Igor Thiago
One game all season ?He started a game for us less than four months ago. Who has voted back from an ACL in four months?

So is Igor is a little behind Rico, Hickey and Nunes in terms of recocery? But ahead of JDS
We should be used to it, by now, but it doesn’t really help. IIRC we signed Rico injured, and we didn’t see him for ages. Hogan got injured in his first(?) league game, and then absent for eons….Being realistic it doesn’t matter really if he plays this season or not.
It’s a great shame, as I loved what I did see of him, but it is what it is.
I’m sure he will be 100% for next season, and will basically be a delayed new signing.
Next season could be very exciting as we will most likely have no major injuries to start with.

With our record with injuries, that's a highly optimistic prediction, I would have thought, but I certainly hope that you're right!Next season could be very exciting as we will most likely have no major injuries to start with.
If he gets any minute this season it’ll just be part of his pre-season next. It does seem the new medical regime is being extremely cautious with returning players. There appears to be periods with 45 minutes, not necessarily consecutive, then probably some sort of sign-off before going to the next stage of 60 minutes (based on a very small sample), etc. There’s a great determination to get players up to Premier League speed minimising and recurrence or consequential injury.Being realistic it doesn’t matter really if he plays this season or not.

Seems clear to me:I know that we (or at least some of us) get obsessed about these details, but it would be helpful if there was a little more clarity in the messages as the tweet from Sam T. isn't as clear as it could be.
“Thiago is progressing, going a little bit slower, but progressing,” said Frank.
“He is building the muscle volume and strength around the knee to make sure he ticks all of the strength markers.
“He is running, and he is also part training, so it’s moving forward.
“Josh Dasilva is a little bit further off it than Igor.”
Yes, this does seem clear, but the précis from Sam - whose tweets I generally appreciate - isn't as clear as it could be IMHO.Seems clear to me:
Let's hope so we've had Thiago and Nunes out for the season and Rico Hickey and Josh all out for for basically two seasonsI did think that as I typed it, but we deserve a more favourable season injury wise
Here's hoping, but the same could have been said for this season too!I did think that as I typed it, but we deserve a more favourable season injury wise

There’s a big difference between being “stuck mid table” in 13th and mid table in 10thI read that as JDS ahead of Igor. I'd like to we these players but can ask for next season.If we are stuck mid league is rather have a look at players like JiSoo and Konak than risk anything.
Absolutely no point. You have to consider the risk of too much load after injury. I expect sub appearances and a training programme through the summer to get cracking come August. New season starts in only 4 months so that is the better target.Whilst the temptation might be to keep them wrapped in cotton wool, I'd like Igor and Gustavo to get some meaningful game time this season. The matches towards the end of the season are likely to be dead rubbers so it's an excellent opportunity to give them experience in the Premier League. Might mean they can hit the ground running in August rather than the obligatory months of adaptation.
Exactly, season is over so make a fresh start in August after a full, uninterrupted pre-season
????????

I read it as Igor being the closest to a return and Josh the furthest away.That's an awfully confusing tweet ??![]()

Surely if the players are deemed fit before the season ends they should play or at least be in the squad. If they are not selected it would be because they are not fit or not good enough.Absolutely no point. You have to consider the risk of too much load after injury. I expect sub appearances and a training programme through the summer to get cracking come August. New season starts in only 4 months so that is the better target.
Sorry, just no point in taking the risk with nothing to play for. Keep our powder dry for a fast start with a full squad next season. It’s only 4 months away.No way!!!
Every place counts, Plus i want to smash the likes of Chelsea Fulham and Utd.
Then finish it off by finishing above Fulham.![]()
From Thomas via the club website:I read it as Igor being the closest to a return and Josh the furthest away.
Agree - it’s really not clear. The journalists in the room need to be doing better. His tweet is directly quoting Thomas, so one of them should have followed up and asked him to clarify.That's an awfully confusing tweet ??![]()

Each place is around 3mSorry, just no point in taking the risk with nothing to play for. Keep our powder dry for a fast start with a full squad next season. It’s only 4 months away.
All back before the end of the season except Carvalho?
So, the "order" could be:
1. Rico (and Jensen??)
2. Hickey and Nunes
3. Thiago
4. Dasilva
5. Cavalho
Maybe......
You’re think too small, speculate to accumulate @Carri Bee UnEach place is around 3m
Especially if European qualification could go as low as 11thThere’s a big difference between being “stuck mid table” in 13th and mid table in 10th
Never mind all that. Top 10 means a permanent fixture in page 1 of the table on MOTD….You’re think too small, speculate to accumulate @Carri Bee Un
Max 3 places higher this season = £9m v top four with a full squad next season + Champions League in 26/27 = £Squillions and world domination
Now yer talking ?Never mind all that. Top 10 means a permanent fixture in page 1 of the table on MOTD….
We should plan to start the season with around four to five absences, which is about average.Being realistic it doesn’t matter really if he plays this season or not.

How can you plan when you don't know what positions you might need to cover?We should plan to start the season with around four to five absences, which is about average.
I agree, the injury levels that most clubs have experienced over the past 2 seasons are here to stay imo, and will become the norm. Just something else for the teams with smaller squads to factor in.We should plan to start the season with around four to five absences, which is about average.
I suppose increase your squad size, buy players who can play in more than one position, something I think we have done with a reasonable amount of success from last season.How can you plan when you don't know what positions you might need to cover?
I always thought Who was on first?Yes. Ahead of JDS. Who is ahead of Ron Greenwood.

You mean - play our first few matches with six or seven players on the pitch? It would take other teams by surprise - and might even start a trend.........We should plan to start the season with around four to five absences, which is about average.
It was nearer £1.7m last year.Each place is around 3m
The issue has not just been the number of injuries but the length of them. Not to have Henry, Hickey and DaSilva for pretty much 2 seasons and Thiago and Nunes for 1 season is not the norm of other clubs. It is easier to cope with say 5 players out if it is rotated and they are weeks rather than months and seasons. You are right the depth of squad is key and we need to have good cover for whoever drops out. Hopefully Thiago will be ready to have a full strong preseason and we will see him thrive next season.I agree, the injury levels that most clubs have experienced over the past 2 seasons are here to stay imo, and will become the norm.

Really puts TF and PG in a pickle this summer judging who and what we need.The issue has not just been the number of injuries but the length of them.

They will already have scenarios covered mateReally puts TF and PG in a pickle this summer judging who and what we need.
You can actually, look it up( homegrown and age is your clue), but as Kingston bee said, with the number of injuries, squads will need to be more flexible moving forward.That's fine. You can't have a 30 man squad for a limit of 25 with 5 around "just in case".
