    Been impressed with what I have seen of him too.
    Very comfortable on the ball.
    And his keenness to get back and work for the team, has cost him.
    Double break as well I think.

    If it's a totally clean break he could be back in 3 months, massive long shot that he'd be anywhere near ready for a World Cup though.

    Gutter for the lad.

    Did you watch the game?
    Really strange, stuck his leg in from behind to stop the player shooting and took the full force.
    He didn't seem to react in pain just grabbed his leg and it flopped to the side. :(
    Right bummer for the lad.

    Double break doesn't sound good like. Both clean breaks? Playing the odds. Such a shame for the lad, I fear the worst for the poor fella.

    same, he's 100% missed the world cup, he's been a great player this season

    ramsey took almost 2 years to fully recover from his injury, it's not the pyschical aspect it's the mental which imo is worse... i hope he recovers, but it's going to be a long a gruelling recovery time

    Agreed. It could be a career ending break. :(

    agreed, it's sad, he's shown great potential and it's always sad when a guy get's such a horrific injury, i expect atleast 2 years out football... regardless of money and all that bollocks, i feel bad, i loved watching him play... costa rica in englands group and all that

    Dont get me wrong im happy to be in the next round and a win is a win

    However its just as said in a couple of comments its the way we went about winning, we got all the way to the box and then completely stopped and passed back

    I know this is Poyets style, to slowly break teams down however everytime we made the wrong decision

    A lot of them had the chance to prove why they should be in and around the first team, dont think any of them made any sort of statement

    Sorry but I just don't find your argument persuasive.

    That's it right there. we cannot play him anymore as a striker for our own sakes and his. If we cannot fit him in to the system I would send him out on loan to the MLS, so he can get some confidence back and prepare for the world cup. I don't think Whickham is the answer but he looks more capable of scoring goals in that position, but we defo need other options up front.

    A team of strangers played without teamwork, big deal.

    BTW, I thought Kidderminster were a disgrace.

    The romance of the cup?

    FFS, I've seen more romance in a prostitute's bum crack <doh>

    Working girl if you don't mind Smug.
    Prostitute is a horrible derogatory word.

    No mate, I don't deserve to. I only been too five home games this season & not a single one cost me a penny.
    Those folk who go home & away have to have first dabs.
    Even if I did come by one, I'd offer it to somebody who deserved it more than me.

    Simple really facts change opinions..Johnson was playing rubbish and I wanted him sold..however he has found some form and we should hang onto him. Dozy has never shown form, Catts can be great one game and in the next game be awful (as in gift Vile a goal, or get red carded). Its all about how they perform on the pitch
