The Specky Forum Organiser 64,428 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Going to be really tough for him to get in the team. Kent and Candeias are arguably our two best players just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It will take a year for all these boys to settle in properly in my opinion. He needs minutes which is the tricky bit when we are playing well but I fully expect him to be an integral part of the side towards the second half of the season plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossS1873 1,656 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'd assume he's a longer term replacement for Candeias. Whilst DC has been superb over the last few games, he is 30 now and his pace which is one of his best assets, will begin to diminish. I'm not worried and when he gets up to match sharpness we will have another decent player on our hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Albanian manager rates Grezda very highly. He said Grezda could've gone to a better standard of league rather than joining us or words to that effect. The Albanian managers comments aside, It does seem like everyone who has worked with Grezda rates him so there's got to be a player there.

Kent might not even be here next season so we don't know what the picture will be like long-term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt his quality - just think it'd be better to let him focus on regaining fitness and getting into our starting XI at this time. If he gets some time on the pitch for Albania and improves his match fitness then fair enough, but if he doesn't it's a waste as he'd have taken part in bounce games for us to get up to speed.

raging blue 1972 894 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 not risking injury and keeping him in cold storage to be unleashed in the semi with kent and middleton as his 'wing men' Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancger86 46 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I’m not in the slightlest bit worried. He had surgery in June and since he signed the talk was how he basically had to do his pre-season with us and then get match sharp. Kent and Candeias have both been excillent lately. Let them keep doing that. Then when inevitably one gets injured/suspended/tired/loses form we will effectively have a new signing fit and ready to hit the ground running. Smart management by Gerrard instead of rushing him back! True Hair Bear, plumbGER and Aubie92 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,090 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 We now have a couple of weeks off to work on his fitness , so SG probably wasn't risking a set back in what was obviously going to be a physical game against Hearts . Good management imo . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
