Zamora

[Munchkin]

Just don't get it I'm afraid....

Looked shattered last night, was sure Wilson was going to replace him after 25 minutes (as he went through quite an intensive warm up)

The bloke is 35 not 55, apparently rarely trains during the week and goes from running 90 yards to score a couple of weeks ago to struggling to sustain a run for 20 yards last night.

It's as if we have a striker in Wilson and Zamora combined at the moment.

I'll sit back and take the abuse but I'm just not sure what's wrong with Bobby in terms of his fitness ?

I have to agree Bobby Z was way off the pace last night.

 

[Albion Robster]

It looked like Bobby picked up an injury last night.
Signalled to be bench after 25 mins to say he was struggling. Wilson then sent out to do some warm up sprints.
Looked to be a hip or groin area.

 

[ChickenBaltiPie]

I don't think he's well

 

[Albion my Albion]

I think the length of a long season maybe weighing on BZ.

 

[symyjym]

Was he shattered or in pain?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

He explained it himself in an interview the other week. Unable to train quite often, frustrated at his body letting him down. I'm sure someone can find it.

My only problem with him starting is that it is burning a sub straight away. Even when fully fit by his standard, he needs changing around 30 minutes. Fine if you have no injuries but limits tactical subs later on when there is an injury. Fairly sure Kaz would have come on late on if Kayal hadn't got injured. Although Murphy did the honours, the slow, high line Brentford defence was crying out for Kaz to run at them for the last 15 minutes and we may well of killed them off sooner if we hadn't been down to two subs and used one for shoring up and one for an injury.

Yes, Bobby was well off the pace last night, but I'm not surprised, and think that's going to happen from time to time. The guy is 35 now, and in footballing terms, his legs are very tired, He has played a lot of minutes lately, and as Chris Hughton himself says, his game time needs to be closely managed in order to get the most out of him.

I think there was also a bit of an injury worry too, that's why he didn't start the second half.

 

[Albion my Albion]

My mrs says I'm always a bit of an injury worry at 54 without running up and down, sometimes with pace, a football pitch.

 

[Soulman]

His body is not up to it anymore, he does not train and is retiring at the end of the season. Any goals, lay offs and holding the ball up is great, the club know how and when to use him.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

BZ's goals are priceless to us. You can't teach that instinctive positional play and eye for goal. He's always going to play a cameo role from here on in. But WHAT a cameo role! Wouldn't be at all surprised if he fired in the goal that took us finally into the Premier League.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Even a few of Bobby's most fervent fans around us noticed his touch and hold-up play was a little awry last evening. Hopefully simply down to a short term injury/illness.

Not sure it was injury related as he was breathing quite heavily earlier on in the game last night.

 

[Grombleton]

The commentator on the stream mentioned that he was struggling and looked like he may be coming off early (around the half hour mark I think). Sure I heard something about a calf injury.

 

[Murray 17]

He took a knock early on - I saw him grimace. Probably from Barbet who was shoving him, grabbing him and using any other cheating method. A fit Zamora would have finished that chance that he had when the defender just got back in time.

Nail on head for me.

Would rather have him as an option on the bench and can come on if need be. His early substitution early in the game limited our options from the bench yesterday. If it was an injury issue rather than a fitness one then that's a different story, but it looked like fatigue last night, which isn't great after 25 mins !

Barbet OUT!

 

[The Wizard]

He had a bad game Jesus Christ. You do realise all players have bad games, they are humans not robots.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

8 days rest and then 4 games in 11 days.

Cotton wool wrapping for BZ.

Hopefully we'll bring in someone like Mr Murray to share the load after that.

Barbet OUT!

[emoji2] When I typed his name originally it did auto-correct to Barber!
