Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

Why four weeks?

Surely he's fully fit and part of the lay off was conditioning, strengthening his hamstring and doing plenty of high speed work.

He's been playing football again for a couple of weeks now so will have his touch back and be used to playing football again.

The highest risk period of a hamstring reoccurring is in the two weeks after returning to training so I'd imagine that when the manager mentioned the intensity of the Leeds match he had that in mind.

Once he's ready to play though, I don't see how it will take four weeks to get back to where he was. Didn't the manager say in today's press conference that he's ready to play?

See above…because it is. This is received wisdom of rehab…recovery from injury, non-impact training, impact training, getting up to match fitness

Could be, mate. We'll see. Even if he's not ready to start, I'd be moving Le Fee inside now and give Aleksic or Poveda a start on the left, bringing Mundle on. If Mundle doesn't start this match I think he will at Sheffield.

I don't think we know what Mundle's recovery process has been, Boris, and there are different levels of hamstring tears in terms of seriousness and recovery time. Maybe Mundle's hamstring recovered a few backs and since then has done a lot of conditioning, strengthening and high intensity work. We'll see.

Please not Poveda!

I think he has potential, maybe he needs a match to show what he can do.

Either way, our team now reminds me of when England were playing Scholes on the left. Completely unbalanced and a waste of a quality footballer.

We know when he started impact training though as RLB confirmed it

Then there’s a couple where he must have been a bit deeper, classed as LM
