Srg Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Problem? Savage played last season when his legs had gone. True.. he'd of been better as a flid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Does it really matter if he missed a couple of pre-season games? These games mean eff all. Training is far more important and luckily he will be back way before the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I bet there are players all around the country getting little strains now. Bet the first weeks back in training are full of that. At least it's nothing like Essien at Chelsea. (6 months!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he makes a couple of games it shouldn't matter too much, pre season is a chance for players to get 90 minutes on the pitch under their belt. Match fitness can't be gained on the training pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training is far more important and luckily he will be back way before the start of the season. Managers always seem to place a lot of importance on players getting a full pre-season in and I agree from experience. The games mean eff all but playing in a match situation means a hell of a lot. Games under the belt are more important than running up hills. This happens way too often for it to be a coincidence, or bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 this is a good chance for chris riggort to take part in this game, and show us all just how fit he really is and also for to get closer to a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been training by himself as he's not fit enough to join in properly with the 1st team yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Watched an interview with him on Rams Player, didn't want to give a time scale on when he would be fit. Got the impression he won't be back fit for the pre season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 i was thinking like last 15 minuties or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 i was thinking like last 15 minuties or so Sorry to dissapoint b4, but Nige definitely said he won't be ready to join in with the first team for another couple of weeks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 i was also thinking because jake buxton also out, so this might force his hand but i rather him take him time and get fit, but then needs get macht fitness back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much match fitness even, he's not even fit enough for training yet. That's why he's doing it by himself. But I agree, it's really important to get him involved in friendlies. Unless he uses pre-season to get back in to the groove, we can forget about any return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just seen the whole of the article in the DET . So we're going to play 2 teams for 45 mins each against Burton. Righto, we've got 2 keepers who can both play 45 mins, that's easy. Full backs, now it gets difficult, we've got one left back and one right back. Center halves, we've got Anderson and erm, Leacock who he's trying to get rid of. Could also give O'Brien a game. Center mid we've got two for two positions, maybe throw Hendrick in as well. Forwards/Wingers/Wide midfield/3 behind the striker positions, well all our 6 Strikers seem to be in the same mould where they cover in midfield if need be, but there's 4 positions there so we're still short of 2 (1 if we're including the useless ginge). I reckon we need another 8 players to do this Nige, maybe I should take my boots with me just in case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 ^^ Hendrick's on international duty with the Republic under 19s isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 He will play players way out of position to do it. Expect Croft at rightback for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 He did say that the likes of Brayford could play 90 minutes, I expect Brayford to play 45 at full back and 45 at centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
