Mason at full tilt training in the sun

This is really really good to see. Won't be holding my breath but rightly so as his health is of the utmost importance.

 

Sure. But he's no Sir Cheshire Ben is he?

 

Goes without saying we wish him all the best as a person and also as a HCFC player.
Hopefully he can edge his way back to somewhere near where he was and play a key role in getting us up where we belong.
Good luck Ryan.

 

Good lad. Hope he gets well enough to do the job he loves.
On a selfish note, what a player we'll have in the championship!!

 

Good luck to him, but trainings one thing, contactless running & kicking, but in a real game will he ever challenge for a header again? Will he be dubious about going in for a tackle if there's a chance it could seriously damage his health?
If he does come back fully, he'll be a very brace player. I wonder if he'll use a skull cap like Cech? Would it protect him with being an outfield player?

 

Good to see him back training, as Brucebones says the crux will be when it comes to heading and competing in a game. But hopefully it is a good sign that he must be confident to be able to overcome this, or he wouldn't be getting back to training.

 

Cheshire Ben...worth 5 Ryan Masons


EDIT. How the **** does 'weighs' autocorrect to 'worth'?

 

I think worth fits better.

 

No
He definitely weighs the same as five Ryans

 

Good to see. I felt from the TV interview he did that he might never get back to any sort of training. Long way to go but this is a hopeful state of affairs.

 

Because, clearly, the Internet is clevererer than you!

 

of course he is gonna head the ball.
if anything, his rivals for headers will be the ones that think twice about challenging for the ball with him.

Can't take this as a given, he's likely to be very cautious about it.

This is a fair point, might be something in it, at least for a short while.

 

Chances are that he will me managed by not having him in the penalty area for corners, as that is the likely area when he would have to head a ball under pressure from another player.

 

It really must be the worth of boast worlds...

 

He will be played in the advanced midfield role at a guess for this reason.
Is he any good at delivering corners/set pieces?

 

He'll be better than both of the other first team players we'll have left soon

 

I think you're being generous Den. Ryan's clip of him training was our first team

 

From what I remember that's exactly the position he wanted anyway, he was happier when playing that way briefly under Silva than before under Phelan.
