East Stander 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 OLIVIER Bernard is to continue his road to recovery when United Reserves travel to Wigan Athletic on Wednesday. The French full-back, who re-signed for the Magpies in September, has not featured for Glenn Roeder's first-team after being dogged by a series of injuries, the latest a hip problem which has kept him sidelined since November. Reserve team coach Lee Clark will hand second-string debuts to Academy players Ryan Donaldson, Alex Francis and Darren Lough. Donaldson (15) will take his place up-front alongside Andy Carroll after Carl Finnigan, an ever-present for the Reserves this season, signed for Falkirk on Tuesday. United are currently 5th in the Reserve League North, but have three games in hand on leaders Middlesbrough who are eight points ahead. The Magpies face a Wigan side who have yet to win a game this season and have just two points to show from eight outings. Newcastle United; Fraser Forster, Mark Bertram, Alex Francis, Darren Lough, Olivier Bernard, James Troisi, Matty Pattison, Kris Gate, Kazenga LuaLua, Andy Carroll, Ryan Donaldson Subs; Mark Doninger, Jonny Godsmark, James Marwood, Ross Cowan, Rob Cavener The game is a 7.30pm kick-off at Robin Park.

The Fish 9027 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 it seems every year we produce a striker that does well in the reserves, Chopra, Offiong, Zola, now Finnigan. I can't help but wonder why they seem unable to make the step up to Premiership level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well if Bernard is near to playing a reserve game then we don't need to worry about left-backs any more! Who needs transfers, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Stander 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I was sure that Luque and Bramble were also supposed to be in this squad, Bramble himself wanting a game before the Villa match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 How timely. Fuck all wrong with Bernard that a bag of pasties from Greggs wouldn't fix tbh. There's a rabbit off with this one, like a number of our injured souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I dunno that it can just be injuries with Bernard. Even injuries and needing to muscle up again. I think he must have lost some significant part of his game too (whether in Luque sense or some physical/skill sense), it'll be interesting to see if he gets into the first team again anyway.

Carr's, Babayaro's and Owen is blatantly keeping himself fit for England friendlies in the summer. Owen's been an exceptional case and we've been very unlucky but we should have seen it coming with the other two tbh. Always on and off the treatment table at their previous respective clubs.

Sima 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I wish I could still access the threads on NO where they were saying "Best left back in the country IMO" He's never been any better than average. Used to hide his ineptness by flying into tackles and getting wiped out by a tackle every single game.
