Major Isewater Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Our points return since the last international break has been very poor and for me it coincides with a drop in form from Andi Supermann. Last week’s match was his first goal for about 15 games but I noticed his all round play was back to his usual level. Then v Watford he was everywhere and unlucky not to score. He is a key player and when he’s off it the team struggle. Thank Bob that Austria didn’t qualify for the Fraud Cup because he can rest and drive us on to a top half , top six? , finish. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have been quite so bad if he was an isolated example. For some reason several players had a dip in form. Conway and Scott are understandable as youngsters you expect some inconsistency, the former had the euphoria and publicity of Young Player of the Month, the latter had an intense summer when most were getting a rest. Sykes I think has a lot on his plate, a step up in class and learning a new position, and Semenyo understandably with one eye on the World Cup. Conway and Scott have come through there's as well, but this time I am hoping the International break will be a welcome distraction rather than the annoying interference that it was last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 He picked up a knock in the game against France didn't he? Played with heavy strapping during this "dip in form". He was never going to score 23 goals again this season, but honestly he's been playing brilliantly in every position recently. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt Andi is a key player for us but i do feel irrespective of him getting back in form it’s going to take a hell of a lot more than just that to get us in the top 6 IMO - our problems run deeper than just that. I still think lower mid table should be the aim with anything in the top half being the absolute ceiling of this squad. Anywhere from about 17th - 12th is where i see us ending up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what this league is like, there is 7 points between us and Millwall, in fact there is only 9 points between 23 and 6th and we are not even halfway through the season yet. I think this break is great for us, a chance to get some a break and hopefully get Naismith and Kalas fit too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I think it's a cost of living/inflation thing but I keep seeing Aldi Weimann when I see his name. Maybe it's because we've got him for half what we were initially paying him. It's not heating or eating for me (eating, every time), so much as Asda or Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GeorgeT_UK Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 No Weimann in the squad for Austria. Supposedly diagnosed with a "strained inner ligament" after being hit on the knee during their friendly against Andorra Not confirmed by City, nor has Rangnick given an update on how long he's expected to be sidelined, but on average these injuries can keep players out for approx 6 weeks... perhaps not returning until the New Year. Four fixtures between now and then for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 There have been moments in recent games when he looked like he was nursing an injury, if it's a slight strain that's enough to get him some rest for the next month it might work in our favour. Shame for him though, having broken into the squad so late in his career I imagine he wants to play every minute he can at that level.

Absolutely, must admit I thought they possibly got away with it because of the extra travel to South America, but their games were in Eastern Europe. It does seem absolutely ridiculous to be playing international friendlies at all a couple of days before the biggest world tournament starts. Along with Scott, Andi could have done with a break more than any of our players, all hindsight now but we should have withdrawn him & he could have spent a fortnight on a beach somewhere with his wife & kids. The bloke has certainly earned a proper rest. Edited November 21, 2022 by GrahamC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
