Lopez looks in great shape
9:00am Monday 10th September 2012 in Sport By Brian Owen
Ready to go: David Lopez
Gus Poyet is confident his latest Spanish signing will be fit and ready for an early introduction into the Championship.
But the Albion boss wants to give David Lopez, and his other new signings, as much match practice as possible this week as he prepares for Friday’s home game against Sheffield Wednesday.
Lopez has not played a competitive match since last season while Dean Hammond, Stephen Dobbie and Andrea Orlandi have also been short of league and cup action this term.
But Poyet, who must decide how and when to integrate his new boys into a side who have taken seven points from their last three games, said: “They are fit. They just need match fitness.
“We did plenty of fitness tests with them last week and they are good but they need to play games.
“We are going to manage that during the week.
“We have done a little bit of 11 v 11 against the development group already. We are taking care of that.
“They look quite fit despite not playing to be fair - but players normally are.”
In particular, Poyet has assured fans there will be no repeat with Lopez of the wait they had to see his fellow Spanish creator Vicente at full power.
He added: “David is a really fit boy. He can run a long time and recover quickly."
Albion return to training today without Tomasz Kuszczak, who is away with Poland.
Adam El-Abd will return early after Egypt's friendly with Cameroon, scheduled for tomorrow, was cancelled due to security concerns,
Poyet said: “Hosko is much better than expected. The recovery was quicker.
“But we won't risk him. We will wait the weeks you need to wait after a fracture.”
Albion players enjoyed a long weekend off work, including injury-troubled Vicente.
The club will assess his fitness when he reports back today

Am expecting to see Orlandi in for Kaz (considering he's just had minor surgery) and Dobbie and Lopez on the bench.
Nice little sound bite about Hosky too. I think most of us would like to see what a fit and confident Will Hoskins can do for the team, rather than an ignominious exit on loan.

Looking forward to Will Hoskins coming back and really showing the Amex crowd what he is capable of.
Maybe Crofty's position will be covered by one of the new guys other than Dean Hammond. I can't see Gus making any other changes, until perhaps, bringing on a couple of the new signings later in the second half on Friday (assuming Kaz starts).

One thing Gus has learnt to use for the squad's style and formation on a match to match basis is the element of surprise.
All too many clubs attempt to maintain a winning team at all costs, but what this eventually leads to is the opposition sides working out the strengths and weaknesses of such a ploy and using this very much to their advantage.
Part of the advantage of having a squad rotation is keeping everything fresh, and the opposition constantly thinking. Incorporating quality players as Gus has done, will lead to exciting methods that will be even more exciting for us to watch.
Will Hoskins is a quality player, and I certainly hope that he will form an integral part of our new and improved squad.

I too would really like to see Hoskins given a few games once he's fit to see what he can do. If he doesn't cut it at least we'll know but at the moment he is just a mystery man to most of us. Talking of men of mystery, anyone know what the official line is on Vicente's injury? Seems to me that niggles that take a month to clear up must be more than niggles...
With regard to changing the team about, we will have about six games in three weeks, so I would imagine that there will be some injuries during that period, even if only slight, and some players will have to rested during that time.
Unlike last year, we have cover in depth and it is Gus's job to play the fit players and rest the ones who need it. Throughout the season there will be a natural rotation of players to ensure they are all match fit and not playing though injury.

Hammond does seem a natural replacement for Crofts.
The ongoing saga of Vicente's, 'niggle,' continues to to raise questions about his future with Brighton, if only with me.
I really don't see Hoskins going out on loan if only because the squad is light on strikers. Now if the player has asked to go on loan then yes maybe it would happen.

Over that period of time I would expect too see all of the new lads used as subs and also make a start, even if they don't finish a game. Come the end of the six matches I would hope that they could all go 90 minutes.
I would also guess that during this busy few weeks any loan deals we might be thinking about doing will also have been completed, in or out. Gus will have quite a job on his hands keeping the players happy.

With reference to Hosko as he is apparently known I think it would be a great shame to offload him. He cost the Albion a fair amount and, through no fault of his own, has been sidelined for quite a bit. When he has played his contribution has been considerable. And in my opionion it would be strange to keep looking for another striker when the answer is sitting in the first aid room. But you should take my comments with a pinch of salt - I thought the fact that Vincelot played through the pain barrier on several occasions, postponing an operation on his shoulder for the sake of the team, deserved slightly better treatment than he has received... Oh well, roll on Wednesday on Friday - any word on Wayne Bridge...? Is he back in training...?
Since Poyet appears to view Dobbie in the Vicente role supporting a striker(s) I still expect the search for another forward to continue.
Given the club have been trying to get the right type of player for over a year I am not sure exactly how long that might take.
Anybody like Captain Haddock, Farside. Dr Baldhead, Hovite, Rolivan or VegasSeagull like to hazard a guess as to when that might be ? I don't think it will be before October at the earliest. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if a CB was signed on loan first.
Since I will still be in France on Friday I look forward to hearing how those new signings like Lopez who play actually perform.
Finally I seem to have missed something - is Bridge injured ?

If the plan was always to fill the spot with a loan player due to costs, then maybe now is the time to act. I would imagine that had the right player been available at the right price we would have got him by now.
I am a tad surprised that we didn't buy a center back, they tend to come cheaper than strikers, but once again a loan deal might have always been on the cards.
If I am right then I would expect both positions to be filled quickly. If I am wrong then January it is.
I suspect two loan players with an option to buy at the end of the year.
Right now our center backs and strikers are fit and playing, we wouldn't want to wait until one or more are injured and then try to do a quick deal.,

Following the last two results, I can't see Gus making any unforced changes on Friday. Only Hammond for Croft and Will Buckley in for Kaz if he's not quite ready.
I wouldn't write Kaz off, the op he had is a small procedure, removal of a plate is less demanding than inserting one because the underlying injury has healed.
If Kaz is in full training then he should be able to play.

I think the WB question related to if he was back from LA where he'd gone on a flying visit to see his girlfriend. If they have reported back today presumably he was there as well, although spending Thursday with a Saturday before flying home to play Wednesday on a Friday is, I should imagine, enough to confuse anyone.
