Do you think (fully fit and up to speed) players like Huws, Bishop and Adeyemi would have done to our season? I am not sure about Bishop and Adeyemi, but Huws would certainly add some quality and energy to our midfield. Huws is training again, but how far off is Bishop? |  | | |  |

Huws would have made a difference, the isolation issues we faced would have been far less with him pulling the strings.
Bar a few games 3 years ago you can't really tell if Bishop would have made much difference, to be honest, I doubt we will see him in a town shirt again. |  |

The problem is none of these players will remain fit, so it’s a mute point.
Huws is clearly a good player - but rarely plays. Bishop doesn’t play. Adeyemi is a complete waste of time. | | | |

They would have helped for sure but the problem is its difficult to see any of them ever actually being 'fully fit' again. |  | | |

Fully fit they would obviously make a difference but its not going to happen is it, and certainly not in time to get us out of this mess.
Adeyemi and Bishop will never be seen in a first team Town shirt again in my honest opinion and its beginning to look as if Huws is the same.
Bishop aside its what happens when you shop in the bargain basement. We would never have got near a player like Huws had he not got an injury record. |  | | |

People are forgetting Teddy made his comeback against Exeter in the league cup. He had a setback though unfortunately.
Huws is also back in training, so hopefully soon we'll see both back in the 1st team.
Would like to see Rowe get some minutes, as has been doing well in the U23's | | | |

At their absolute best, a massive difference possibly totally redefining this season and one or two before it.
Even if you allow for them being "average" this season we'd be midtable at least because we'd retain and use the ball much better meaning our strikers wouldn't be snatching at one chance every ten minutes at best. |  |

Sadly i think this is all conjecture as it does not look as though any of them are very likely to play much of a part this season and maybe even ever. In Marcus Evans statement at the start of the season he reminded us how much of a loss they had been and what a big part he thought they could play this season and i well remember saying at the time, if we are relying on these three keeping fit we are in for a struggle. Sad but true! |  | | |

How much difference would they have made last season too?
Yes, they are all very good players and it would be great if they were fit but I think our current problems are not down to their absence. |  |

Actually, if I remember correctly, Huws has not been that unlucky with injuries prior to joining. Might be wrong, though. | | | |

He'd probably play Huws at left back and Bishop at right back. |  |

Some players bodies just aren't built for the rigours of being a professional footballer. Some are just unfortunate and pick up injuries, that happens. I think when you look at the nature of the injuries these players have suffered from, and the frequency at which they've occurred, I think they fall into the first category.
Bishop has played 90 minutes for Ipswich once in his career. ONCE. Staggering really, given he made his debut in 2014. As for Huws, if he was robust and capable of staying injury free I don't think he would be here at all, certainly not for £250k. He's a quality player, but it's not much use if he can't move. It's like having a Rolls Royce in the garage without an engine, next to a beat up Fiesta that runs. There's only one of them that's going to get you to work on Monday morning. |  |

Fully fit and up to speed they would be excellent. That's a top half midfield right there. Sadly I dont believe we will see Adeyemi again and i'd be surprised if either Huws or Bish put a run together of more than a few games before breaking down, such is their injury history and our seeming-inability to put players back together again these days.. |  |

Yeah what's happened with Rowe? In our endless search for wingers he looked decent but has completely vanished. | |

As it is with a team manager who doesn't know who to play where or to what formula- if any, I doubt any player in the world of football would make much difference e.g IF we got Messi tomorrow how good would he be in goal? | | | |

I don't think Rowe is going to cut it here sadly, the step up to first team will be too much. |  |

Well it#s not like we have much to lose by giving him a crack here and there is it. | |

Huws is a front-foot player who is also decent at keeping the ball and using it well. He's also a goal threat in his own right with his late runs.
He'd make a massive difference. But we wouldn't be having this discussion if Nolan had stepped up. For me, Nolan is the biggest disappointment and surprised that Hurst hasn't got more out of a player he knows all about. |  |

Yep I'm also surprised at the poor performances of Nolan, he was their engine last season creating and scoring and he is a shadow of the player at Shrewsbury, maybe he's finding the step up that little bit harder, also I know he's struggling to settle in the area too. | |

Not much at the moment. Nothing down to the player, just the system. We're ponderous o the ball at the back, too many gaps / voids in midfield and now way near quick enough at moving the ball though the midfield or supporting the attack.
We lack so much cohesion you could out anyone in there at the moment and it wouldn't make much of a difference. |  |

Looking at this season and last with injuries, and now Didz & Webster playing regularly elsewhere (incl full matches I believe), really does suggest that there are big questions that need to be asked re our behind the scenes medical/rehab/sports science depts. It's making a massive fundamental difference. Or is it down to the managers overplaying or picking the wrong games for them? (or a combination of course). |  |

Better ball retention and use of it by individuals would help the team be more cohesive.
Throughout the whole team, we seem to lose the ball or hurry a poor pass before players can get close and support. Skuse and Chalobah are the least guilty of that and they're in central midfield where there's least time and space so it's definitely a case of individuals needing to up their game or Hurst picking players who are better at it. Players like Graham and Edun, for example. | |

A lot.
Bishop is scheduled to return to the 23s on Monday, so hopefully he can get some action under his belt and return as soon as possible. |  | | |
