Do hope this is because they're ready to come back and not because Luzon feels that he has to throw them in to save his job... Especially as today he says that Makienok is back yet on Tuesday after the match he said that he'd be on the bench on Saturday as he still wasn't quite ready.
Now though he has to perform... For the last two months the fans have been ready to accept that the problems on the pitch have been down to injuries, now if those players back and the performances dont improve...2 -
Fit enough to be subs, so fit enough for some part of the game then. Never put an injured player on the bench.5

Hendo
Solly
Bauer
Sarr
Fox
JBG
Jacko (Ba when Jacko runs out of steam)
Cousins
Moussa
Watt
Makienok4 -
This sentence surely contradicts itself:
"Reza will come back – we’re really positive because in football you need the tools and the quality in the squad."

According to the physio report that was on the main site yesterday none of them it seemed to imply would be fit for 90 mins on Sat and have to be nursed back and now Guy is saying that 5 of them can play on Sat. Smells a bit of desperation from Guy to me12

If we had a proper squad that was sufficiently equipped to cope with injuries then I doubt they'd even be on the bench.Addictforlife said:According to the physio report that was on the main site yesterday none of them it seemed to imply would be fit for 90 mins on Sat and have to be nursed back and now Guy is saying that 5 of them can play on Sat.

His job on the line so I don't blame him. Maybe he has decided that the nearly readys will play half a game each.Addictforlife said:According to the physio report that was on the main site yesterday none of them it seemed to imply would be fit for 90 mins on Sat and have to be nursed back and now Guy is saying that 5 of them can play on Sat.

Big Mak for example was probably deemed 4 days ago as able to play just 30 minutes. Saturday he could probably get in an hour.Addictforlife said:According to the physio report that was on the main site yesterday none of them it seemed to imply would be fit for 90 mins on Sat and have to be nursed back and now Guy is saying that 5 of them can play on Sat.

I also suspect that after the side he put out and the result the manager has been 'advised' that he needs to do everything to get more fans to turn up and promising players back might just help.
I don't know what happens if he plays them and we still lose 3-0?2 -

AT least he realises the seriousness of the situation. Henderson to start and an hour of Mak will be a huge boost2

..a huge increase in investment in the squad from RD?WSS said:5 -
Translates as:
"The fans are on my back due to rubbish team selection/tactics and substitutions, so I will use unfit players and rush them back - because when their injuries flare up in a few weeks time I will already have been binned and it will be someone else's problem."
Not his fault that RD made us have a small squad and won't pay for loan players - but his tactics are crap and I doubt he has any connections in the English game to bring in some decent loanees.
Guy will be gone by bonfire night.3 -
He obviously read the physio update as well then.NewsShopperSport said:1 - Sponsored links:

My immediate thoughts too.... At least he's giving his replacement an excuse when they're all crocked for the next two months afterwards...ForeverAddickted said:Do hope this is because they're ready to come back and not because Luzon feels that he has to throw them in to save his job... .

I would suggest that he STARTS his strongest team and then subs out if they start running out of steam. Not what he did on Tuesday which was ludicrous. Elementary, to me anyway.1

Put Tuesday night to one side - let's consider it to be the demoralised culmination of going two months without a win.Valiantphil said:Translates as:

What would you have expected us to have achieved over the last two months? No Henderson - we didn't win for 3 months without him last season. Ahearne-Grant starting matches due to the absence of Makienok and Vetokele - I thought he'd be getting loaned out in League 1/2 to pick up some experience. Kashi injured - one of the best performers at the start of the season.
Bergdich looks like a lousy signing, as does Ba. The side we have been putting out for the last few weeks looks, on paper, like a bottom 3 side to me.
Luzon's tactics looked alright to me last season, when Katrien and Roland had a little panic and allowed us to sign Watt, Eagles and Johnson, so that he had a thin, rather than non-existant squad to choose from.
"I doubt he has any connections in the English game to bring in some decent loanees."
He's got nothing to do with player recruitment, ze Netvork deals with that.
Not saying he's a great manager - he's probably not. You can't judge someone fairly without giving them appropriate tools to work with though.3 -

We were bottom of the table when Riga took over - results improved with almost the same squad (as I recall).0 -
Werent we towards the bottom when Luzon took over as well?Valiantphil said:Not saying he's a great manager - he's probably not. You can't judge someone fairly without giving them appropriate tools to work with though.

How many places did we rise when Luzon took over compared to Riga's rise?3 -

last 28 league games - 10 wins, 7 draws, 11 loses (5 of those in the last 6 with multiple injuries)3 -
We had 5 games in hand on a number of our rivals when Riga took over. Bottom of the table was a false position.Valiantphil said:Not saying he's a great manager - he's probably not. You can't judge someone fairly without giving them appropriate tools to work with though.

We were bottom of the table when Riga took over - results improved with almost the same squad (as I recall).
But at one stage we did have up to 5 games in hand.
Also Riga managed his thin squad by playing his strongest team for the games we were most likely to win - and resting players in games against difficult opposition.

He mentions Jackson and Moussa, but both of them STARTED last Saturday against Reading. Indeed that team, with both Bauer and JBG in it, looked considerably stronger than the one we put out midweek.
Maybe he should have held back Jackson and Moussa for the Preston game, which was always going to be the better chance of a win?2 -
