Sochaux & Steady: Davies will win the race (The Saga Continues) [R]

I hope that his stint at DCU was shaking off rust and getting his body conditioned again because if that is the extent of his recovery he will not have a chance at Sochaux. Also, I hope that the deterioration that appeared to occur during the season was just his body getting used to the new stressors and not insight into his bodies inability to recovery quickly. Either way, I wish him the absolute best and will be pulling for him each and every day.

 

This. Absolutley brilliant post.

I hope we see the real CD9 again.

 

He tweeted today that he was there for training.
I hoped for more from him at DCU (as a DC and USMNT fan), but I hope for the best for him even though I don't have particularly high expectations this time.

 

Davies is put in the first team squad of 25 players for some sort of training session on the French Mediterranean coast this week. The manager will select at most 18 players for the trip to Corsica to face Bastia in the French Cup on Saturday.

Another French media article on Davies, which emphasizes how disappointing Sochaux's striker corps has been this year and that his return could be useful.

My Google Translate overview of the French media on Davies is indicating that they are taking an optimistic view of his performance in MLS last year.

 

That means that the French media read his goal totals.

Sochaux looks like they need all the help that they can get, being in second-to-last.

 

Davies has been assigned #12 and gave a short interview for the English version of Sochaux's site.

wow that was really really short lol

good luck to him. His confidence is a huge part of him and the reason he is where he is today. Hopefully he can come back strong at Sochaux

 

Aarhus is interested apparently:

Davies is not in the squad for the Cup game at Bastia. He will play in a reserve game Sunday.

No surprise -- thanks.

 

Ligue 2 contenders SC Bastia smashed Sochaux in the Coupe de France today, 4-1.

The only Sochaux goal was scored by a defender.

 

Looks like Davies will definitely be getting a shot soon.

 

Either that or they will buy a forward during the window.

 

Thread reboot?

 

I say we wait to see if Charlie is in Sochaux plans this year.

He played a half in a 1-0 reserve loss today:

It's tough to score when your team doesn't score.

 

You think thats tough....Dude you should try evolving into a chicken back before there were eggs!

 

Sochaux's star striker Mobido Maiga is on Mali's 27 man preliminary squad for the African Cup of Nations. If selected, the earliest he could return to Sochaux would be February 2.

Lack of scorers and their main 1 gone for at least 3 weeks, the stars are aligning for Davies to make his return. Good luck to him.

 

Davies apparently had a strained thigh this week and thus has not been included in the squad for the game at St Etienne this weekend. He will feature in the reserve game apparently.

Can we work 'strained credulity' into the new thread title?
