I've not had it but is long covid just like having a long holiday in the sunshine?Chris_from_Sidcup said:Regardless of whether he's been back for 2 weeks/2.5 weeks whatever, he's a professional footballer and must have a decent basic level of fitness. Ok he's had covid but if he's fit enough to train for 2 weeks, then he was surely fit enough to play for 15-20 minutes last night. Instead we're risking Stockley for 20 minutes.
I mentioned on the Schwartz thread that Man City played players in the community shield who had literally had 2-3 training sessions since returning from their summer holidays.
I haven't played 11 a side for about 15 years and i smoke and i reckon even i could do 15-20 minutes.3 -
Everybody totally guessing here. Nobody knows what the problem is or how serious it is. It is frustrating but let him and the club's medical team deal with it without putting extra pressure on them.1

Schwartz returning from long covid and not getting a run out was being compared to city players playing in the charity shield having only just returned from holiday and trained twice.

Has Ronnie's long covid been confirmed by the club, or is all this being based on a couple of players telling a random fan in the pub the story?0

I've seen nothing to confirm Schwartz was late back due to Covid?
Won't be surprised to see him leave before the window shuts0 -
It all started when fans saw a picture of the long face and assumed depression. Current rumours are that the long face was in fact long covid.1

Think you got whooshed honestly. The point being that they don't compare at all.redman said:

I don't think its been confirmed ANYWHERE that he has had Covid. We only found out that Gilbey had it because of his own tweets.
If only we had a comms team or a reporter thats not on holiday.............1 -
It's not been officially confirmed by the club, but there was a poster on here who said he'd spoken to a player that mentioned Schwartz had covid.golfaddick said:

I think all we know from the club (Adkins) is that Schwartz had 'personal issues'.0 -
Covid is a 'health' issue isn't it, from all the people I know who have had it I have never heard it referred too as a 'personal' issue.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I know a person who was hospitalised with covid in early jan, he was in hospital for a month. Since his release from hospital, he has had to learn to talk again. He hasn’t worked a day since before Christmas, is self employed and is in big financial trouble now. He struggles to walk up a flight of stairs and doesn’t know when he can work again.So in answer to your question, no. Long covid is not just like having a long holiday in the sunshine.0 -
Seriously, comparing having a bad experience with COVID to a summer holiday, scrap that barrel!

I was sarcastically asking if the two were similar as they were being compared.

I doubt that it is actually long covid; he is training afterall.
I reckon that he was granted extended leave for his wedding, and then caught covid at similar time...meaning that his agreed late start to pre season was pushed back even further. He joined the club well behind english football fitness levels, and has gone backwards with close season and a bout of covid0 -

Somebody at the game on Tuesday mentioned that Schwartz was looking sharp in the shooting practice at the open training session.0

It's funny some fans were saying he was awful, others were saying he looked decent. It shows the difference in stance at the moment, people are right now writing players off left, right and centre or they're blindly backing them.Crusty54 said:Somebody at the game on Tuesday mentioned that Schwartz was looking sharp in the shooting practice at the open training session.
I'm somewhere in the middle certainly leaning more to the latter, hoping and needing to give all the players a chance under a Manager that has been proven to improve the youth and progress them into the first team as well as improving players to enable them to progress up the leagues.
Same goes for the owner, I need to give him a chance to continue to prove he's better than the last two or three ownership groups.1 -
I wish I knew the definitive rule as to how many overage players can take part in U23 games.
As far as I can tell, due to the link Clive kindly sought out and posted, the first U23 game is on August 31st. I would hope to see Schwartz, Gilbey, Pearce and Watson in that game in order to try to sort out what’s what.
Additionally it would be nice to see a comprehensive U23 fixture list on the official site with dates, venues and kick off times.3
