    According to creepy Cawley he will be out for one Month. A huge blow for us as we have nothing upfront. Watt, Novak are both unfit. I know that Watt played on Saturday but I have got more stamina than he has and I am 62. I think Ajose will soon be off. I can't see where the goals are coming from.

    Terrible news. Not only because we don't have a replacement up front, we saw against Millwall how much we miss him in defense at set pieces. Never mind, work on the training ground has started again.

    Has to get someone in or change the system, such is the problem with small squads.

    Magennis' injury could be the turning point of our season. Note the phrase "at least 4 weeks". He is the one player in our squad who is literally essential, not only for his goals and long throws, but for his physicality and the way he holds the ball up [quite a contrast to his predecessor, Makienok].

    Any manager worth his salt would be demanding a like-for-like replacement in the transfer window - please don't bullsh1t us that Watt or even Hanlon can do a job, because they can't.

    Has Novak been injured or is he just unfit?

    And crap as super says. Amusing how some people go on about us beating championship sides to his signature. Common knowledge we offered a significantly higher wage than any other interested party.

    Novak - i realised he was awful and slow about 3 games into the season, when a lovely ball was played across the area into his path...about 6 yards out...begging to be buried...and Novak was still 3 yards away from it <doh>

    You tend to pick up more injuries when you are a slow, barrel chested lump of lard.

    He fell over a ball in a pre game warm up, subsequently he has been unavailable for over a month. Sums him up.

    Never understood why 'udders fans loved him when we used to do battle in large one.

    The only positive is I reckon a club will spend on him. Don't see him going on a free.

    Didn't Novak break his wrist Don ? [probably lifting a burger].

    An unfit Watt as a lone striker? Just can't see it.

    The choice is an unfit Watt or a lazy Ajose.

    I'd call Ajose a headless chicken rather than lazy. Is Igor still on our books?
