The Everton loanee damaged his groin in the 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa at the Stadium of Light and was subbed in the first half. It has now been confirmed he has suffered a similar groin injury to Darron Gibson with the injury keeping Browning out for the rest of the campaign. LIVE Chris Coleman press conference ahead of QPR v Sunderland Chris Coleman currently has one fit centre half in Lamine Kone, with John O'Shea a doubt for the weekend. Marc Wilson is injured and Jake Clarke-Salter will serve the third and final game of his ban. Coleman said:"The players we have, Ty Browning will be out for the rest of the season with his groin, he has done exactly the same as Darron Gibson - that is a blow. "Sheasy is doubtful whether he will be available. We are probably looking at one natural centre half in Lamine. "Paddy McNair is not available and Jake is serving the final game of his ban, we have what we have got. "Whoever it is, give what you have got and don't be afraid of it. We can get a win, we have to believe that. "We are restricted in some areas but we have to perform. "We have to try different things and personnel. "The players we have fit, whoever we use, have to be ready and play the game like they may not play the next one - unless they are very good. "On the back of Tuesday night it is inevitable there will be changes. "We are looking at it saying how can we get a spark, a revival?" On Gibson, Coleman confirmed he is still at least three weeks away from a return. Coleman added: "At best he will be back in a month, best case scenario, three weeks to a month. "Saturday to Saturday would be a big ask for him."
No worries we have a future England international CB to fill in... Step forward Jack the Jelly fish Rodwell.
Shame Beadling wasn't rated good enough by the clubs intelligentsia to be given a chance last time we were desperate. Might have come in handy now, we will never know. As we will never know why Fletcher gets the nod over Maja, or the three stooges over Max, or Cattermole over Honeyman for that matter. Who knows, who cares.
Wonder who decided to extinguish the Sunderland careers of highly rated Beadling and Ledger at CH and Robson and Greenwood. I can't forgive those responsible who are destroying my club. Will our youngsters be able to handle the physicality of league 1 as that's where we are surely heading if we lose on Saturday.
Its all about building confidence as well, it appears to me that those brought in are given priority over our own, when really it should be the other way round, unless they are significantly better players then they are hindering not furthering progress and should only be used competitively as back up to what we have. Just as Watford have done with N'Dong, albeit on a different level.
Exactly this is part of the reason we are suffering through this loan system - we play them regardless of how they play. If they do well we never see them again at the end of the loan as they leave. If they do less well we continue playing them to the detriment of our own young promising players who need to be given an opportunity. Until we are brave and play these younger promising players we are always going to be doomed to the lower leagues - if they are not good enough in the first team fine but some will be good enough and that is not fine - a waste of an academy imo.
Play Galloway C?B, he is not a left back and Gooch at R/B. It's simple Bri, they won't be worse than who's there and will put a shift in. Drove past the Northern Echo Arena today and thought this could be us soon... sent shivers down me spine
Couldn’t care less. There all ****ing ****e, out for season means we have slightly less ****e so as a technicality we are improved by this. There’s some positive spin right ****ing there.
