Excuse my ignorance on this if answered elsewhere but whats happened to him?

I was very excited about this signing and the reports I found on him suggested we have done very well to get him, but he hasn't played a minute to my knowledge for us and for a player that has historically had injury issues I would think a full pre season is vital.

Did he pick up an injury in training or come in with one? If its the latter then Im surprised we took what appears to be a big risk on him. I know others were out injured last night but all have at least featured in other games and been spotted in training.

He was definitely there last night, seen him walking in from the car park behind the players entrance, in the TUFC training kit. hopefully its not too serious, there was no sign of a limp!

So Liam Davis is still 'injured' due to some prescribed orthotic insoles. You have to ask who prescribed these knowing he is a professional footballer with the 'side effects' they have given him. This has been going on for weeks now so not something trivial in my view.

Not panicking it is just frustrating when we are playing the league favourites on Saturday,needing a full strength side,without a recognised left back (apart from the gaffer of course!).

Do you mean cough at the right moment with the doctor?
Talking of injuries what's happening with Gowling?

Let's put our faith in Gareth Law - he's a top man.

He needs to be with Clarke, Davis and Gowling all struggling with niggles.

Still we moan when the team is too inexperienced and then we moan when the old blokes get injured... Lose, Lose...

Don;t worry we have Chaney at left back?!?!?!?! LOL :bow:

There's no reason why Jordan Lee or Chaney himself can't do an adequate job at left back on Saturday. That is what football management is; utilising your assembled squad.

Last Saturday I saw 18 year old Ainsley Maitland-Niles star at left wingback for Arsenal against Benfica. Why do I mention that? Because Maitland-Niles had only ever been played down the right flank before but proved as any well balanced and two footed footballer can that he could play in any part of the pitch. From what I have seen of Sam Chaney, he is two footed and well balanced, so why not?

I dont see it being an issue for Saturday, players get injured all the time and its a squad game.

My concern is Davis has struggled with injuries for a while now and I felt really needed a decent pre season to his body right and ready for the tough season ahead, he has missed that entire phase which is disappointing but it is what it is and Im sure in time he will provide a decent acquisition, I just hope he isnt rushed back and breaks down again.
