I've had one there 

 

I did think it was a bit strange, it's been a long week is my only defence 

Ive been there many times myself

You'll notice I copied from the same site but added my own Stage 4 as a joke...muscles don't dissolve as far as I know

 

Haha. Ive had a two and three on the ankleand knew that’s when the ligament or muscle is detached from the bone etc but didn’t think there was a four. Was thinking about that for a while. Got me.

A big question over JJ. Will he be the same player again? I can't think of many folk that come back after the injury he had followed by such a set back.

Big Dan is a trier and he has some really good games but the truth is he's limited no matter where he plays. 

Dan is great and I love his attitude and flexibility, but he definitely has a mistake in him.

Any update on his injury?

At least Long Week is better than Vestergard in defence!

I  tend  to agree but  I am waiting for.  someone to tell me  why Denmark are one of the best teams in Europe with him a regular and to a lesser degree Praet   another who got in Belgiums  side. I must say I dont rate Maguire who is an  England regular  but he cost £ 80 million

Because international football for the majority of matches is against teams who wouldn't look out of place in League 2.

[Dahnsouff]

BOOM

 

Such a joy to see him back. 

[StriderHiryu]

Quality 60 minutes.

 

Combination play with Sharkey was superb.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

So much energy and verve. He is like first season Riccy P on gas. Just stay fit fella. 

[FoxyLeon]

Good to have him back.

 

Thomas's excellent form means right back is the best option for him....Hopefully being on his natural right side will mean less defensive errors from him too.

Yes

[Tuna]

Great to see that run from his own half just before he got substituted, vintage Justin.

[Supergray22]

The most remarkable thing is that he seems to have clicked straight back into that fifth gear that leaves the opposition for dead. He floats across the grass. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Absolute quality, like having a new player… 

[jmono84]

He looked a look stronger running tonight than he did when he first came back! Makes a massive difference for us defending and attacking! I really hope he can avoid injuries!!

[eblair]

Think looked okay in first 60. That last 30 he was atrocious, think must have been spent but Brendan should have taken off. Every attack down his side, was like hot knife in butter

 

needs to concentrate on defensive side of the game urgently as cost a lot of goals since he has come back

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

At fault for both goals tonight.

 

Castagne remains our best defensive full back for me.

 

Still good going forward though.

[Sunbury Fox]

That was arguably his worst ever game for us. He wasn't as effective as normal going forwards, Rennes got in repeatedly on his side all night and both goals were at least in part his fault. He left too much space on the outside for the first goal and was weak in the tackle for the second, which allowed their left back in to set up the goal. I'm a huge fan of his, though, and I'm sure he'll learn from the experience and soon be back to his best once he builds up more fitness. 

[smudgerfox]

Weak tackle for the second but not sure why Lookman arrived on the scene and then did nothing…I

[FoxesWalk]

I find it hard to blame him for the first goal given he was massively exposed. Albrighton should be covering with him but he was injured in the buildup, Youri spotted it and tried to fill in but wasn’t quite fast enough. Just unlucky IMO, without Marc pulling up I think their chances of scoring are significantly reduced.
 

His positioning was a bit off for a lone defender covering two players, he didn’t react fast enough to Albrighton going down, but that’s about it. If he reacts and positions himself deeper and wider then the player on the ball can just cut inside which is arguably just as dangerous, so it’s lose-lose really.
 

It wasn’t his best game for sure, but didn’t think he was majorly bad either… 5/10 performance for me.

I really like Justin but defensively shocking last night, hopefully he gets back in the swing soon

[turlo]

Wasn't great defensively last night and quite often gets pulled inside leaving an opposition player free out wide. Does offer us an outlet that we've been missing by carrying the ball out from defence into the oppositions half very quickly, rather than always trying to pass our way out. Still only had a handful of games since he came back from injury and will improve over time.  

[HitchinFox]

He would've learnt a lot yesterday.

 

After all, this is someone who has only played a handful of games in Europe – always a very different prospect than turning up for a game in the Premier League.
