Neto

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Not online

Understood.

At least the World Cup should eat up a lot of that time.
I also don’t think he should have been starting every game like he was either.

Hope he comes back sharp.

 

[Bugsy911]

The only surprise is that it's not even longer, really stupid tackle he tried that caused it at being injured won't help him retain his form / confidence from Lage sticking him out on the right wing.

 

[arctic rime]

Bloody hell

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

So that's Sasa, Neto, Jimenez, Hwang all long term crocked, Costa not proper fit for a month, what a state we've managed to get ourselves into.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

That's infinitely better than I feared, thanks to the WC. I thought it would be a season ender.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Looked innocuous to me at the time. How long can our bad luck with injuries persist? Well at least gives a chance for Traore to stamp his authority on the team. Also as Guedes picks up steam and Costa beds in perhaps the new manager can pick a settled forward line? B Traore, Neves and Nunes looks a decent mf so all ready for lift off!

We have had a bad few years, but we had an inordinately good few years before that so I suppose it evens itself out

Costa looks absolutely game ready - far more ready than I thought. Augurs well under a competent manager

If its true about Pedro, then whoever decided Sasa and then Pedro could go back on the pitch to try and run it off (If it wasnt Lage) needs sacking they are both out for large chunks of the season and those decisions would not have helped their injuries.

Tbf Sasa's wouldn't have mattered. If they've torn the ACL, nothing would really change that.

For Neto though.... absolutely plausible that it was worsened by the farce of the ensuing 5 minutes

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

The Neves comments could be taken differently to how they seem to be generally interpreted (which is that they were pointing at Bruno).

English is not his first language so that has to be taken on board.

"We need to make sure everyone goes on the same path"
"It is time to look to ourselves"
"If you don’t train like you play you will not be able to win enough games at the weekend"


When I read that, I think he was digging out players, not training like they should.
He has included himself in the terms (which a good leader would) and he is a player, not a manager or coach.

Whoever comes in as next manager, I for one hope they are more of a disciplinarian than Lage was because I get the feeling it's needed

I think hes saying more like the boys play well in training but dont do the same in the matches really

 

[Minimalist]

Hope there is better news on Nunes, that looked problematic too.

Nunes was hobbling around for a while as well. Assume he's ok?

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Dropping like flies? Well at least Davis and Collins have first hand knowledge of potential replacements as they've been training them for a year or 2 now?!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

It looked to me after he had made the tackle the player stood on his ankle….could be wrong but that’s what thought. Maybe someone could find the incident

I remember that he was trod on, foot or ankle, not sure about that.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

But new year could mean a lot of things

Could be the new year after the next one

 

[JOSWolf]

Nunes in full training this week.

. @Wolves star @pedrolneto7 will miss the World Cup and is expected to be out for several months. The 22-year-old forward damaged ankle ligaments during last week's 2-0 defeat at West Ham. Wolves are set to confirm this sad news in full shortly.

I think it's alluding to effort. As in taking it easy during training, so unable to carry that mentality in to a match.

 

[Wolf in the sun]

anyone connected with sending him back on the pitch should be sacked on the spot, i know most of them have gone but anyone left needs to go now

 

[JamesWolves]

Sadly, this probably means he'll never reach the potential he should have.

 

[Matt]

Sent Sasa back on the pitch after doing his knee ligaments and now Pedro with his ankle ligaments. Incompetence.

 

[MasWolf]

Wishing him a swift and full recovery.

 

[Starsky]

Strained is better than ruptured?

Not great at all, but not the worst outcome?

 

[Perton Wolf]

Starting to feel like he might be another one of those players who has a lot of potential but whose career is ultimately held back by injuries. Big shame.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Wishing him all the best must be an extremely frustrating/upsetting time for him with two serious injuries and now missing out on the World Cup aswell...

Serious questions need to he asked about the medical team and how we deal with these bad injuries as they should not be going back onto the pitch after they happen!!!
Anyone could see at the weekend Neto was not fit enough or happy to return....

What is going on?!

 

[Northampton_wolf]

Hes still young, i hope the same doesnt happen to chiquinho on his return.

but neto may become a nearly man if he keeps getting injured

 

[clivewolves]

Oh, balls.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I'm pleasantly surprised by this Neto updated. Anticipated a rupture and out for the season.
Hopefully Bruno doesn't show up with a hammer to finish the job

 

[Peszkywolf]

It's sad but he's not the same player that he looked likely of becoming. Had so much potential and was already a match winner, but has looked a shadow of his former self.

We're really lacking in firepower and actual goalscorers now aren't we?!

 

[sillytuna]

I cannot for the life of me understand how he stays on the pitch with that kind of injury. Lage and/or his team are imho partially responsible for our injury issues.

 

[DasWolf]

I mean, if you have a broken leg then yeah you have a broken leg mate. But no matter how bad the injury, making someone go tap dancing on it is going to make it even worse still!

Sasa and Neto should have been off straight away. Said so on both occasions at the time, and the people responsible should be sacked, if they're still somehow inexplicably at the club!

There's always an element of luck, but the massive increase in injuries after Nuno left in my view is due to a severe lack of professionalism and competence from the medical and management staff.

When Nuno came in as well, I remember being very impressed by the thoroughness of warm up routines, which looked well above our opponents, and no doubt went a long way in avoiding injuries.

 

[Bostin]

The most important signing we can make is a new medical team.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

But isnt this the same medical team who were lauded as the best in the country when he had basically no injuries for 2 seasons?

 

[Carl Corts Flick Ons]

No one to blame but Neto himself, it was a weak silly attempt at a tackle that wasn’t needed. For me me he had shown a real lack of maturity in his game that he’d found before his first bad injury

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Don't think so... I'm sure it is all changed now since Phil Hayward went to L.A Galaxy (think i have remembered the right team)...

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

Ah yes, one of our quarterly serious injuries. We've been expecting you. FFS.

 

[DJLWolf]

Obviously disappointing news, but not the end of the world.The truth is he's been woeful for a long time and ironically the tackle that he made was born out of pure frustration because he knows it too.

Costa/Adama/Podence should be the front 3 regardless of whether Neto was fit or not.

 

[steve vena]

And the small squad syndrome.

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

Verging on gross negligence.

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

I have a feeling that the new boss will have a good clear-out of backroom staff and I wouldn't be surprised if he questions the players fitness.
