GMS on Injuries

[danumdon]

Regardless of his position he's shown us nothing to suggest he's capable of playing at the level we require.  It's probably a loan option because nobody would take him permanently.

Shame really as when he first arrived (after being out on loan for a year) big things were envisaged for him, that it didn't take off could be a result of arriving in a team that was beat before it went on the field, coupled with him never seeming to be match fit due to injury or general conditioning( always looked like he could shed a stone to me)

When he did play it looked like he was better suited to a more attacking role be it a wing back in a five or a wide player.

Could get a chance if Knoyle is still not ready but it looks like his longer term future will be elsewhere. If we cant get a better full back than Knoyle on the money we are prepared to spend then i would keep him.

Any update on the injuries? Knoyle and Anderson being back I'm going all over 16/5 odds on us

He’s not a right back and never will be his defensive qualities are not up to standard. When he played at Maidstone he was always in an midfield attacking role. If Knoyles injury keeps him out for a while we need a better right back.

You are right Steve and I think Maidstone is his level too

Knoyle will be fine, he was at the Sheff Wed v Rochdale game. If his back was that bad he wouldn’t sit on a plastic chair for 90 mins.

Was he watching before a late move in the transfer window

Classic nervous Rovers take on it  Saw it on his Instagram story, he was cheering on Cameron John.

It was a joke, I just couldn’t be bothered to put an emoji

No news is good news, why give the opposition a heads up on who we have fit and available?!

Weren't Maidstone in league 2 then or am I mistaken?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yes, Shame about Seaman as he showed quite a bit of promise but would have to agree, he was usually a yard short when it came to defending, so if anything a more advanced position would probably suit him best.

Don't think his interrupted time so far has helped in either so maybe a fresh start would be best all round.

You're mistaken, Spud.

Maidstone haven't been in the EFL for a long time.

Heard you went to watch them in the EFL for your 60th.

Anderson out, others hopeful;

[Chris Black come back]

Not sure whether this is now happening but McSheffrey said Taylor and Close would play some part in the game against Newcastle u21s. You have to read between the lines, but doesn’t look from that like Close is there yet. Actually Taylor sounds like he’s not on an altogether straight recovery path either.

[steve@dcfd]

Just listened to Radio Sheffield GMC interview Taylor is the only one that is close there are two more doing their own programs on grass but are weeks away.
Knoyle and Long could be available for Saturday but will be checked tomorrow. So they could be ready or we are not letting anybody know if they are not.
Anderson seeing a specialist with his back next week.

[Chris Black come back]

Ah, I see. Looks like another set back for Close then. A week or so ago aim was the Newcastle game but sounds like October now then.

So Close is Schroedinger's Close? Both Close and not close at the same time?

Total confidence in playing Bobby from the start on Saturday by the sounds of it! Great for the lad & well deserved!

[Sammy Chung was King]

Bobby won’t let anybody down, whether that be centre back or right back. On Seaman you can’t write the guy off, he needs opportunities just as the others do. I wouldn’t say he’s a full back though, you could get away with him playing wing back.

Anderson was bound to have a few niggles, the condition he has flares up like that, and will have caused instabilities in other parts of the body. Close is as the song said ‘ Closer than Close!.

He must be really frustrated, I think most of us are, I just want to see him playing regularly for us. A really good player having a bad time at the minute.
The injuries are giving us an opportunity to look at some players, that might not have got games. It’s up to those players to make themselves first choice picks when others return.

[Padge_DRFC]

Faulkner looked decent Saturday. Hylton will be an experience for him mind.

[ncRover]

Long, Barlow and Taylor training with the group.

[steve@dcfd]

Andrews as returned to Birmingham with a tendinitis issue. We will here next week how he is.
Can the loan contract be cancelled if he’s going to be out for some time not saying I want it.

[Chris Black come back]

That is an issue actually given Griffiths has gone very quiet and there is nobody else who could replace Miller down the centre.

Griffiths was given months out though. I wouldn’t expect updates until he’s nearing his expected return date.

Agard

[Chris Black come back]

I guess that’s right. He always seems to drift out wide, but no reason he can’t play through the centre.
