Not having a person at the club in charge of medical matters just adds to confusion and communication. Its a mess.

The direct quote is apparently
“Rico is progressing, he’s way closer to playing that Josh Dasilva but it’s not that he will be playing next week. It’s going forward.”
Rico Henry
It's further down the line, means further away than Rico, that's how I read it.

Ridiculous amount of games that our 2 first choice full backs have missed in the last 12 months.............
In short, all of them!!!

And you don't think that someone will be deputising and in charge of medical matters whilst we recruit for a new head of medical?

Madness that we have had a year without a recognised permanent RB or LB.

I've liked your post because I agree. Those who don't, will probably say......our owner takes calculated risks and he's been proved right so far. He has. Long may his judgement / luck continue.

He’s a jack of all trades and good but master of none. Modern day Jamie Bates.

It's not even surprising any more.
Plenty said we needed a full back in in the summer. Plenty said 'No need - Rico will be back - we're not going to have him on the bench. And Hickey will be back soon - no need to panic.' Others replied 'there's no guarantee of that - let's get someone as it's such a specialised position'.
I sympathise with Rico as he must be more frustrated than anyone. But this was all so predictable.

Yes - and very promising he looked too, v. Orient.
Not sure it was envisaged he was ready for regular first team duties this season?

Brentford sign Jayden Meghoma
Brentford sign full-back Jayden Meghoma from Southampton; 18-year-old puts pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Bees; Thomas Frank: “Jayden is one of the biggest left-back talents this country has”

I'd hope every player we sign can "help" us. In one way or another.
Both now and in the future.
Otherwise why sign them? ?

Ajer has been superb in both full back positions. I’m more then happy for him to play right back and I’d start Meghoma on the left.

That’s nowt. We used to get injured properly. Sometimes they’d have to sew us legs back on. And we’d be out for ten years at a time. Tell that to ‘t youngsters these days and they won’t believe you.

You missed a bit = "Sometimes they'd have to sew us legs back on and we'd have to go back on the pitch for the rest of the game."

I think superb is stretching it. Rico is superb. Can’t say Ajer is at his footballing level.

Josh is further down the line, that means he is waiting at a much further train stop before he gets on.

As you summed it up perfectly, are you one of those that don’t?
you clearly get the strategy and understand we won’t pay 40m for a full back when we have ample cover and two injured ones coming back.

Pep‘s comments about Rodri‘s injury were interesting, saying that muscle injuries after so long out extends the period out beyond expected timings which appears to be the issue with Rico, he needs time albeit we want him playing asap, and returning too soon won’t help anyone. As Always Up The Bees

There’s absolutely no point in Rico playing a first-team game if the medical and conditioning staff are not 100% sure, in their opinion, that he’s ready for it. Our recent history is not just injuries but injuries to players returning from injury, so I’d say this caution is the result of our record.
Having said that, I’d keep him away from Mateo Kovačić when we next play City.

Completely agree.
But there were a majority of posters on here in July, including some who often post opinion as fact, expecting him to practically play every PL game when he returned. We had numerous comments like 'we don't need another FB - no-one is displacing Rico and we're not dropping him for someone we don't need.'
Even if Rico had come back at the time he was expected, he was always going to be eased back gently and was never going to play 90 mins in many games. Now he will be eased back even more gently. Whenever that is.
I'm just surprised lots of fans didn't see that coming.

But we made a signing ‘the Brentford Way’©, with Jayden Meghoma, who is expected, I hope, to replace Rico in the longer term. No-one could know before the season… or even now… exactly when Rico would be ready to play, so Jayden is also on a similar timeline but for different reasons. We were never going to lash out on a Premier League starter on that basis.

TF said Rico had a minor minor injury a few weeks back, so I can only presume he has picked up another injury keeping him out much longer or the minor minor injury was not correctly diagnosed in its severity.
In summary I cannot remember the year in which TF has the luxury of picking our best 11.

Ecky thump lad, I used to dream about having my legs sewn back on before going back onto the pitch for the rest of the game, I lived in a shoe box and worked down t'pit for 12 hours straight before coming home to wash in a tin bath...
