What do we do if/when Moura breaks down?
Keep the ball better? Create more chances? Work better as an attacking unit?

All true no doubt. But would the fans expectations be that high? And I'm thinking more about just coming on as a sub for the first few games.

The flip side of not introducing him soon is that the fans' anticipation and expectations will grow which will add to the pressure when he finally plays.
Maybe its the physical side of the game Jose thinks he's not ready for rather than the mental/emotional?
Dennis Cirkin has made the match day squad 2 or 3 times due to the pressure on the LB position. When Jose says Troy is not ready should he not be playing U 23 games instead ?
Has anyone actually seen him play ?
I know he's played for Ireland but I didn't see it.
I watched all of our pre-season games plus the Colchester cup game on the box.
In pre-season, what I remember is him having close control, intelligence, passing and movement. Not dissimilar to a Berbatov in his height and build actually. He seemed to get a little lost in the Colchester match though.
Didn't see the Ireland match.
Didn't have much help in the Colchester match from what I remember so hard to judge him off that. Wish we'd give him some minutes
he really didn't impress against them, taken off early in the second half I seem to recall, I think that pretty much ended his claims for first team football under Poch - at least that's the conversation I had at the time with someone there then.
lol - did you have the same conversation about Ndombele last week?
Within Jose's excellent Norwich press conference there was a couple of little snippets in the Troy conversation.
"We cannot tell you every detail"
"Taking care of a young boy in society, in life, in private life......and that is a process"
He did confirm he also needs to focus on his "football development" but would be on the bench again tomorrow. That's also why he only played 45 mins for U23's.
Rumours abound , no smoke without fire ?
Jose should shut his mouth. Protecting him yet every time he speaks he takes a swipe at him. Before now there was no problem but because he is now ready for some game time and because Jose keeps saying he is not ready he is now stuck. If he plays him and Troy is quality then Jose looks a twat . So he is now saying things that have nothing to do with football. No other coach has ever said anything bad about this lad. There has been some players in the past who have strayed but the manager has a word with them and not the press . I find it disgraceful
I do agree Jose should keep it in house mate.You being a ex player though I can understand your anger at a manager saying things about a player that should be kept in house.I want to ask you what would would have done.
