I dare say we have enough cover for Younger, but if Rowe is a long term absentee we really need to dip into Januarys pot for a replacement

Could someone explain to a long time exiled Luddite who the ‘Netto Brigade’ are  :blush:

They are the lynch mob who blamed Gavin and the board for last season, claiming that Gavin shopped at Netto
Funnily enough they’d have fitted right in at Valley Parade as their funny little scarves were the same colours as Bradfords

so they have an insight into confidential club medical matters?

Why of course they do. All seeing all knowing aren't they.

Genuinely may have to change tactics with what's available if Rowe is out for a while and go 3 5 2. Our full backs looked the only 2 players capable of keeping the ball for more than 5 seconds on Saturday so get them more involved attacking wise.

Where is the "Netto Brigade" 's platform?
Just wondered where this has come from?

Don't know anything about either of them and if a rumour comes from the cited source, then it is less than credible. However, we know the usual score and Rowe apparently having a sore neck from sleeping would fit into the first step:

1. Nominally relatively minor injury
2. “Back by end of month”
3. Total silence for weeks on end
4. Out for season

Do you have that list saved ready to use or is it just memorised? Was slightly amusing the first couple of times I read it but getting a bit old now after the 19th or 20th.
Title: Re: Younger and Rowe
Post by: steve@dcfd on August 03, 2022, 10:11:14 pm
I’ll give you this list which is certainly not amusing
Taylor Close Okenabirhie now left John now left
Anderson hopefully recovered Knoyle hopefully recovered Molyneux 2/3 weeks Barlow not heard when ready Griffiths could be out 2 months now the ?? Marks Younger and Rowe.
So if right 7 players injured and recovering and we hope that Anderson and Knoyle continue to play.

Just read the tweets it says Younger is a serious injury and will be out some time.

Another tweet talks about Tommy Rowe they’ve heard something but won’t publish it but could be out some time if true.

Knoyle started on Saturday so not sure why he’s still being included?

Post by: Colin C No.3 on August 03, 2022, 10:46:24 pm
Could be, might be, what if.

Social media, the platform that gives us the ‘inside view’ to the latest ‘inside news’:-

“My girlfriend right, well she knows someone in the club whose name she can’t remember but she thinks begins with an ‘A’, overheard talking on the bus by Mrs Beattie of No.10 Claxhorn Road who was once a babysitter, apparently, of one of Tommy Rowe’s kids who told her, & ‘A’ backs this up, that Tommy is out for the season after tripping over one of his kids footballs in the garden. He’s a bit clumsy that way ‘they’ reckon so must be true….stands to reason dunnit”.

They were right about Tomlin training with us to be fair.

A long term injury for Tommy Rowe would be disastrous. I couldn’t take it

Simple muscle spasm in his neck would be a week or 2.

A trapped nerve in his neck could be a month or 2.

He’s not included in the 7 possibly that are injured/recovering now. I said hope Anderson and Knoyle continue to play but they have just come back from recovery.
I wish they were all available and could play but without them our squad is weaker and especially in the creative and forward areas.

What ever is the truth we will be told eventually.
In the article in free press we can only bring young loan players in unless some of the fridge players go. It would have to be done at the same time as the squad is just big enough to operate we can’t be losing a fringe player or players without replacements straight away

Awful news on Ollie Younger, really feel for him as he’d had a decent pre season with lots of game time.

More encouraging news on Rowe, who trained with the squad today and could be in contention for Saturday.

Weren’t we told he’d be out for a month about two weeks ago? Not sure what further update there would be to give at this stage.

He slipped on turf last Thursday at full stretch and damaged his hamstring and groin. He’s got to have surgery and will be out at least 4 months .

He’ll need plenty of ice packs for that.

Barlow ruining in straight lines so he’s starting his recovery.
Title: Re: Younger and Rowe
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on August 04, 2022, 05:28:35 pm
These injuries happen in all manner of ways. Other than wrapping the players up in cotton wool, it's impossible to prevent them all.

Of course, for the muscle tear injuries, there's questions about conditioning and preparation, which I'm sure they've asked themselves, but it seems the modern day footballers are wound up like tight springs that can go pop at anytime.

You wonder whether the old fashioned diet of steak and Guiness would serve them better than the modern day 'healthy' diet.

Seriously, we just don't seem to have much luck. Better news on Rowe and Anderson plus Knoyle back perhaps sooner than expected.
