    Norwich fan here, interested whether you have any cover for his position?

    Is Tate a LB?

    Seriously bad luck

    Tate has played LB in the past along with Jazz Richards, but Ben Davies seems to be laudrups favoured choice to replace him although he has only made 3 competitive appearances thus far

    So unfortunate for Neil Taylor looked like on of the top left backs in the prem last season and started well again, wish him a speedy recovery

    Good luck to him. Let's all hope he heals well and quickly.

    Great opportunity for young Davies to take his chance.

    This is a blow to say the least! The LB position back to haunt us again, hope Laudrup doesn't bring in Tate, he's way off Premiership standard, and I don't think we have the quality cover either, not sure on Ben Davies. Let's see how Laudrup deals with this issue!..............<ok>

    I'm absolutely gutted for him! It does seem ben davies is favoured for the LB position and seems a promising lad... But I don't really know about using him for the whole season... I hope Davies proves me wrong and steps up, because this will be great for his development.

    Bad news for Neil and bad news for us. Laudrup will probably send him a "Get Well Immediately" card! :smile:

    I hope the lad makes a full recovery with no repercussions. I wonder if ML will go shopping in January. I suppose he will unless he finds we are doing ok without Taylor.

    Well gutted for Taylor and hope he fully recovers from this terrible injury,Maybe Swansea could trawl Eurpoe to see if there's any out of contract LB's..

    I think Ben Davies and Jazz Richards are more than capable cover for Neil Taylor. Looks like Ben has the edge at the moment. But I would be comfortable to see either player in that slot.

    I thought Ben Davies looked very comfortable indeed yesterday. Also doesn't Kyle Bartley play anywhere across the back 4?

    If he's in Morriston he'll be lucky to get out alive. MRSA rates there are frightening.

    With Chico out for 3 games too, looks like we'll see Bartley in our back line up, though is Caulker getting games at Spurs?...................<ok>

    What about Situ?

    Same stats as Chico, if Bartley can play anywhere on the back line surely he could go left back
