Team for Forest

[Wisemen say]

So why risk Pearson if he is not 100% fit? If he does more damage to himself, the chances of getting as many points as we can to distance ourselves from the bottom three will diminish.

I never said play Pearson if he is not 100%, but if you read what AN has said, Pearson has been playing with a thigh strain for a number of weeks so not 100% fit, so if the manager thinks he can play then play him, who can say when or if he will breakdown and be out for longer ?

We can't persevere with a keeper who has hands and legs like saloon doors.

Well the other one has about two brain cells so we don't exactly have a good choice.

The way things are going we could have a couple of youth team players who played extra time and penalties during the week turning out at Forest, way things are going with the goalies Corcoran could be one of them.

No Pearson today me thinks.

I hope you’ll be surprised.

No Pearson today me thinks.

They said he’s had been playing with the injury for a number of weeks, but didn’t play last week as we’d had 3 games in a week. So you would think he will play if what’s been said about his injury is correct.

And I never said that you said play Pearson if he is not 100% fit.

However, the tone of your post hinted at getting as many points as possible as quickly as possible and that, and the fact that you appear to support playing our best player if not 100% fit is what I disagree with.


Playing Maguire when not fully fit should be enough to prove that point. Another player down today with an apparent hamstring injury......something has to be wrong with the clubs medical staff or the mode of training for all these similar injuries to be occurring...……...yet you are still apparently in favour of playing our number 1 guy even if not 100% fit? Madness!

Obviously AN did not believe Pearson was fit enough to play yesterday and that was the correct decision, read back, our Manager has stated that Pearson has been playing with an injury for a number of weeks, the Manager has believed that Pearson has been able to play and manage the injury, if the Manger makes that decision then that is his decision as he deems him fit to play.
We played DJ yesterday, again the Managers decision, returning from injury much sooner than expected and with very little training, yet our manager again thought he could play and get through the game, a decision that helped the team put in a battling performance and gain a much needed 3 points, which moves us that bit further away from the relegation positions.
Our Manager, his backroom team and medical team will be making calculated decisions on which players can get us through games at this difficult period and accumulate as many points as possible, at present I will stick with their professional decisions.

Of course, we have to accept managerial and medical decisions, one would accept that they clearly should know best, except that our players are going down like flies, and several of them with similar injuries...……..I just hope that we are not so desperate for points that players are being played when they should be rested.....that is all I am saying.

Agreed, but that is possibly the case and I would imagine will be the case with our injury back log. We are not probably unique in doing so, I know you do not hear it as much now, but in the past you used to hear about players playing through the pain barrier with pain killing injections!
