JOC OUT

[Digger]

We've been very lucky with regards to injuries and suspensions thiis season and let's face it, we should be able to cope without JOC . Enda is very capable there, it's who to play at LWB that's the issue. I'd go with Dowell but if it's Johnson then I'm sure we will be fine, honestly...yeah, well....

I surmised from the way Wilder handled the question in his pre match interview that JOC and Duffy would be out for this game at least. Could still be wrong on Duffy, but he didn’t sound confident and struggled to hide it, at least that’s how I heard it.

Interesting, I felt completely the opposite – like he knew they’d be available but was hardly going to give the opposition a heads-up on that point.

Anyone would think we are on a bad run of form & with no capable stand ins should we have a injury or two. According to Sky Duffy is confirmed as not fit but nothing on JOC yet, & as CW is happy with the squad he has I am perfectly happy for him to pick whatever team he sees fit today & let him, you know, manage.

In all fairness to Johnson he is a Winger, not a full back. So asking him to play LWB at the top end of the championship is only going to have one outcome

 

[Guesty]

Think that was more specific to his games at home. He gave us one of our best away moments of last season off the bench at Carrow Road.

Fair enough, I'll take your word on that!

Not for me, there was a noticeable pause and then it was answered with we’ll give them every opportunity, then he got kite on when pressed about it. Rather than a simple yeah they’re available.

We’ll see whose hunch was right in about and hour and a half !

Is it usual to get injured players who live a couple of hours away in for light training on a Saturday? If he's got a leg injury, what light training is he doing that he couldn't do in a local gym?

 

[Davalon]

Injuries part and parcel, we've done well this season compared to some.

JOC is obviously a key player for us but we did well without him a number of weeks ago. I'm not a fan of Johnson but one reason we've done better this season is more strength in depth.

No good bemoaning bad luck, we've not got an injury crisis ffs.

Chorley awash with Blades. C'mon you RAWW.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Crisis?

It’s a good job we aren’t completely overreacting

We had to play Regan Slater last year

 

[JohnDenver]

Did Big Jack say anything else or just randomly passing out JOC updates?

He’s doing tips for the National.

When Johnson has started a game I don't recall him having a bad game. It's the cameos he struggles with.

He started against Barnet and was a waste of space along with Sophie Webster's boyfriend.

Johnson on the pitch is an accident waiting to happen today and anyday in the future,why cant he have done his hamstring or achilles,it always falls on our better players like Duffy and JOC.

Cue Johnson having a great game today.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Look on the bright side, Fulham away is always a good day out & Huddersfield at home will be a decent crowd and atmosphere.

Yeah, he said Wilder is wanker and he’s leaving in the summer.

Yeah because the other 10 (12) were much better that day weren't they.

You made a statement that Johnson had played ok when he had started,i pointed out he had not,against Barnet..................and yes the whole team was crap that day.


Wilder has had an epifanny he has left out Johnson out from the whole squad today.

 

[LJBlade]

We had to play Regan Slater last year

And?

One player being out, regardless of who it is, is not a crisis.

 

[Snowman]

I’m entitled to a knee jerk now I’m too old for a trembler. if I had my way I would dump Johnson 200 miles away with 30 mins to kickoff just in case he tried to sneak on the pitch.

 

[allypallyblade]

If true, and if Duffy is fit, i'd put Dowell at LWB rather than Johnson.

Still, in CWAK we trust...

Correct

 

[Champagneblade]

What's 'I'll Fortune'? Reading it in the context of your post it's, at best, puzzling, at worst it's completely meaningless.

Some help would be appreciated.

Good old autocorrect, ill fortune. Misfortune. Bad luck etc.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

UP at Shirecliffe big Jack up here going through his light training says he's out for another week at least.

I did tell you.
