Injury Update?

Would you play him this season, if 'fit'?

IF we need him I would. We're not promoted yet, and there's a title to fight for.

If we need to win the last two for the title, and Murray or Hemed are out, and Baldock is able to play, of course you'd play him.

Duffy was still on crutches pre match vs Blackburn. No chance he'll be fit again this season

I maybe going loco but he didn't appear to have crutches for the Brum game

I'd play him.

If we go into next season reliant on Sam Baldock and his fitness, we might as well have not bothered this season.

 

[Springal]

Duffy is off crutches, but literally no point in playing him again this season

 

[Lush]

No need to risk Duffy so long as Dunk is fit.

That header from Matt Smith shows why we need at least one of them on the pitch, ideally.

FFS Duffy broke a tiny bone in his foot. It really isn't anything major. The sooner he is back the better.

 

[Triggaaar]

They will all want to play again this year but I'd hope Hughton has indicated that they can now put their feet up, especially Baldock whose niggles are getting a bit annoying. He could now have 4 months to get right instead of risking something getting aggravated and putting him in the phyios room for the first part of the summer.

So we give up on the title?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Is Baldock still out with hamstring issues? Haven't bothered with the Argus' updates.

I thought it was a reoccurence of the knee problem he had in January.

We have other players, who have won the last three games on the spin.

I'm not saying give up on the title, no, but having players come back in for a game or two when others have been performing? I'd question that.

That wasn't the question though. You asked 'would you play them?' The answer is surely 'yes, if we NEED to'.

How do you define NEED?

How do you define NEED?

We go into the last two matches needing two wins for the title. Hemed picks up a knock, and Baldock declares himself fit. The only other available striker is Akpom = NEED.

 

[maltaseagull]

Kayal is fine, think he was just rested on Friday. I doubt Duffy will play again this season and, according to the argus, Baldock won't be fit for Wolves.

I can see Baldock missing the rest of the season which is a real shame if correct.

Every week he seems close and then isn't in the squad.
Duffy was hoping for end of April .

NEED.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Hughton will want the title.
He won't rest players for next season and miss out on winning the championship.

Slightly off topic, Neil Warnock was on the wireless this morning singing our praises, he said we have the best team in the division but Newcastle have the best squad, he also said Sam Baldock has been the best striker in the division this season. Paging [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION]

He usually does praise us as I think that he possibly had a secret yearning to be our manager.

Not so secret. He has fessed up to that wish in the past.

I think you're right. To be fair to Warnock he's actually built himself a solid reputation as a must have manager if you are in a relegation battle.
