It's very difficult to perform well without a run of games.
I thought he'd be injury prone, but this has exceeded what I thought would be worse case.
Can only one imagine how frustrating this is for everyone. But we can't afford passengers, no matter how good they are to have around the squad.

He was one of the players i was convinced we'd try and offload in January.
When we signed him i was a bit worried about his injury record but i thought if we could keep him fit he'd be levels above. Oddly enough though, when he has been fit, he's been rubbish, considering he's played his whole career in the Championship. He's got to be the highest paid payer at the club too, hasn't he?
Makes you wonder doesnt it, then IH says they got rid of Longelo because he wasnt providing the value for money he was on and he was even less injury prone!

Longelo went on a free because he had someone willing to take up his contract.
Much like Uwakwe I would never expect Hall to agree to leave & become unemployed. Especially whilst injured.
It's a real shame he's pulled up again because I was impressed with him yesterday & felt he covered Wright, who had a bit of a stinker defensively, really well. Hopefully it's a precautionary measure on his part & we can get another 5+ games from him before saying thanks for the effort & releasing him in the summer.

Hall has been gash all season. Complete waste of a wage.
…but 6-8 weeks ago I’d have said the same about Delaney.
Hall deserves the chance to play a run of games under Holloway - to see if he can show the same improvement others have
…but he’s not going to do that if he can’t stay fit.
The wages to minutes ratio must be horrendous. Never overly rated Hall & genuinely a bit surprised he’s had a steady career in the 2nd tier…

Havent read back.
Watched the first half and quite impressed although very concerned that the dominance would it us on the arse.
One of those games...if we got one...wed get 3....we didnt.
checked the final score and ffs....disaster. Seen the goal this morning...salt into the wounds.
Never mind...it was good whilst it lasted.
