Title: Hause, Elphick, Chester fitness.
Post by: mike on April 11, 2019, 12:14:34 PM
Can't see any update on any of these, none were on the bench last night. I thought Hause and Tommy were back in training... did I imagine that?

Edited for auto correct balls up.

From memory, Elphick is training, Chester is running. No idea about Hause.

I wondered about this too, Chester seems to have been out for ages.

Looking back at the Pravda article, it actually said on 4/4 that Elphick and Chester were only back to light training and building up their fitness. Maybe he'll risk one of them in the circumstances. I can't see anything on Hause.

Hause could be contention for Sat according to Matt Maher at the E&S but he expects confirmation from Dean's press conference tomorrow.

The Meaning Evil reported he was to be assessed before last night's game, but obviously didn't make the squad. Hopefully he's close to a return for Saturday

Really need Hause back for Saturday. Tuanzebe is a natural right footed player, Kortney is a natural left footer. Much better balance if it happens.

I think Hause will be in, it sound like he was nearly fit for last night

Hope you're right as Hause would be my preferred replacement

Don’t quite know why I thought this was a big deal.

Think Jedinak surprised many.

Good news about Tommy, Tammy and Axel. I haven’t seen anything about Hause?

I’d go so far as to say he’s actually an ok-ish centre half when he plays in the right defence. Tony Gayle kept saying he looks too loose to be a defender yesterday, across his game, which is a good observation.

But we’ve seen this a few times in recent years - if you've got one really good CB you can afford one with pretty big gaps in their game. In hindsight he was playing with an injured and out of sorts Chester under Bruce at the start of the season.

It's nice that we've got players of that calibre to come back.

He is a number two centre half at best. As is Chester, in my opinion. Mings was mopping everything up behind him and was the one who brought the ball out of the back. Mile is a funny one though, a couple of great cross field passes, yet struggles to pass it 10 yards at times.

Mings was superb yesterday, so much confidence on the ball. Class.

Mile was helped yesterday by Millwall players persisting in running straight at him

So what is the story with Hause and Chester, are they likely to be fit for the play-off? A link to the article about them would be good if there is one...

Would say he is more of a stop gap option at CB really.  Yesterday summed him up at CB really, did well enough back there, but was too casual on occasions and we have seen in the past that can be very costly.  Would play Elphick against Leeds, but would hope one of Chester, Tuanzebe or Hause is fit for Norwich and the play offs.

Deano said Hause should be available for Leeds.
