Rico Henry

Looks like that PhysioScout fella was right on twitter

This smells a bit fishy.

 

[tlbee]

Forget the rankings then, as I would put that England attack higher than 5th personally. Possibly first.

I would argue the best team in world football has to win something but that’s a separate argument.

 

[TheHairdresser]

Well that's the main thing at stake here isn't it you f***ing helmet?

Absolutely gutted for Rico.

Registered today and that was their first post btw.

Ermmmmmmm

Thanks for joining. Friend of yours?

Looking on the positive side (not very popular, I know), it will be an opportunity to modify our style of play – or add a layer.

Hickey will be a more conventional left back, once he’s adjusted to that side, so we won’t be able to use him bombing forward to play as a left winger, but that also means Jensen won’t need to drop to the LB slot and Schade will have a free run at being the fast player on the left – developing a good understanding between the three, plus Collins’ cross-field switches, should give some excitement.

I’ve always thought that Roerslev works well with Mbeumo, as Mads is inclined to overlap to let Bryan cut inside and provide an outlet, occupying a defender. We just need to get Damsgaard up-and-running again, too, for the right hand side triangles. Hopefully, we’ll get more width as a result.

Nothing wrong with a glass-half-full view of the world!

 

[maddogging]

Not just any left back though is he, so much of our play in attack and defence revolves around him. Be interesting to see how we adapt to his absence

 

[Ashford Bees]

The problem when you buy no real cover. I’m gutted for Rico

We’ve tried to get cover in that position to be fair.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I'm devastated. Games aren't going to be as much fun this season.

When we load the box for a corner, who is picking up the mad dash back to pick up the long clearance by the defending team? I predict more yellow cards

 

[Ashford Bees]

Awful news. Cheque book in January.

Let’s hope the ridiculous prices subside or we risk overpaying big time.

The tactic will go in the bin. We'll adapt something different.

Edited for you

Preferred my version thank you.

There's no difference, is there?

 

[Gee Bee]

Bad news, and injuries are mounting up more this season it seems.
Every cloud though, Danny Rose still a free agent. ?

 

[longtimeagobee]

Nope, devastated spelt wrong both times?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Yes.

 

[PhilBelfastbee]

Not had an ACL myself before but would you be able to walk after such an injury as rico was

Yes is the answer. I actually walked into casualty only to be by an elder female doctor at that time is was only a ligament strain. A proper consultant a year latter told me my ACL was torn. Too late to do anything

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Edited to make @alexinho look bad. ?

 

[Gee Bee]

Indeed. We also need a squad that’s more flexible with players able to play in variety of positions. Hickey will be fine and it maybe that Ajer becomes more the Henry type but on right hand side. With Roeslev also, in most instances we should be fine? although none will be as good as Rico in team.

 

[Philly Bees Fan]

Yes.

This is profoundly off topic, but...

 

[Frothybaby]

Devastated for him. Hope recovery goes well.

 

[FlyBee]

I put a note in my diary today. It simply says…”bugger”.

 

[LingfieldBee]

Massive loss. We're be okay and adapt but a big loss. Hickey will slot into left back. Mads on the right.

 

[billy1996bichon]

Damm that's such a shame for him and will impact us massively on the pitch but luckily we have a great coaching team behind him and the world's best fans and really hope its good and strong recovery for him....

Hear me out. FPL says…

A straw we'd all gladly clutch to, but if one of your team mates posts "You'll be back stronger" it's kinda game over man.

 

[bexleybee]

I know. I’m being facetious

 

[Wouldbee]

Who else can play LB if Hickey got injured?

Janelt . I know I know.

Could be Mbeumo thinks it's a serious injury but it isn't.

Again clutching at that last straw

Chris Mepham-esque clutching... ?

 

[Wouldbee]

Ijah could still do a job?

 

[Leedsbee]

Favourite player, the first name I look for on the team sheet. We'll adapt and Rico will still be a Brentford player at the beginning of next season. Would he still be a Bee if it wasn't for his previous injury? Small crumbs of comfort for a massive blow. Stay strong, the lap of honour at the Bournemouth game shows we're 100 percent behind you Rico.

Gotta keep hope. .

Better that than "Thursday - Get Shot".

Better that than "Thursday - Get Shot".

But not as good as "Friday - sucked off Indian Bee"

[ruislip bee]

What’s Barry Tucker doing these days?

Going back a bit further - call for Dick Renwick!

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Absolutely gutted for him.

Very bad for us.

A great chance for Mads to really establish himself assuming Hickey goes left.

There goes another straw! It may be because he hasn't been asked about Rico/injuries.

75% chance according to FPL? I’m clutching that straw?

I'd prepare yourself for disappointment if I were you!

I’m just talking about the attack!

 

[upnorthbee]

We've lost another "X factor".

Raya, Rico, Jensen, Toney are/were the almost impossible to replace crew in my opinion. Matty's the last man standing.

I think 90% of us knew this season would be a lot tougher than last and this certainly doesn't make things easier.

I want to see Hickey move across and Ajer step up at RB. Ajer on day can be a force going forward, which we'll now miss with Rico's absence. I suspect it was be Mads tho who only really works in a back 5 IMO.

Yep.
Just been saying exactly this on our WhatsApp group.
(And posted similar on a separate thread).

I’m not sure either of them really work in a back four, to be honest.

Probably not ?

Time for Odubajo's 3rd spell?

 

[W5BeesFan]

Terrible news for Rico and the team. I wonder how often we'll opt for back 3 now without our main LWB in the five? Could it be time to trial the time honoured 442 with covering midfielders?
