What was the story with Helenius? Must have missed it.

He was very ill/depressed and thought he was going to die so was allowed to go back home to Denmark I think.

Yeah, it sounded bad and he's not exactly hit the ground running back at Aalborg. He might not be 100% yet. But good luck to him.

I think this is Bomb Squad II . Lambert has form / previous in this area.

I would be massively fucked off if Okore isn't being given playing time and is considering his options. He came to the club at a time things truly looked like they might be turning for the better and his absence is being to reflect all that has gone wrong. It's one thing if we were winning games, or simply conceding only a few goals. He'd be in a tough position because the defence was doing so well. It couldn't be any more the reverse and he is clearly now fit and needs games. I accept he shouldn't be rushed back but we seem to be well past that stage and he needs to be given his opportunity.

d) We have a manager who isn't much cop and makes baffling decisions.

e) He has been shite in training and doesn't deserve a place?

Just a thought like.

It's possible I suppose.

It must be that.

Yep, it's not as if we have previous form for opting to pretend players don't exist rather than use them, is it?

Oh ...

;-)

Appears we have another dud to add to the ever growing list - Luna Tonev Bennett kea Helenius Sylla etc etc etc

[Ron Manager]

It's one of those where I can't see a positive reason for him not being involved. Earlier in the season we could put it down to not being rushed back and eased back in after a serious injury.

Now, the options are (unless I've missed any):

a) he's not as good as we thought and/or not performing well in training, meaning all the others are being picked over him on merit
b) he has some sort of personal issue (a la Helenius) which means he is not being picked
c) he has had a falling out with management and he is out in the cold

None of which bode particularly well for his future with us.

I suggested both a and c a few weeks ago and got roundly condemmed for my views by a couple of posters. One thing we can all agree on,I think, is that something is wrong and this something needs to be sorted out  as a matter of urgency.
If he is not in the team or on the bench for our next match Lamberts words re Okore will begin to look a bit hollow wouldnt you agree?

[silhillvilla]

It's looking like option c ) to me.
The next likely move is he will be reinstated around Feb 15 and Made captain.

No he'll break down again and be given a new four year contract.
