Forshaw update

[IPA]

Hardie is still our second top scorer and loss of form is only temporary.

He's running on empty though mate and would probably be more effective against tiring legs.

I'm happy for him to prove me wrong though!

I think a goal would reenergise him🤞🏻

Running on empty? So has he not had a rest last 7 days,

Those stats are freely available to anyone with an internet connection, but I sourced them from Opta and FBref.

Forshaw has made 18 appearances for Argyle and played a total of 642 minutes. You can definitely use his injury record as a stick to beat him with if you choose, but his ability as a footballer is without question. He's by far and away our best central midfielder and when he's fit he has to start.

I will be pleased if we can get his average 36 minutes tomorrow to be honest. There is fit and 'Forshaw fit' and we just have to hope we can get a long enough contribution from him.

i agree with your comment here.all of our players have not played for seven days come tomorrow,they are fit young men.

what happens if he does do his fewer than 36 minutes and we are not winning?the man was a good player obviously,but now an injury liability.play caleb in midfield,if you're good enough you're old enough.

And Caleb is not good enough and thus still not old enough.

Seen a lot of talk about Roberts and Issaka. I really don’t think some people grasp the level we are at now. This ain’t a League Two relegation fight. It isn’t the time for chucking unproven youngsters in at the deep end. Bad for us and bad for their development. Their time will come. It’s not now.

Yep I'm sure Caleb will be a cracking player but there's no way he's ready right now, from what I've seen. He'd have had to come on and really boss games for that to be the case, but he struggled a tad against Leeds in particular.

It's a massive step up from local U18 football to Championship level. I'm sure Nance and Dewsnip with their experience of young players are better able than us to judge when he is ready.

If Caleb can get us forward he will do more than Houghton and Randell have done. Wouldn’t start with him but would have him on the bench with Freddie.

How condescending. We all know the level we are at now but do you keep playing the same old players when they are not up to the job or freshen things up? Beggars can't be choosers and these two youngsters are Argyle through and through. I ‘m sure they would give it their best shot.

Yes, but apart from that, what makes you think he's our best midfielder?!

It is strange it's been announced he's "fit" so far in advance. Perhaps it's just a ruse to confuse Millwall and he won't even be on the bench ...

Yes, if he's been excused from training for those days!

i disagree.
