Can't believe he's going to be out for 4 months. This guy must be made of glass.

A total liability, and not THAT good when fully fit.

it's hard to know if MD is up to it as we never see him for long enough. he's obviously got talent but is notoriously anonymous during many games.
nice opportunity for Vela to switch into midfield. not exactly short of options there although quality is debatable. Danns and Spearing still faves to keep the deeper roles, but Pratley could shift back there if Clayton retains his place on that left side of attacking mid . or Medo in, or even Trotter

Not sure about Trotter, just doesn't look up to it.

nor me, WJ, but i'm prepared to stay open minded and see if NL can work his magic. it doesn't work on all of 'em. e.g Beckford.. you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink.. or score

The lad is talented no doubt about that but any player who is forever getting injuries is a liability, a shame which is the only word I can find for Mark

We have to learn to manage our injured players better. Seems to me that our players always take longer to get fit again than the original published estimate - never return ahead of scheduled. Should have sold when (allegedly) Swansea came calling last year.
Wheater is the next to examine. A "bad back" is often thought to be the convenient injury malingerers get. If his back is weak, it will always be under strain as a centre half. I'm sure he's missed more games than he's played in. Need to sell (if there are any buyers) to recoup some of our investment.
Also need a improve our pre-signing medical, be more selective in who we take on and look at the success of the current backroom staff in keeping players fit and preventing injury. A high tempo / intensity playing strategy will find any weak points in the current players fitness.

Also looks like we won't see Tierney this season.
