Rico Henry

[PGH_Bee]

I’d bet a whole lot of cash that he makes an impact against city. It’s time.

 

[Hippobee]

We really need him back, and to be firing like the old Rico asap.

Having Janelt, Ajer or KLP at LB is asking for trouble against most sides in this league.

 

[GU24 Bee]

I thought Janelt struggled defending yesterday, he got caught out on a number of occasions by a through ball, I feel KLP does a better job in that position.

Agree , there were a few times he was slow to pick a runner going wide that a specialist full back would instinctively have picked up, gave us a couple of hairy moments

I felt we were more balanced though

There were two similar balls played through the LCB/LB channel that he got caught out on but I think we look lots better with a naturally left footed player in that position.

It also helps us to be more adventurous in midfield.

 

[jlove]

God yes. That is why we need two full backs playing who are just that.

It’s really that simple, isn’t it? Two dedicated full backs, one left one right, will transform our play.

 

[brentford born & bred]

VJ playing left back gives us balance since left footed, is comfortable receiving the ball in tight situations and his distribution/crossing is good. However I don't feel he has the athleticism defensively as a left back. Playing him left back is a compromise due to current availability. The sooner Rico is back and Jayden Meghoma is deemed ready to play first team the better.

Forgot about that…. Let’s hope the club putting something up.

I read a report about three weeks ago that Rico was training again and embarrassed the defence TF had picked for the Palace match by how easily he’d run though them.
I’ve heard nothing since, is he expected to be fit to compete for a start after the International break or have I missed something ?

Taking him on very very slowly

It was announced he would play BCD friendly this week

 

[Beeswaxnees]

Easily my favourite player, I do have a friend who is a friend of a friend of a family member who said; he won't be playing BCD today. Hopefully one of the friends are mistaken, but my immediate source is normally always correct. I do hope he is wrong in this case.

IF that’s correct that doesn’t sound good at all and I to hope your FOAFM is wrong. ??

 

[Simon W]

If Rico plays, I'm sure there will be a pic on social media highlighting his return. If theres no pics then he may not have played which is a little worrying.

Patience Timothys. I'm assuming there will be bumps in the road.

Hope hes not broken.

Anymore you can tell us as to why he didn’t play?

Due the weather was the game even played ?

From the OS about the BCD match:

“Rico Henry rested as a precaution after picking up a small knock, not related to his knee injury, in training ahead of the match”

 

[Beat Poet]

Rico Henry was rested as a precaution, having picked up a small knock, not related to his knee injury, in training ahead of the match.

His cat is called "knock". All a cover.

Bit of a cup final for them. Upped their game against the big boys.

We don't do friendlies with the Bushboys. Rico knows better.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

sh*t news though. No luck for Rico at all!

Stand by for lots more of this. Players returning from a year out generally pick up a succession of knocks as their bodies start to return to the level required...

Glad Rico was rested, save him for ???????

If he's had a knock then it would be stupid to play him. He'll play when he's fully fit. It's what we all want isn't it?

 

[Boston Bee]

Brentford seems to specialize in 'set backs' after long-term injuries. We'll have to be patient.

The fact they put "not related to his knee injury" has shortened this thread by three pages

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Maybe he didn't fancy getting wet. I had a lad in my football team who got injured if the weather was going to be bad.

 

[W5BeesFan]

"Small knock" in Brentford terms leaves me cold.

 

[Andrelux]

"Small knock" in Brentford terms leaves me cold.

Usually means back before the end of the season.


Unless there's a setback, of course

This sort of gentle "knock" you mean.....

Redirect Notice

 

[longdistancebee]

Ffs. Trouble is, 'small'? I fully understand that the club aren't going to say, It's OK Pep, Henry is out so you can set up accordingly, but it's so frustrating that he might now be another month out, or it could genuinely be a slight, for example, groin strain and he'll be fine by early next week. So time to fess up - which member of the club's board has run over a black cat or annoyed a witch or something. Dear me....

 

[Mr Tree]

He was out for 14 months after his last knee injury. He did this one 12 months ago. Maybe the club should've tempered expectations... but it's better he comes back when he's right rather than rushing

With respect,i think the club do try to temper expectations.

It's us the fans who constantly cry out for daily updates on injured players and try to nail the club down to give us return dates for those players out.When the club says players are close we then start anticipating which game they will return to playing and get all disappointed when that often made up deadline passes.

The borderline obsessive behaviour with scanning training pics/video's looking for a player and getting all upset when they don't see them is laughable imo.They may have just popped off to the loo when it was taken.

Some of our supporters are similar to kids in the back of a car asking if we're there yet every 5 minutes on a long journey.
