2025/26 Jack Grealish


Or, here's a thought, we play him when he's declared ready by the medical team and not based on the timescale some random lad on a fan forum decides

Generally speaking players are back just after a month.

Drogba took 2 weeks once!!

Depends on the extent of the injury but nevertheless on average Rohl should be on the pitch in the next fortnight.

Injury recovery for an individual isn't based on averages
The likelihood is he can play a few sub appearances in a fortnight's time. He's going to be on a recovery trajectory of between 4 and 7 weeks - from op to playing again.

That makes him a strong possibility for a Christmas appearance or two.

You'd think I was talking about dragging him off the operating table here.

You were 'insisting' as if it would be a poor choice if he didn't get those minutes. He might not if he's not ready, simple as that

He's 'on the grass'. That means he's in training again. Next stop the bench. We have 4 games in the next fortnight and Ild expect him to be getting game time in the last couple of those.

Honestly, these players are getting worked on by the very best physios - it's not like they're one of us if we have a hernia op: sent home with a weblink to a few stretching exercises and told to get on with it.

Dear me.

Expecting is fine, demanding it without knowing details is plain weird
 

Essentially saying, he should be played, had long enough to recover etc
Can't be bothered to find exact wording
You know yourself how you phrased it, ou don't need my help
That's not a demand.

I started it off by saying he was 'on the grass' and we cant be letting that period run into another month or so if he's at that stage.

If he's left out it'll be because King Herod Moyes has knocked back a young player getting his chance again.

It is a demand, because you would cast blame on Moyes if he isn't playing within your specified time frame, not the medical team's.
We heard Dyche say on the grass for players that were back a week later and many months later and everything in between. On the grass is not a definitive check point in terms of time remaining

….i posted during the match that i wasn’t keen on our CB taking a long throw to the other CB in the box. Very difficult to regroup and regain positions from a quick break. It’d be more understandable if O’Brien’s throws were effective but they carry little or no threat.
I don't really understand why we are persisting with this tbh.

Would make sense if we had someone who genuinely had the speed and trajectory, but they are slow and looping and don't seem to do much damage

Feel like we've hopped on the bandwagon without really doing any underlying analysis of why the bandwagon exists or what it's good for
