inter politics Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Good to see Waghorn and Lawrence (and Ibe). Sibley did apparently have an injury but yes we'll see! Is 77 Ibrahim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriot Ram99 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Maybe a move to Leeds is imminent for Sibley or his head has been turned so he is "injured" at the moment then will become fit again after the window has closed if he remains a Derby player. Call me cynical but 9 times out of 10 when a player is "injured" near a transfer deadline with interest in them they aren't injured really.

MACKWORTHRAM Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Jozwiak starting for Poland. Marshall starting for Scotland. Absolute insanity to have allowed them to play for their country when they are playing for their club in 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the EFL/Sky expecting us to play immediately after the international matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been 3 games in a week at international level. Surely they could have played the first 2 and had a rest tonight? Its the Nation's League which is essentially a glorified friendly..

oomarkwright Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It's not the player's or countries fault. It's the sky money that dictates and money that is quite useful to us at the moment with no fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Cocu says Tom Lawrence is close, but the other players (Waghorn, Bielik) will need more time to train. Bielik and Waghorn should be ready to play a friendly or U23s game in a week or two. Sibley joined training for the first time with the team today. He looked fine. The game tomorrow will be too soon after one session following his hamstring issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree with that. The Nations League was designed to give meaning to what used to be international friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Why does the 'modern' version of the beautiful game cause so many long-term injuries? Back in the day supporters knew that the team would be the same for most of the season. We could know the names of the visiting players (usually including Bestie etc!) Kick off was1930 on a Wednesday night and Saturday at 1500. If the cameras were there it'd be on telly later (free!) Radio Derby would do a brilliant commentary and the DET had a good report of the match. Now it seems that uncertainty is the only certainty! Oh well! Maybe this calls for a new topic "Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this calls for a new topic "Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!" The injuries thing puzzles me. Yes, tight turns, boots, speed and stress but counterbalanced by horrible pitches, heavy balls (?) and more physical contact shouldn’t be a difference. So what is it ? Did player play when they had niggles and just got on with it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is as the fitness and sports science has improved over the years the players are much more highly "tuned" than in days gone by - a bit like how a kitted out touring car race car is probably going to break more than the "hot" version of the road car.
