Interview suggested Sow still has the same issue to manage, feels like he missed the surgery window now with no summer

[GaribaldiRED]

I clearly heard in the interview yesterday that SL said that all players were available except for En-Neyah.

Reading between the lines I suppose what it means is that all the players are available but at different levels of fitness.

It sounds as if Watson had a genuine injury and that it was nothing to do with contract issues which I would say is a positive.

I am sure he will play tomorrow.

[GaribaldiRED]

That would be my take on it as well. At least nobody is injured.

Sow trained all week. Sounds like hes another Ledley king to be honest and will just need to manage his injury as best as possible

Good news about McGuane Jock. 

Lets see how Sow goes. I doubt we'll see too much of him. Seems like it's the same problem over and over again with his knee.

[GaribaldiRED]

You are probably right although he has been able to rest it a bit during this COVID break. Maybe it will last for the remaining 9-12 games.

Largest Number of games sow has played concurrently per season

I guess this is due to the way he plays- he is explosive and aggressive so he’s likely to get knocks- he’s also a target to other teams too

shame- although if he was an ever-present style player he’d be playing at a higher level. This is the pond we fish in... ?

[GaribaldiRED]

He definitely has some injury concerns. It seems like he has played on average between 50-70% of the games per season. He has played 18 games this season which is bang on 50%. If he had been pushing 100% then I would agree with audiosmee that he would have been playing on a higher level.

So we can have 7 on the bench, make 5 changes but only 3 stoppages for changes are allowed. So 2 of the changes will have to be double substitutions. Is that right?
