He has been back training 3 weeks before this latest set back and he wasnt any where near full fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Get rid , can't afford players who are out for any length of time . The guy is not a naturally fit player and it will take him the best part of 6 months to get match fit again. The only way Latics are going to get out of this league is for PD to put together a half decent side that can play 90% of the matches . He aint that far off it now but players like Reid and Diallo take up squad places that would be better off filled with players who at least have a history of playing regularly. i remember of couple of years ago when Colchester went up , in an interview their manager was asked what was the secret - "Having 10 players who played in 40 games each over the season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If he doesn't get back into action by the end of the season, I'd cut our losses. Harsh, but we need available players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 And Diamond? Diamond's injuries have tended to be of the 'bump & bang' type that you'd expect someone who throws his body on line like Diamond does to get now & again. He's not been out long-term with any of them, and his famous weak knee hasn't been a factor at all in any of them......if I was dealing with the contracts for next season; Diamond would be one of the first group offered fresh terms. As for Reid - he's been a big loss. IMO, he was our best player up until his injury. But, that had a lot to do with the fact he had a full pre-season & was looking the fittest he ever has done. My worry was always how long it was going to take him to get back; fully recovered & fully fit from this injury...........this set-back only adds to my concerns that we wont see a fully recovered & fully fit Reuben Reid again this season.
