Ballard injury

[Tin Man]

Great odds for someone with the surname Jones to start against the mags!

Billy to return?

Kevin Phillips has let it slip today he's not worried about injuries as he was at training yesterday.

I didn't think they trained Sunday like tbh but those are his comments.

Where did he say this ?

Hume - Mukiele - Alderete - Reinildo

Back four for Sunday

That would do me, if Ballard isn’t available. For some reason, Geertruida’s effort appears to have nosedived so Hume in there for me.

I think Roefs will be back as well

I wonder if that interview was from Friday ,seems strange that they are in on Sunday

Should have Ba massaging the fucker 24/7 and feeding him grapes and steak.

Still got the feeling he's gave at least 3 of them more time fitness wise hence the side on Saturday where tbf we were good for a point imo
Ballard won't want to miss it

Im not sure that Roefs or Mukiele will be back.

Im not sure that Roefs or Mukiele will be back.

That keeper will have to play the match of his life then

If Ballard is out i think we will risk Mukiele at cb

 

[Super Ted]

Just do what Howe does and says hes out then he’s in the team.

 

[Big Bellyingham]

If Ballard is out i think we will risk Mukiele at cb

Is that Geertruidas preferred position ?-not sure where he’s best ?

Possibly I suppose ,I just think cb would be easier for Mukiele if we risk him

I agree -but with the other lad considering how everyone was saying how good he is I still don’t know where he’s plays or am yet to see him be “outstanding “ in a game ( considering his pedigree-maybe expected à bit more?)

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

If he is out, I dare say there’ll play Burn for his aerial threat on set-pieces

I don’t think he is particularly outstanding in any position,just a good utility player who can be used at rb,cb of defensive midfielder

I don't think we ever risk players, regardless of the occasion.

To be fair, it is probably the right thing to do and ensure Nordi, Ballard etc are fit to play 5 or 6 games between now and the end of the season instead of just this one.....no matter how big it is to us fans.

I think it’ll be a mixed take on it. If he didn’t play anyone carrying a knock of some sort or not 100%, we’d be without Reinildo, Ballard, Roefs, Mukiele, Xhaka, Brobbey, Le Fee at least.

It’s the most important game of what’s left of the season and the players get three weeks off straight afterwards.

I’m sure there’ll be a few calculated risks taken on Sunday
