    Hoping Dawson pulling out on Saturday was a precautionary measure rather than as a result of an actual injury. With Davies out already missing could this be a big concern going forward as we seem a bit short in cover for that department especially since Livermore and Bruce have departed.

    By all accounts we have a better balanced squad now & always have Moses & Mason as back up.

    Does anyone know what the **** is going on with Lenihan? Is he ever going to play again or do we just write him off?

    Not named in the 25 man squad and out of contract in the summer, I'll be amazed if we ever see him again.

    He's done a Dudgeon.

    It's a strange one, he played in an U23 game before Xmas, which was his first game back after a long time out and was quite good, then never saw him again. Can only assume he is injured again.

    I was talking to John Beale on Saturday I should have asked him.

    Dawson limped through the members bar at half time on Saturday, I think he's having a scan today.

    N'Diaye has played centre back in the past.

    Does anyone know what actually happened to Joe Dudgeon after we released him?

    I actually rated him and I'm pretty shocked he hasn't managed to find a club in at least League 1.

    Hudd could stand in there if necessary for the odd game, though we would miss him in midfield.

    Maybe rather than Dudgeon, he's done an Appleby.

    He never got over the injury, he's now working as a youth coach at Man City.

    He's on Man City's coaching staff I believe.

    Now you say that I do seem to remember him doing his coaching badges while injured I think? Pretty sure the club did a piece on him and a couple of the other lads doing them after a season had finished.

    He has spent more time with us injured than fit. Total waste of a signing.

    Huddlestone, Rosenior and Dudgeon did their coaching badges together.

    With Ranocchia we've got 4 proper centre halves and a couple of makeshift ones which I thought would be enough for most teams. It's unlucky that 2 of them are injured at the same time.

    Having said that, after the Fulham game, I'd happily never see Hudd at centre half again!

    Is there any option to get Alex Bruce back from his loan if we need to. Would rather have him as defensive back up than have to switch a midfield player in there. What's the ruling on a loan like this?

    No loan deals can be recalled outside of a transfer window.

    Could Meyler stand in? I'd hate to lose Huddleston in the middle.

    He (Lenihan) was certainly unlucky with his injuries but didn't he also have an illness that kept him out?
