Graham Potter and coaching staff: please learn from this.

Pretty sure GP said Reece was never going to play the full game pre match but why not throw him on for 25-30 mins at the end and play it safe? Just seems amateurish. 

Could still have got injured in those 25-30 minutes and then we'd say "why not give him another week to recover?" Probably they did the right thing and just got unlucky.

There is no such thing as unlucky, clearly its no coincidence someone who suffered a long term injury, only “recovered” recently got injured in their first game back. 

Perhaps yes he could of got injured in those 25-30 minutes but its also naive to assume throwing someone in after so long out and expecting them to play 65-70 minutes is a brilliant idea.

Presumably there is a science to recovery and 60 minutes was based on a likelihood of being injured being essentially negligible vs playing 45 or 30. I assume recovery is like a bell curve whereby there is a period in which you really must not play and then you reach a point where not playing is such diminishing returns there is essentially no point in waiting. At any rate, Potter does not seem the type to ignore medical advice and the club does not seem like the type to ignore science / medicine. I would imagine it is managed better than you are giving it credit, and it is no one's fault that Reece has a weak knee.

Did you see Thiago Silva straining his leg in the first half? Seems like some fucker has jinxed the club

Seems like every win has to come at the expense of an injury.

Let's just hope it isn't Paul Pogba's witch doctor. Last f*cker he put a voodoo curse on scored a hat trick in a world cup final and still lost.

Lets hope the medical team and manager let him fully recover this time…. seeing as we seem no closer to acquiring a decent back up RB to continue overloading with attacking players.

Doesn't seem vocal enough to be a captain but then again I always associate captains with that type of style, perhaps that's wrong. 

Absolute monster tonight, as Sterling was told to stay up the pitch in the second half he covered two positions and beasted a fresh legged tricky player to boot, held my breath for a moment when Bellingham fouled him in the last minute and his ankle looked to buckle on the replay.

Leadership is more than just about shouting and throwing your weight around else Neil Warnock would have become a world class coach.

His elite mentality sets the standards throughout the whole club.

Agreed, you could say the exact same about how Kova captained tonight. Led by example with a huge performance.

Still get the feeling there is more to come from him. Times where he makes it look easy but then there are times where it looks like he’s going through the motions. 

I do think he is a future captain here though, as mentioned above, leading by example is just as vital in a captain as shouting and being boisterous around the park. The being more vocal/talking through the game more often will come too.

To clarify, not leaning toward the Neil Warnock type of captain 🤣 I mean a JT type, if something is going wrong or someone needs a word then it’s done, we miss those personalities, not just in a captain, squad wide.

Reece isn’t that type of person, neither is Kova, just because he put in a monstrous performance it doesn’t warrant being in the mix, though Reece has time to develop, we see his personality on the field and off. Not a big deal and it’s no sleight on him, I’m not even sure we have someone in the squad at the moment who fits a mould, been spoilt over the years.

I think Enzo can become that, but he is not there yet

same for Wes Fofana (I know, I know, I am assuming he stays fit and gets back to pre injury form, which, I admit looks more possible now than at any time before)

I'm really concerned about Reece and Wez

and their constant injuries, Wez I didn't want here until he could prove he's not a crock, so far he has not.

Reece on the other hand I don't know, but he like Wez plays one game and get's injured.

He’ll have more cover next season with Malo Gusto being here can be rotated more and rested
