Baldock had a calf issue after Rotherham game as Hughton explains in Argus here

The last update on bong's fitness was again in an interview with Highton last week in argus
http://m.theargus.co.uk/sport/14251085.Calderon_in_line_for_another_left_back_call/

No doubt more on Bong fitness and others when this mornings press conference is written up

Thanks I missed the GB write up... this sounds very positive:

"Gaetan and Liam will be quite close. I think they will be fairly close to coming into the game on the Saturday. We won’t be too far away and we still have Calde who has come in and performed well for us in that position.

Left-back is not one we are overly concerned about but there might just be that little gap.”

 

[NooBHA]

But did he look like a left back?

More importantly, did he fear for his job and in particular losing it to JLoyd Samuel or Ashley Cole

 

[dwayne]

Still convinced baldock is gonna be sent out on loan when we get a striker and thats why he's not playing.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Would love him to be on the bench on Saturday, and then all the left back angst can disappear.

That's the same angst I had in Year Four.

Why can't he simply be not fit enough.

Why does it always have to be a conspiracy.

This sounds like 'calde vs Bolton, Bong back after that'.

This sounds like 'calde vs Bolton, Bong back after that'.

The Saturday being referred to is the Cardiff match.

But this description of being 'close' is worrying.

Kaz was 'close' for many, many weeks.

Baldock has been 'close' for a few.


'Close' could well indicate April on past usage.

But it covers both of Rosenior and Bong. Hopefully one of them will be fit enough to be involved at Cardiff.

Have I missed something or has Ridgewell gone back?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Have I missed something or has Ridgewell gone back?

Last day is 13/2. He asked to get loan extended but MLS said "no."

But Ridgewell is already set to miss the first three weeks of Timbers preseason training and it is unclear whether the Timbers would be open to allowing Ridgewell to stay in England even longer. The MLS regular season begins on March 6.

 

[Machiavelli]

Have I missed something or has Ridgewell gone back?

You haven't. Ridgewell goes back after Bolton. CH has already indicated that Calde is likely to play against Hull, with the possibility of Bong (and even Rosenoir) back to play Cardiff. All in Argus article (last Friday?), posted earlier in this thread by [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION]

It doesn't ever seem to be straight forward with our injuries. Close, still close, a little closer.... Other teams seem to give a time frame and then the player is ready. Anyone else think that?

Are you expecting good positive news on Bong and Rosenior after the press conference or more "hopeful" quotes?

With my glass half full hat on you know which way I am leaning

Calde will be called on for better or for worse IMO

Is the last bit true though? I don't follow other teams' injuries in close enough detail to know whether clubs are being more vague now about timescales or if it is just us. It might be annoying to us but I think the club are right to do it that way (so the opposition don't know).

Who says otherwise ? Not Hughton.

Thanks, thought that was the case. Couldn't understand why some were suggesting Calde will fill in at left back on saturday!!!

It's not ideal is it? Hey ho he'll probably be MOM now I've said that. Hope so

No further news on the injured players?

 

[sparkie]

It seems Rosenior has started full training, and Bong is a few days away.

 

[Sweeney Todd]

Such is the (apparent) conspiracy of silence about injured players that my questions about them on Ask The Club are never answered.

I'd play him ahead of Ridgewell. There. I've said it.
