[Albion] Jakub Moder

[Mancgull]

What do you think the odds are of him playing vs Forest Green in the cup on Tuesday are?

Travelling up to watch it so hoping to see him make a cameo.

Fairly high I’d think.

It’s you being harsh. He stood out in loads of games albeit a very long time ago. He also had atrocious bad luck in front of goal - I’ve never known a player who seemed to hit the bar or post as often as he did. I sincerely hope that he makes it back successfully. If anyone can help him be the best it will be our Roberto.

I seem to recall most of his 'misses' were bad luck, or good saves and so on - rather than 'he should have scored there'. Unlike Maupay's.

I seem to recall that Moder (rightly) aimed for the woodwork a lot. His misses were generally by less than a foot or he’d hit the bar/post. I think RDZ could turn him into a very effective and frequent goal scorer for us.

For which I apologised earlier. Now you piss off.

Cool reply to a good natured response to your post. I expect you realise many people read threads in order so I arrived and responded to the typo before I got to the apology. Or maybe you don't

Could be an alternative to Adingra on the right

? He isn’t a winger !

See him more competing with Dahoud and Gilmour for a spot, or possibly Lallana.

It was tongue in cheek from me anyhow, I forgive you.

I think you are right.

There has been a number of times when the likes of Dunk play a very quick ball to our on-rushing central midfielder in order to beat the opposition’s high press. The ball is normally flicked off to the flanks as we quickly progress up the pitch.

However, I have seen this tactic foiled by the opposition as the on-rushing midfielder (Gilmour or Dahoud) is overpowered from behind with possession lost in a very dangerous area. Very few players will be able to overpower Moder from behind in this situation. He will hold the ball up better than all our other midfielders (except maybe Baleba who is monster big).

I’m looking forward to seeing this move-with-Moder in action soon.

Aww shucks. I forgive you too

Bench.

 

[dazzer6666]

So pleased for him - massive strength of character shown to be in rehab for that long (with seemingly multiple setbacks).

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Wow that's such amazing news!

 

[Beach Hut]

This is a magnificent positive for Moder, really glad he is back in the fold

 

[Sheebo]

Just came to break my exclusive here and see Naylor has beaten me to it :

Moder has arrived at the same time as the playing players today - so may well be seeing him back in the squad!

Bench.

Great news, at the very least for him personally, hopefully he can have a positive impact on the rest of our season too.

 

[Sheebo]

Imagine the ovation he’s gonna get when he comes to warm up… Let’s just make sure it’s him though!

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Fantastic news, hope he can get a few minutes when we're 3 up !

Can’t see him being brought on before half time personally

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Whilst this is fantastic news does anyone know how many times he's played for the U21s?

As far as I'm aware he's only played 30 minutes in a game for them last week. Surely he's played more? It seems crazy that you can be out injured for 18 months, play once for 30 minutes and then be ready for premier league action. If he has only played that one 30 minutes then can we assume his place on the bench is as a reward/incentive and there's actually zero chance of seeing him come on?

It is, regardless, great news to see him being ever closer to first team readiness.

Excellent news - and really exciting but I’m not expecting too much of him though - not after more than a year and a half away from first team matches- it will take a while to ‘finish’ the rehab - no one comes back from an injury like that and for that long an absence and starts playing 90 mins every week, speed and fitness will still be a minor issue - but 10 mins in the second half today would be an amazing thrill for everyone - more than that, having Moder back in the squad gives the team and fans a much needed psychological boost to know our injury list isn’t all one way traffic at the moment - because it’s certainly felt like it recently!
