Great option to have if the game is tight Wellens is either trying to play mind games or is a complete buffoon. He has to play from the start...

Then have that ref miss a goal for the opposition? I was thinking more of the twenty odd years after that but I get your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if he isn't fit to do so. He had 6 weeks minimum where he wasn't able to maintain his cardiovascular fitness to the level needed for a professional footballer. He might not be fit enough to start for another week. Having Duckens start but knowing he is only going to play for 60 minutes could prove very useful.

LaticsLegend Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It's got to be mind games. Wellens said himself not long ago it was contact that was the issue, not fitness. If he played half an hour at Scunny hes surely fine to start on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right.. I see today ambitious Notts County are prepared to pay £15,000 a week to a quality foreign forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I think letting Davies and Nazon wear their defence down for 65 minutes then bringing Doyle on is the smarter tactic. Davies and Nazon are quick and strong, by the time Doyle comes on Clarke will be like a wounded gazelle and Doyle will probably find better success.

Or we could be 3-0 up and cruising so can leave Doyle on the bench- we may still bring him on for fitness reasons, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Clarke cant play , unlike the situation with Ricketts the loan rules have been changed. (Probably to save the likes of latics any embarrassment ) Players are not allowed to play against their parent club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I love the idea that every manager preparing to face a team in 18th-22nd place is scouring the club website to try and get a clue about our team and tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle found plenty of success at the start of the season against fit and untired defenders aswell. Nonsense to say he shouldnt start when he is clearly fit. Sacrifice both the strikers to play Doyle on his own if you have to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree with Wellens assessment that Doyle will need a couple of games from the bench. No need to worry though, that will still leave ten or so games for him to start.

Absolutely right, very serious risk of recurrence - and people who get them often have a genetic predisposition (my daughter has it - lifetime of management with flights etc.). That's a risk thing however. Match fitness is separate, and he seemed sprightly enough last time out, so I wouldn't be surprised if he started.

diggleblue Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I suspect this was not a spontaneous clot. More likely it was secondary to an arterial wall injury with subsequent clot formation over the site of the damage. It is therefore probably not going to be recurrent and hereditary factors probably won't play a part. Am unable to be sure as I don't have all the medical details.

another fan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Having broken a leg recently I have just had to self inject a drug known as Clexane which apparently prevents blood clotting. Tonights was the 30, therefore only another 12 left. Unfortunately even though I am sporting a full length cast coloured blue I will not be allowed to go to the match tomorrow.
