I’ve heard rumblings of the injury being more serious than 1st feared and could potentially be out for anything between 3 months or til end of the season. Dunno how true these rumblings are. Hoping some of you may have heard /read any info on this anywhere?

Yeah I never go to those clowns generally. Hoping it’s not another CB with an ACL injury.

I’ve heard the same stuff, very worrying if true and force to try one or two of da yoof. Don’t know enough about any of them to know if they’d be any good.
However at 56ys and 6’3” , I’ve kept myself in reasonable shape and could certainly do a job for 5 or 10 mins…although not keen on heading the ball if that’s ok..

Hopeful the get to show their qualities and stake a claim or uncle David might end up spending our January striker budget on a CB

All the rumours are pointing to a 4 month layoff.

When Oggy was diagnosed we were saying it's the one area we're ok for. Now it's not. I suspect Cresswell will be rushed back to play in a three in defence with Dawson and Diop but that leaves us no room for anything more at all even though we have some promising kids. At a stretch Kral has played there in the past.

So it has to be a loan and a permanent in January and at the very start of it as well.

I hope the groundwork is in process for it but if the dwarf's track record is anything to go by he'll be haggling over a tenner.

He can obviously play there but a no-no for me. He's too important for the general team system.

Maybe it's time to see how good Alese and Baptiste are until reinforcements are drafted in.
