2020/21 Mason Holgate

I assume none of you have ever stubbed your little toe on the corner of the sofa?

accidentally ticked a half brick once after someone left it poking out of a field that we was having a kick around on, the pain was considerable and the bruise basically turned my toe black for a couple of weeks

Are metatarsal's not considered part of the toe though?

Fair enough if its metatarsal damage but even a broken toe shouldn't keep you out for upto 12 weeks really.

Broke my metatarsal, was wrecked for ages and then earlier on this year it broke again for literally no reason.

Puma Kings! Now you're talking. Every centre half's best friend. Absolutely essential for leathering objects/people around the place. Still my favourite boot.

Puma King Eusebio worth an extra five goals a season.

I hope that the current injury problems at the back don't mean he's rushed back. He needs to be fully recovered or he might end up damaging it again. When fully fit he will allow us to hold a higher line. Mina and Keane seem like they are getting a better understanding but I still think they are too slow together to make a partnership.

We’ve got 3 fit CB’s so don’t see him being rushed at all.

Yeah but Godfrey is having to cover right back so he can't play CB if Keane or Mina get injured if he's already playing right back.

Kenny back next week.

That should help then.

Any word on when Mason is back?

Any word on when Mason is back?

hopefully very soon, he should make us more solid, cant keep conceding the amount we are at present.

I’m not sure Keane and Mina are that much to blame. The second yesterday looked a shambles from everyone and then there was Mina’s flick to Salah and his backing off against West Brom. Other than that though we’ve looked ok most games. Holgate would probably be better positionally at right back until Coleman came back but it would be harsh to drop Mina.

They've not been awful but they haven't really looked solid either. Sometimes strikers just don't get a kick even when their midfield is on top because they're so well marshalled by the centre halves. I haven't really felt we've done that at any point this season though. They've sort of looked OK in a general sense but I think both of them are too easily isolated and Mina especially is prone to going walkabout and leaving gaps to be exploited.

personally never been sold on mina, he has the odd great game but so inconsistent.
koeman should do the honourable thing and activate his buy back clause!

Brainthwaite should also be back in full training next week.

Gives us another option if needed.
