Re: Who the hell asked the captain
I think it’s still the shoulder, as he looked good before the injury

Re: Who the hell asked the captain
It was important to get him back early because we were going to be a top 4 team

Re: Who the hell asked the captain
He's not right. What's the point in playing him ?

Re: Who the hell asked the captain
Yep.
Unfortunately Lyon has form in this regard. Version 1.0 preferred to play guys that were hampered or well below their best ahead of those pushing for opportunity.
Steele was in great form pre-injury and has been well down and obviously hampered since he’s been back. I’d have preferred to take an L or two if it meant letting Bytel, Windhager etc get a few full games in to reward their hard work and form rather than take those same losses with Steele down and Bytel playing 2 last quarters.
We’ve gained nothing from that beyond pbly lowering the confidence of all three players.
Then you note that Wood is playing with a bung shoulder and has been down, Marshall looks hampered with a foot etc and concerns about running players into the ground whilst starving others from opportunity reemerge
My hope is that RTB will be a little bolder and daring in team selection this time round

Re: Who the hell asked the captain
Just a reminder to those of you with recency bias.
Jack Steele started the year in excellent form.

Re: Who the hell asked the captain
So last year when Steele doesn't play to his usual standard post-shoulder injury that's due to the injury, but this year when he doesn't play to his usual standard post-collarbone injury that's because Ross told him to lose a few kilos. Righto.

Re: Who the hell asked the captain
Midfielders across the whole league have lightened off to improve running, even Vets like Pendelbry. Harves even did it at different times after getting too heavy.
He returns from a shoulder in 4 weeks ( clearly cant injure it more) but to get back to full strength and mobility will take longer.
Or he just had a bad game?

A poster asked a question. I answered it.
