Carl Sagan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Mentioned in the DET by Wassall tonight, who was presumably asked about him at the U23 match: “It’s the same for every player,” he said. “They’re playing with the under-23s because they want to catch our manager’s attention, but also other managers that are watching in the stand. "George is no different. "He wants to get back into that first-team squad and by performing with the under-23s and performing well, he will give himself the best opportunity.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathRam72 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I watched the game last night. George is showing some of his old flair when it comes to vision and passing. Pity some of the youngsters weren't on his wavelength. Where he did appear to struggle was his tackling, he look nervous and shied away from a good few. I am sure this is due to the injuries playing on his mind. Get over that and we could well have the George Thorne we know and love so much back in the first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Disagree with Bath George did not shy away from tackles, and previous game took a right number of clatters. And got dumped early on this match. There wasn’t a lot of rough and tumble about the game barthe sparring going on between young Sibley and Choudray. The midfield most certainly were on George’s wavelength but we looked somewhat bereft up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I saw the game on Rams TV and for me George has to do an awful lot more to impress. The game at that level is easy for him but instead of absolutely dominating he seems content to go with the pace of the game. Not a criticism as such just my observation.

I can’t see what more he could have done, he covered an enormous amount of ground, he broke up play, he passed the ball around, he had our (only) two shots on target. As you say, at this level...I’d pick him over Hudds now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddlestone has barely played so far too - He's had a single cup game Think Johnson is the guy currently holding the DM spot - So the question is more about whether Huddlestone should come in and then could Thorne displace him?

Animal is a Ram Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It's a shame we didn't draw another 'minnow' in the League Cup. Would have come at an opportune time, but Huddlestone seems to be ahead of Thorne. I'd prefer a mid 3 of Thorne/Huddlestone Mount Johnson just because it has the balance of flair, passing, aggression and physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about Fozzie and Bryson with their double injuries .. we are just beginning to see signs that they are still players. Time might not be on Bryson's side but recently Fozzie has looked the full package again. George is younger. I have hopes - and the fact that he's getting game time tells me that the hierarchy feels the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Ram for All Seasons Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 There was a player at Arsenal, can't remember his name, who had a stress fracture of the patella. He was calmly walking along the street one day when his kneecap suddenly split into two pieces, which is quite traumatic. He got over the injury all right but he spent most of his waking hours worrying about when his kneecap would break again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
