George back for the FA CUP

[minesahartington]

Thorne in line to be in the squad for the FA Cup tie with Reading. Great News but do we need him for that one.

I've just read it in the Telegraph, I can't believe how quick he's come back from injury! Perhaps they'll put him on the bench for last 10 minutes just to feel the pace of the game. Really brill news though

[minesahartington]

I know. we can`t wrap him in cotton wool though. They know what they are doing...i am sure. but agreed hopefully 3 up and ten mins to go. we can dream

[triz]

I'm so excited to get him back. I've tried to give him no thought since he got injured otherwise it'd **** me off, now I'm imagining how awesome he could be for us. Happy days .

Plays 90 mins on Wed for U21s then available for selection for first team next week or so. All being well.

[Oldtimeram]

Will he really be on the pace though? May take him several weeks to get back to what he was.

[clough08]

Agreed - will need a few sub appearances I would think

[SlimyLimey]

I think he may surprise us all & be back to his "Super self" in a couple of weeks... He certainly seems to drive himself, which bodes well for the team in the final run of the season.

[PartTimeRam]

It's a delicate situation. Either the management take their time and ease him in or they rush him back. But if he's brought back into the mix straight away and something goes it'll be the coaching teams fault for being impatient. Like you say you can't wrap him in cotton wool. Would 10-20 minutes against Reading be too soon? Maybe, I'd rather wait 2-3 weeks. There's no rush.

Isn't it great to be In the position to say "there's no rush" and mean it.
