Kitson back in full training. Or not.

Stranded · by **Stranded** » 14 Nov 2006 08:55

According to the EP today, Kitson is back in full training this week. He will be wearing a yellow bib for a couple of days which means the rest of the players can't go in hard with them but hopes to be taking a more usual part by Thursday.

Great news and hope it all goes well for him, could be back before Xmas if it does, will be like having a new signing when he's fully back.

Are footballers so stupid that they can't just be told "go easy on Kits"? Not that difficult, shirley.

BTW, good news!

Yep. Would imagine though it's just an extra precaution. If in the middle of a practice game I guess you are more likely to see a bright yellow bib first rather than clock who it is you are tackling.

They shood stick him in industrial bubble wrap and be done with it.
Hopefully he will get some run outs in the reserves before too long and then watch out prem.It`ll be like a new signing

great to see him back in full training, do feel sorry for him as he has probably missed is favourite game of the season (tottenham at home) as he is a spurs fan.

Godd luck Kits

The man has a day-glo head.

Top news BTW

Saw him in the hotel after the game Saturday and he was moving very gingerly (no pun intended) just standing up and sitting down.

I'll be surprised if he's back this year.

If everything goes to plan he could make an appearance at Fulham ?

No far too early. Expect a couple or so reserve games first.

Fulham at home maybe!

It'll be great to have Kits back but he has a history of breaking down during his comebacks so I just hope that they wait for him to be 100% before throwing him back into the first team. As much as we've missed him we have to him fit, not back in the team at 70% like previous seasons when he's looked off the pace and out of form when returning.

His recovery shouldn't stop the search for a new forward either.

Good point. Would be great to see him back but we don't want him breaking down again.

Just hope we do not rush him, better for him to come back in the New Year and finish the season, than come back early December and breakdown again after a few games.

It will be great to have him back,just like a new signing. Will take a lot of pressure off Doyle, I expect though at first Kits will start with Doyle then bring on Lita for Kits on the hour mark.

Quite right!

Excellent news, although we shouldn't rush him back.

He looked and sounded upbeat in Sahara's on Saturday night.

He'll be playing in 3 weeks judging by what he had to say.

Before the start of the season I thought Lita would prove more capable than Kitson in the Premiership, and doubted Kitson could hack it against top defenders.

Now I can't wait for him to come back.

C'mon Ginge!

I have to agree

, although I still have some hope left with Lita, I always thought he would be at his best feeding of a target man.

Kitson must have the best scoring ratio per-mins played

Cant wait for him to return, we miss his physical presence.
