Agree with this. But if we can get an hour out of him, he can have a couple of weeks to recover.
Yes, under normal circumstances I suspect Pervis would have been pencilled in for 20-25 mins V Spurs and half a game V West Ham.
What's the difference between starting and coming on later? It could be better to start him then replace him when he's out of steam, than bring him on and then have to replace the sub.
Match sharpness is usually what I interpret “not fit enough to start”. By that, coming on after 60/70 mins when everyone else is already a bit tired and he is at a similar level. Starting a player who has 20/30 mins in the tank against fully fit opponents seems much riskier in my Opinion.
Bart in goal, Steele at CB.
Bearing in mind that the reverse fixture in August saw Webster have IMO his worst ever match for BHA I'd say this is not the match for him to return in.......
There are those on here who who tell you he doesn't get his hands on much anyway. Personally I'm a fan
The lad is getting booted from pillar to post. He's had no protection at all. Agree his hold up play needs work, i'd also like to see him spin and run in behind more often
What's your logic here?
I might have imagined it, but I am sure he won us a penalty on Thursday.
Because Webster hasn't played in over 2 months, is notorious for needing matches to get back to 100% and had an absolute mare against this oppo in the reverse fixture. It would also likely mean JPvH having to play on the left.
You're absolutely right, but with his back to goal and defenders up close he struggles. Given a yard to turn, and a chance to get on the front foot he seems to do more damage(like get a shot away or win a penalty).
ignore me
