maaarsh Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Looking at his record, what exactly is wrong with him that Cardiff want to let him go and he would want to drop a league. Unless he's crocked hard to see how he's in reach for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 11 hours ago, Wanderlust said: Against Burton? Are Burton one of the top teams we struggled against last season that cost us promotion? No. they were one of the crap but physical teams we've struggled against on a garbage pitch in the past. Simply not representative of the games we struggle in that we're discussing. Derby might be one though. Burton is a place we have struggled. The game under Parky was as bad as it gets. The 3-1 night game when they scored 3 in about 10 minutes was spineless. Last season 1-1 we played well enough to have won easily. It is one point in last 3 games. A win here will leave us top of the league after 5 games. So important we start well as it won't take much for the memories of recent games there to people edgy/nervous. Their manager will know this and I imagine they will come out 'all guns blazing' . Hopefully our quality will see us through. Our last 3 games have been 3-0 at half time ! I think ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great attacking talent which probably fits with Evatts's style, but it makes no sense other than Cardiff think he's crocked or we're prepared to spend over a million on him or Shazza is doing personal favours for Vincent Tan. The lad probably needs hip surgery so it would be a massive gamble. Struggling to see it. We'd be better off reigniting the Baccus deal (just thought I'd chuck that in for the trolls ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but given that despite it's reoccurrence in such a short time frame, he does appear to be playing again which would be incredibly painful if it was a torn labrum cartilage which hadn't had surgery - impossible to play footie I'd have thought. If I had to guess, if he hadn't already had surgery on it it's probably muscular rather than cartilage e.g. hip flexor strain or tear - so that depends on the degree of injury to the muscle group. Only a serious tear would require surgery. The worry is the reoccurence as even when it gets better it would need to be managed very carefully forever, limit training intensity and require loads of warming up before actually playing. And maybe that's why Cardiff are willing to sell? Reading and Charlton also in the frame apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm just wondering if our remaining budget stretches to a bidding competition with Charlton and Reading anyway. Suppose they'll be selling the dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boltonboris Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Strange area to strengthen in, if it's true. Having 2 players compete for a position we don't use doesn't seem like a good use of scarce resources. Think we need another mobile number 8/4 type and a RWB to push Dacres-Cogley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could just see if he claims a regular starting spot by January and then offer a new contract - or not. A gamble, but if they really rate him, perhaps one they might be willing to take.
