CMS and Hoskins

[mccraque]

How far off are both of them from being fit? Did CMS come through his DS squad game with no adverse reactions? Are we realistically likely to see either or both sniffing around the 1st XI before season end?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Mackail-Smith should be back relatively soon.

No idea on Hoskins. Though as he has returned to training I would expect him to be available before the end of the season certainly.

maybe cms might be on bench on monday

 

[Box of Frogs]

CMS didn't play in the DS game on Monday because it was on a 3G pitch. Heard he was hoping to be available for Hull.

 

[Napper]

Based on nothing more than educated guesswork , I reckon we may see CMS on the bench for the first time Millwall (a) March 1st

Hoskins isnt full training yet is he ?

 

[hastings]

Hoskins back in a protective boot I think and comeback is currently hampered by the weather

 

[Springal]

CMS will play the DS game on Monday against Millwall I reckon, then if all good, we might start seeing him around the first team ?

Correct - I've heard the protective boot leaks.

Can someone kindly climb a tree and set up a web link so we can watch this 'behind closed doors' fixtures...

 

[Paris]

If everything goes according to plan we should consider sending either Hoskins or CMS out on loan for a month in order to get some game time. If i was them Sheffield United would be my preferred destination at the moment, for obvious reasons.

What time is the K.O ?

If Hoskins comes through 90 mins ok then must be a chance could see him make the bench on sat ?

You could watch from the pub or even just wander in by the porta-cabins

I don't know, the club site just says, behind closed doors friendly game at the Withdean today.

The pub is a good idea, although the fence could be a bit annoying, just need to know what time it is

Sometime this afternoon?

Hoskins travelled with the team to Bolton, so you could be right.

No this is CMS / Hoskins

Not that Hoskins / CMS splinter group, pah

What did the Romans U21 side ever do for us

Confirmation here >>

Craig Mackail-Smith and Will Hoskins will both line up for Brighton & Hove Albion's under-21s against AFC Bournemouth today in a behind-closed-doors friendly game at the Withdean Stadium.

The pair will play as overage players for Albion's development squad, as they continue to work towards a first-team return after missing the last year due to long-term injuries.

Hoskins completed his first full 90 minutes in over a year against Swansea City last week and travelled with the first team to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

Mackail-Smith made an initial return from an Achilles injury in January but a slight groin strain temporarily stalled his comeback.
