I thought Howe said that he and Kelly were definitely NOT able to play tomorrow.The club obviously know what the injury is by now! Shame they're not telling!
Maybe he will be in the squad tomorrow - who knows?

Ah you must be fairly new to Eddie’s press conferences. Often players who are ‘injured’ on Fridays make miraculous recoveries on Saturday!I thought Howe said that he and Kelly were definitely NOT able to play tomorrow.

I think that sort of practice is frowned upon in US sports where there are very clear definitions of ‘possible’, ‘probable’, ‘questionable’ etc. Here managers can say what they like about player availability if the aim is to gain an advantage. As it happens, I believe Kelly and Danjuma are both unavailable for tomorrow, but don’t be surprised to see a ruse at some point in the season!
This is amazing and you are right on all counts. By a few days before the contest, the coach has to release who will be available, might be available or won't be available. So, I just thought it was definite when I read that information. Still can't take my JCL hat off for a while.

I'm pretty sure that injury reports came about primarily for gambling reasons. The public injury reports were a way to prevent insiders from having a gambling advantage.Might that be because of the greater distances to travel. So it's pretty obvious who is and isn't available as they are booking flights so that info would get leaked anyway. So it's worth a league rule existing to combat anyone gaining an advanatge due to having better contacts in the airline industry?? Just a thought, as everywhere in this country is doable in a day, albeit a long and uncomfortable day. Unlike across the water where some of your journeys are huge?
Yep, fairplay to the lad. I hope he gets a good chance here to prove himself. It does irk me that we have a player who wants to learn, fit in, adapt, improve and play for us yet Eddie is playing someone whos interest is now not playing for us.
I’m slightly confused. Who said anything about Fraser being dropped? Footballing reasons or otherwis?I don't get this at all. You play the best player on your books in my view. Certainly at this stage of the season. Fair play if you want Fraser dropped on form but not for non football reasons.
