Ballard injury

[Longy]

Surely if they remotely have a chance to play, he will start them.

Three weeks until the next game and to be honest, we won’t have an important match left until August.

Absolutely should be this.

I’d normally be Mr sensible with this & talk about the rest of the season, but in reality we’re looking for an amazing run of form to sneak into the European places. It’d be a huge surprise. We’ve probably got enough points to stop up & will pick more up. It’d be nice to finish top half, but it’s not that important in the grand scheme of things.

Fuck it. Throw the kitchen sink at this match & patch up the injuries after.

Hope Dan is sleeping in an oxygen tent and resting every bit of himself until Sunday morning

Think his dad was a squaddie n stationed over there.

I may be talking absolute shite?

Might have been, don't know the full circumstances but his mam is from NI.

I’m not so sure about no important games. It’s very tight in the middle third. I think we will take some calculated risk because of the break but I don’t yet agree we have nothing to play for beyond Sunday.

That's sounds like a michael Jackson story ....from the late 80s....

I don’t think the injury in the first half was his hamstring. Seemed like he’d taken knock and spent 10 minutes trying to run it off, looked more like he’d jarred his ankle or knee.

But had he come off at HT he then wouldn’t have felt his hamstring

Dunno like it was pretty close to where I sit I was probably about 20 yards away from him and he seemed to be clearly holding his hamstring with everyone around of the same opinion, we were all baffled that he carried on.

Press conference is tomorrow at 13:30 so hopefully good news ,

Was working on a base over there n was told that like. Was 3-4 year back so he’d barely played for us then.

See who he replaced on his call up?

His mother is the N Irish link. No idea whether his dad was over there for a bit

Definitely have enough points to stay up
I think there will be a winner in forest spurs game and the loser is then dog eat dog v west ham
If coaching team reckons a player will last 90 minutes then play him
Likes of Ballard have a patchy ( as nice as I can describe it) injury history. Hope he plays but I have my doubts
Mukiele is man for me
He showed earlier in the season he is one of finest CB in the premier league despite easily being our best RB

Let’s be real, there ain’t no way Ballard is going to be fit for Sunday. Hobbled off with a suspected hamstring injury, we’ll be lucky if he’s back for the Spurs game.

Fair enough then I thought it was his knee but actually it did look like he was trying to stretch it out so hamstring would make sense. I'd be amazed if he played sunday

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

We are better defensively when Mukiele plays CB.

We're just better defensively full stop with Mukiele in the side.

He was holding the hamstring just above the back of the knee for sure. I said at the time it looked awkward

if 50/50 and a key player and they want to play.. then play them, have couple weeks to recover with internationals on, but they have to be confident and wanting to play

Exactly. Would be such a huge confidence boost if we can even get 75 minutes out of him

Yeah I agree, don’t think we’ll really know whose fit until the starting line up is announced
