Just realised I made a typo. It would be a sprain and not strain. I thought that but then it looked like his ankle just was stretched.

The 37-year-old, who made 453 appearances as a City player, will be assisted by Alex Morris, Dean Whitehead and Darren Behcet." From the comments ... @PotterDave "Great decision from Walters and Coates he’s doing a great job with the U21s this season! Played 9 Drew 1 Won 0 Lost 8 ... ... I’m convinced they are on a wind up at this point."
Shawcross was decent but I fully expect big hoofball bully boy tactics from them tomorrow. Play it fast along the ground and I can see us getting at least 1 penalty to complement the other goals we will score.
Great thread again RTB. Thank you for your efforts. Always a Tricky game when a club sack the manager before our game. Will probably make them fight harder. We need to start a lot quicker than Blackburn. I'm still confident of an away win though. Haway the lads. Let's end 2024 on a high.
I stayed down after Blackburn so being picked up by Mike from Cornwall for Stoke. The Branch lads have their train tickets ready ... we're meeting up in the Hem Heath Cricket Club, Trentham Lakes N, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 4TN
He is mate, I should’ve made it clearer and thought this was the best thread atm … … he’s expected to be out for some time so won’t make our match on NYD. They’re saying nothing but my Sheff Utd relative says the rumours are that it’s serious.
Ready to set off with youngest son, with first stop middle son and 2 grandchildren then pick up oldest son and grandson just on outskirts of Darlington. HTL
He limped off near the end of the Blades defeat v Burnley and like Riggy it didn't look good for them.
