Also means there less of a concern now if Pratley were to pick up his tenth booking in the next month
If?!
Surely it's just a matter of when.
The only way Pratters won't get booked in February is if he doesn't play again until March.
Agreed, though against Fulham he never looked like getting booked which is the first time in a long while I've thought that. No surprise it coincided with Cullen's return.
An annoying number of his bookings (from memory) have been for dissent though.

Ah man. Why has misinformation become so frequent and consistent lately? First Bowyer wanted a contract at the end of the window, then he wanted it ASAP. We owned it lock stock, now we need to complete the training ground/Valley IIRC. Field was "fully fit" this morning and now Saturday is too early.
Maybe he'll be on the bench and maybe, he's a 10 minutes at the end sub - but reckon Bowyer wants to be really sure of his fitness before risking him. He's desperately needed for 16 other games this season.
Field will be on the bench, don’t think there’s much doubt there. I’m sure Bows would like to start him because if we want to match Barnsley’s diamond it means picking one of the kids in Gallagher’s former spot. I suspect that’s why he’s bemoaning him not being ready.
It could be just LB being cautious, will not be able to play all the players coming back from injury as most of them will not be able to play for too long and you can only have so many part fit players on the bench

Since there’s a chance the season could be postponed, is there a possibility that Field could play for us again, or have West Brom officially recalled him?

You have to chuckle at his comment about poor old Pagey
Indeed. But if they don't start playing again until June, July or whenever then surely Paige will be in the same boat as the rest of the squad, presuming he doesn't break his leg whilst making a cup of tea in the meantime.

Field probably not ready for Saturday
What's going on?

I agree that the contradictory messages are rather frustrating
Is that an April Fool's joke?
Lewis Page needs his luck to turn, get himself fit and back playing again ..... I'm sure we're all with him with that.
Persistant injury is a bugger, as anybody who has played competitively at any level will know. For a professional, it doesn't bear thinking about.
We we're with you, Pagey. Get fit and get the famous red shirt back on!
