Well I thought getting fozzy, Thorne and Martin back would be like signing three new players for this season. So much for that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 This IS the same George Thorne that voluntarily signed a new contract only a few weeks ago and who was saying how well he had been managed through a difficult period by Gary Rowett, isn't it? Or is there another one? And the same GT who has had a number of chances to play this season but who hasn't (yet) got to anywhere near the level that we and he and GR knows he can reach. Much easier though to create a story about trouble in the dressing room or between GR and the players or the players fed up with boring football. No signs of that when they were winning though............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No signs of that when they were winning though............ I agree ,, no matter what any of us fans think on rowett ,methods ,style ,,, every single player should bust a gut on the pitch and in training because they are employed by the club and have a duty to the fans who shell out their hard earned week in week out to turn up and watch , so contrary to any player being seen as a hero for causing problems with the manager and dressing room ( only rumour?) I see them as selfish disruptive prima donnas who rather than take a good hard look at themselves and do what they are hugely paid to do would rather short change the club and the fans ,,, as I say this post is neither pro nor anti rowett ,it matters not who is employed at a given time as manager ,players that pull that **** need getting rid of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboram Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 George Thorne 2014 version = Fantastic player, will play a big part in our march to the Premiership George Thorne 2018 version = Sadly hampered by too many major injuries/operations. Gutted for the lad but, in my opinion, will never be GT '14 again. Seriously can't understand why he (amongst others) was given a new contract, especially at a time we have to start unloading a top heavy squad.
