Walker had Covid. I think people are underplaying the potential affect of that.

As I put in the other thread, we aren't really managing players and match fitness are we?

Look at Da Costa.

The options seem to be sit on the bench and get 5 minutes at the end of a game or nothing for some players.

I think Walker has shown enough that when fit he will score goals, but only if we create chances. I don’t think he plays the lone striker role that well, and if we can get them both fit at the same time, it will be interesting to see how he and Godden can play together. I think we’ll struggle for goals until that happens.

Giles was left out for a month and now looks lacking in match fitness as well

It never got mentioned as something that affected his game. Think it makes more sense that he just got knackered from having no proper backup. (Although did Shipley have it too?! His fitness issues are bizarre atm)

Anyway, ‘sack the physio’ is an....interesting strategy. Not sure that’s really how sports science works but maybe there’s some experts on here.

Unless he was asymptomatic, in which case it wouldn’t have made any impact at all.

Managers usually mention when players are playing through an injury, don’t they?

Right but Walker got the type of muscle injury you get from either not warming up properly or overdoing it.

Just to check, are people blaming Walker's pulled muscle on Corona?

That is why I said ‘overdoing it’, not that a pulled muscle is a contact injury

Godden is clearly not fit and unfortunately he's not good enough and this level to perform when he's not at his peak.
Wouldn't surprise me if he starts on the bench against Milwall.

I think that’s the biggest concern in that we are resting our hopes on a player albeit decent that just about makes Championship grade

If we start with Baka and Max we may as well not turn up. Then again if Godden isn’t match fit we have no choice. Simply put Joy needs to help us out, but probably won’t

I’m not sure she’s any better than Baka
