    Cirkin returns and he is automatically replaced in the physio room.
    This is literally the way its been all season, you couldnt make it up.

    Doubt it. He's played a total of about 10 mins senior football when he came on for Cirkin v Millwall.
    Having said that, can't do any worse than to give him a shot

    If Mowbray deems that he isn't ready then it makes even more of a mockery to send Wright out on loan

    Absolutely rotten luck with injuries, all season long.

    Yeah, said in the other thread at the time it would be 2 weeks on the good end. Shame.

    I thought that when he came on against Millwall. Tall enough but just needs to bulk up a bit.

    I think that was a case of us being loyal to the player...which I'm pleased about....gave him a chance to get regular games and keep him in the shop window as he comes to the last couple of top flight seasons.

    Which s sall well and good, but we are playing a midfielder at CB on Friday now, and potentially a right winger at LB. I'm all for the club doing right by players (Jordan Willis/Corry Evans) but not when it weakens the team and the dressing room

    They probably felt they had cover....injuries could not be forseen. Anyway, Luke is ok at CB.

    At least it’s not the usual ‘out for the rest of the season’ that our key players are getting. (Latest, Bennette out for rest of season)

    We’re safe and will miss the playoffs so it’s not so important.

    Let’s hope those in charge will learn something from all our injuries and how to improve the situation.

    We might even find some of the replacements are revelations, just like Trai Hume, when given a chance because of all our injuries.
