JJ will have 2 major problems

1. Confidence that is knee is now fixed
2. Has his pace and Agility remained

These are both big issues - and if resolved - excellent
if not, we may already have seen the best of him

Fingers crossed

i dont expect to see JJ until January time in the first team setup! I think they will nurse him very gently into fitness, I surprised Max is so far ahead to be honest and really needs to be careful

Aren't they one and the same?
And if the rumours are true, do you think I should remove his poster from the spare bedroom?

Oh no. What rumours? He’s not been hanging around with Jak has he?

his Instagram suggests he might be getting a run out for the u23s today....

Edit: Not in the squad, may be that he's back in the training fold.

It's strange really, it felt like he was rushed back last time but hasn't there been an even smaller gap this time?

Could be anything though with long term injuries like that, could be that it was not quite as bad as the first time or that its simply healing quicker. Even if he's back training I'd expect another 2 months or so till he's up to full speed L1 football

He’s at St George’s this week judging by snapchat

Think Calum Wilson has ,so there's hope
ACLs aren’t as career threatening as they use to be, but they do require lengthy recuperation periods as we have seen with JJ and Max upto a year, I can’t remember reading exactly what JJs injury was, was it a reacurrance of the old one, a complication or something else, medial ligament for example, Still getting him back fit and upto speed will be like signing a new player, the thought of him fully fit and linking with Godden and O’Hare is potentially awesome.

Somewhere between the waitress and her table.
Anyone can hit one lucky shot into the corner - what's really impressive about the first video is that he's placing the ball in exactly the same spot time and time again. I don't know how long he continues to do this - the video is really long and I stopped watching after 5 minutes.






yes i know it's a gif.

I was thinking the same thing - also the bloke who keeps passing him the ball should be in the midfield on Saturday - his pass completion % is amazing

I’m sure the ACL is repaired with some of the hamstring on some people not sure on JJ but surely that will effect his pace if so.

Mentally last time we heard he didn’t like to put a challenge in in training & we could see he wasn’t mentally right now he’s done it again I think it will be a while until we see him

He came back too soon last time
Nobody's fault, he was desperate to play and the club wanted him back ASAP
He was never 100% right though so that would affect anyone's confidence in the same circumstances
