I hope he starts in the next game instead of Cav
I thought he looked a bit slimmer. Could be wrong but maybe that's why he hasn't played recently, in an attempt to make him slightly more mobile
He did.
Lets hope he starts on Saturday against Newcastle. Lets hope he scores a hat trick as well.
mitro looked very good for the few moments he was allowed on the pitch.
Also, isn't this our longest unbeaten run this season?

2 games? Probably
Mitro needs to play on Saturday. Also it's his old club

Agree. I think Mitro will be out to prove a point. He must start against Newcastle
Rose-tinted sharp 064.gif
From his extended warm up, I don't think he's fully fit, a couple of lovely touches to send lookman through and a header that deflected of their defender. It was nice to see him out there but he's not up to form yet
Think he's getting there, if he's fit to play 90 mins I would start him against Newcastle, if not, bring him on around 60 mins.
Newcastle seemed to deal very badly with quick breaks last night, also seemed strong at set pieces. Think they could be the perfect team for us to play against.
Fancy a better performance than last night but still a hard fought win by 1-0 or 2-1

When he recovers his old form, Fulham's excellent midfield should provide him with chances. If nothing else, he is the best at defending corners and set pieces which just might prove helpful...a win will give us all a good xmas :wine:
Looked sharp? I don't get that at all. He was only on a short time and I really didn't see him do anything remarkable. Maybe I missed something while on a pee break, but Mitrovic didn't impress (me).
He will replace the probably injured BDR.
I know he wasn't on that long but,for me, he didn't put a foot wrong.
Took a fantastic ball on his chest whilst in the air and moved it on.
Held the ball well and but for a good double save by their keeper would have had a sublime assist for Lookman.

He received two long balls into his chest...and the header he gave that almost set up Lookman. I think that's what they are referring to when they say he looked good. He also had a good chance to score from a header that he missed (that I don't think he should have) where the ball went left of the post.
Imo he looked ok. Our players are going to be tired...or injured on Saturday. Wouldn't mind him starting against Newcastle, but I hope it doesn't result in us trying to send 40 crosses into the box with only Mitro in the box to finish. Also hope he and the rest of the front line can pressure the Newcastle back line.

Yes, interestingly it was very unusual to see someone warming up using stretch bands on his lower legs and then on his thighs. IMO this would suggest a groin strain, and would explain his recent reduced mobility, form and absence. These can take some time to heal.
Your dreaming, he's to slow and cumbersome only Championship teams will come for him in the next transfer window, this includes Cairney he cannot change direction very limited not aggressive, we need a Grielish kind off player totally committed.

totally agree. He is the missing piece in the jigsaw right now
Mito is the perfect in-between player: too good for the Championship but not quite good enough to dominate in the Prem. Which means to me that he is the type of player whereby if he picks up a mild injury or knock then boom! He looks underwhealming all of a sudden.
The warming up with stretch bans suggests muscle strains or niggles, and in his position, he can't really hide, he has to try to win the ball when it's played into the middle, win it in the air, and jockey with defenders.
I thought we benefited from his presence when he came on, and he had half chances to score, but he didn't have long.
I also thought he might have lost a bit of weight, and seemed maybe more mobile.
How difficult is it for managers these days, look how opinions split with TC and Mitro.
I'm a big believer in playing players against former teams, if fully fit, Mitro should start against Newcastle, always that little extra spark and energy to beat a former team.
TC, not for me, when WHU offered whatever they offered for him should have moved him on, but naturally, if he gets any minutes I'm pleased for him and hope he does well.

Mitro looked great. He gave the attack a degree of organisation that had been missing all night. But those warm ups...........maybe not a starter for Saturday.
Can't see what RLC offers over TC.
Scotty says he's getting valuable game minutes, but that's no good if he's ineffectual.
We are basically warming him up for when he returns to 'ski !!
Mitro for me, misses to many chances. Those chances would be put away by top drawer strikers. He should also with his ability be creating for others to score. I remember the 'purple patch' with Sess and Mitro, they created for each other, Mitro seldom missed the same sort of opportunities that he is missing these days.

When you consider he had the hamstring injury in August it seems likely that a groin strain would follow if it never was fully fit. Add the truncated off season, his ridiculous international schedule the past 4 months and how many minutes he logged last season it does add up. If he has been less than fit, it seems wise to have him spend time getting his health and fitness up to speed instead of trying to drag an injured, ineffective striker out every match against the best league in the world.

Saw what you did there. On a thread about Mitro you managed to lever in another Cairney bash. I suggest you give it a rest.
And you could try spell check, it would help you a lot.
