RHM

[mr underhill]

The new Adama.

[Matt Collins]

This seems to happen with young very fast players I think

It is a concern

[brian green]

His style of play makes him vulnerable to injury.  He burrows into the situations where the skin and hair is flying.  Brave players get lots of knocks.  Yes Downing I am looking at you.

[passitsideways]

Eh, I'd rather have someone less brave who stays on the pitch than someone whose feats of bravery constantly lead him to the physio's table.

[brian green]

I have seen a lot of Villa players  over a a lot of years and I rate him. No more than that and no less.  It's not about bravery per se, it is about combativity.  Maybe he will make it.  Maybe he won't.

He need to get his body in fighting shape for football and need to be smarter in protecting himself. Perhaps he need to take up Martial Art to tough up his body and legs.

[brian green]

You could have a good point there SPA.  A player needs to learn to use a less breakable bit of his body to bunt an opponent.  Why stick in your foot with its breakable bones when you can use your arse.  See Carew, J.

[Toronto Villa]

His style of play makes him vulnerable to injury.  He burrows into the situations where the skin and hair is flying.  Brave players get lots of knocks.  Yes Downing I am looking at you.

Maybe he needs to be smarter, not just to have a long career but any career at all. I don't want my skill players throwing them into situations like you've described. I'd rather see the likes of Downing* or RHM setting up or scoring goals.

* off course I'd now like to see Downing on top of a pile of burning tires but my point remains

[brontebilly]

Badly needs a spell on loan somewhere to get first team football experience. Fairly pointless playing u23 games

[Matt Collins]

How much longer is he out? I don't think I've ever seen a clear statement

[Villafirst]

Bruce said he's got a thigh injury. Back in October I think.

[Villafirst]

Nearly November - where is RHM??

[mr underhill]

does he actually exist in real time?

[Des Little]

Bruce said he's got a thigh injury. Back in October I think.

2019?

[TheMalandro]

It must have been hard to diagnose. Perhaps, lupus or sarcoidosis.
