[Albion] Locadia Today

#NeverWrong.

Never a relevant or sensible post but we can live in hope.

Esp as it hasn't happened in the past.

 

[samtheseagull]

ok he was still on the pitch when it happened but my point stands that in order to prevent the possibility of it happening could the grass be extended to the wall?

Mate just admit you was wrong ffs.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Yesterday was the first time he has ever been close to convincing me that he can play as a central striker. Hope he recovers soon.

You're new here, aren't you?

 

[BensGrandad]

what I said and stand by is that from WSL it LOOKED like it was on the edge of the grass, hence my suggestion.

 

[R. Slicker]

I hate to spoil all of your Sunday afternoon fun, but in fairness to BG, the BT commentator did state at the time that Locadia caught his studs in the AstroTurf just off the pitch.
No idea if he was correct or not.

What I noticed was the divot that flew up as Locadia landed and then jerked up his foot. My concern would be that the ground was not stable and his studs were unable to plant in the ground, lock and support his ankle.

 

[Is it PotG?]

We were in close proximity. Although I'd had a couple of drinks, I would be 99% certain he went over well inside the pitch boundary, then hobbled along a bit to reach the sanctity and squidgy comfort of the astro.

Really seized his big opportunity. Absolutely ran himself into the ground and looked worth every penny of the £14 million we spent on him. Think he is really going to kick on from here.

I will not be reading replies to this thread.

All w/o committing a foul

 

[BensGrandad]

My suggestion was only really about making sure such an injury couldnt occur in the future whether or not that was the cause of Locadia's injury.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Maybe some form of moat, water circumnavigating the playing area would prevent an injury such as was suffered yesterday.

With a, drawbridge for those wishing to leave the pitch. Medieval wrenches serving ale, at the bars . I think we have, something there.

Ball pool or crash mats. Simple.

Interesting that after more than a year with us, the Jury is still out for the majority re: Locadia. Does that mean he’s not quite got what it takes to cut it in the PL? Or will he be the perfect replacement for Murray in the long run?

 

[dazzer6666]

I accept that but as I said from WSL it looked to be on the edge of the grass hence my suggestion that the grass could possibly be extended so as to be 100 % sure that it could not happen in the future.

Apologies from me @BG - watched it again, you were right, his collapsing foot was on the astro, not the grass...........

Q.E.D. Moat instead of astro….no rolled ankle.

Jury's not out with me, quality player.
