| JOE RODON A DOUBT FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST CLASH 14:44 - Sep 12 with 9246 views | Landore_Jack |
Joe Rodon is a doubt for Swansea City’s Championship clash with Nottingham Forest after picking up a knock on international duty.
The 21-year-old made his Wales debut in Friday’s Euro 2020 qualifying win over Azerbaijan, and then featured in Monday’s friendly win over Belarus.
And Swans boss Steve Cooper revealed the defender had taken a kick during the latter game and is being assessed ahead of Saturday’s Liberty Stadium clash.
But the head coach confirmed the rest of Swansea’s international contingent have got a clean bill of health.
“Joe has had a kick, so we will see how he is,” said Cooper.

Giggs should have got big Joe off after the first half, or 60 mins max.
Wales need to look after our young players, or the clubs will just pull them out. Nobody wants that as the way forward.
Swans will miss big Joe massively. Entirely avoidable. |
Is the correct answer. |  | | |

He shouldn’t have played at all.
What’s the point in playing for Wales? It’s a massive pile of boIIocks and no one cares.
If Giggs could get a proper job......rat.......drainpipe....... |  |

Yes, we should block all SCFC players playing for Wales or better still sell them at the first opportunity. Unambition is critical. |  | | |

If Giggs wants to play a certain player in a friendly, and wants to play them for a specific number of minutes (whether it is 30, 60, 90 etc), he should be able to. It's frustrating for us if injuries occur from the extra playing time, but Giggs is tasked with playing the team he wants to play, not with pleasing league clubs.
If Rodon didn't get injured everything would be fine, and he would have more valuable international minutes.
It's a hard one, but we just have to accept it and move on. One injury isn't going to derail our season. [Post edited 13 Sep 2019 9:47]

Most of us were not happy with both roberts and rodon playing 90 mins in both games Tim and thats before we find out that Joe has played on with a knock, yes the qualifier no doubt but another 90 mins in a friendly, when there are another 11 players on the bench, with unlimited substitutions at your disposal?
I hope privately cooper will have had a word with the serial sh@gging friendly misser to get his pennysworth in. | | | |

Joe’s desire to play on is understandable. Young man starting his international career would crawl over broken glass to play regardless of whether it’s a friendly or a qualifier.
Giggs job is to protect young men like Joe from themselves. As a player who went through a spate of injuries in his career he should know better than most about protecting players. He needs a kick up the arse. |  |

Hard to remember a more loathed manager than Giggs ,notwithstanding his stella career for manure anyway.
Utterly pitiful with Press and his contempt for fans is palpable | |

Surely, if Wales fail to qualify Giggs will be gone. Should happen before but can't see the FAW wanting to pay him off. At the end of the campaign maybe he'd do the decent thing. We definitely dodged a bullet there. | | | |

The words Giggs and decent have never been appropriate in the same sentence. [Post edited 13 Sep 2019 14:43]

Giggs ,for club,was brilliant ,one of the greatest.For country, because of his attitude and that of Ferguson ,he was nothing but an insult to us all. A shitehouse.
It s arse wrenching to see him managing Wales.
I dream of an early sacking for him | |

I see your point about Giggs not playing in these type of games, but what's he meant to do, cancel the games haha? |
I blame UEFA forcing these extra friendlies on teams in the five team groups. There is no way this game would have been arranged, if it wasn't for this rather silly rule UEFA have forced on countries. Saying that, you would have thought Lockyer and Lawrence and Chris Gunter would have been brought on, at half time on Monday at least, to give them much needed game time. | | | |

Levitt wasn't happy about not getting a game by the sounds of the tweet he quickly deleted afterwards. Should've stayed with the u21s and played the Germans (who were probably a better side than Belarus). | | | |

Considering the amount of tinkering he did between the Croatia and Hungary games in the summer, the lack of tinkering on Monday night was quite baffling. I know he did make two leftfield selections, but not changing the back two and Connor did suprise me. | | | |

Met his mother in osijek when he was picked in the 22 above joniesta🤔

Its shocking that he gets picked in the 22 for a friendly and doesnt get a game, especially when hes been in the 22 for a qualifier. | | | |

As somebody has already stated... When the I ternational window kicks in Giggs has the absolute right to do with his players as he sees best. Some may not like it as 'the club pays the wages' but the internationals give the player more ammunition when renegotiating Co tracts and the value of the player goes up so ultimately is a positive thing for a club long term.
Whist Giggs has a duty of care for players duting the international window, he a d his medical team have the absolute right to make the calls on selection and substitutions. Whatever his motive for playing Rodon 90mins his his perogative.
We/Swans shouldn't dictate to Giggs how to use players whilst in international duty just as Giggs shouldn't be asking the club to rest ayers before big international matches. | | | |

Bit like when DJ was withdrawn from the u21s last qualifier with Switzerland (the last game at that age level he was qualified for iirc) to go with the senior squad and then not even make the matchday team and put the kit on.
Some of these lads should be left where they are to get the most experience possible. No sense rushing them forward all the time. Leave the benchwarming to the old boys. | | | |

Damn, I should've known people wouldn't know what a tim tam is. Look at the spelling of the second word, and reverse it 
Back to the topic, I completely agree that they shouldn't play long minutes, especially in a friendly. But if Giggs wants to play then for that time, then he will. He's not an employee of Swansea City. He probably doesn't care whether we win games or not.
My opinion (which I'm sure is shared by most Welsh fans) is that Wales will never qualify for any competitions with Giggs at the helm. The squad is far too talented to not be qualifying, so there is an issue. | |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
