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.
Ha, very much agree with all that (i think part of it is the "internet generation", ridiculously impatient). My mention was only referring to how they've made a couple of references in recent weeks, back in training for preseason, in contention for the first 3 games... so now it seems like he's behind schedule rather than ahead overall.

Yea i know mate it's frustrating but we don't know anything about the setback afaik.It may be something simple like a dead leg in training alternatively,although unlikely,his head may have fallen off.

Best to wait and see,i'm not going to cry myself to sleep worrying about it.

He is behind. You’re not letting this go, are you?!! ??

You had your cryptic inside info that you wanted to reveal etc, that's fine, he was doing well and then had a setback, it happens. All that concerns me is the big picture, not the week-by-week updates.

'Rico Henry will join part time training on Monday. He’s been running on the grass. Frank says he doesn’t know when he’ll play friendly games'. This is dissapointing and frustrating.
Tbh, my mindset is Rico won’t play this season. Now the reality, one hopes, isn’t that at all. But, and this isn’t to criticise medial team or anything, you’re gonna go mad waiting. Same with Aaron.

well you could also add alot of players to that list. Hickey isnt even a conversation.

That's a very strange mindset to have but each to their own I suppose!
Found it helps me to enjoy games much more. Instead of going, oh we might have MJ for that game, Yoane back for then, just look at what you have, go, okay, that’s what it’s going to be for the foreseeable future so let’s do our best with it. So when players do return it’s a welcomed ‘surprise’ not a long overdue relief

I wish I could do that. Instead I'm trawling updates daily!

It’s probably worth waiting to see if there is a YouTube video of today’s press conference so that you can see and hear how that particular sentence was articulated so that you can judge the meaning for yourself. Bearing in mind that your quote is taken from a journalist in the room. The written word can sometimes be ambiguous and interpreted in several ways.

Indeed. My take on that is he’s taken on a part time job as part of the healing process….

Can we start a book? Who‘s going to be back first… Henry, Wissa or Thiago?
 

Rico Henry

Sorry for my warped sense of humour.

Let us all get behind our club and team, after all they are a source of great pride for all us loyal fans.

Yes, you are quite correct. At this cruciate time we knee-d to end this in case we add insult to injury and cause collateral damage!

Pretty confident it'll be Rico. A month till the first game after the next international break - reckon that's the target now.
 

Rico Henry

BBC clearly don't think we'll ever see Rico again, as he doesn't even feature in their list of our players missing for tomorrow's game......?
 

Rico Henry

Don't like the lack of any positive news and with the need of warm up games, I can't seem him in the team till November.
 

Rico Henry

I'd bite your hand off for a guarantee that he'll be back by then
The way things don't appear to be progressing as we all want I like to think we will get the very best Xmas present ever from Rico, Even an earlier one would be nice. ?
