Mowbray mentions he’s going to be a long term signing and he needs to develop physically so don’t think we’ll see loads of him this season, does look on the skinny side for a centre half mind

Did we get any definitive news on Stewarts injury? I’d imagine the length of time he is out will play a major role today
 
As the massive lads fan William Shakespeare once famously said:

“To sign Simms, or not to sign Simms. That is the question.”

Scan won’t be till today or tomorrow I reckon. We’ll get official confirmation from Mowbray in his pre-match conference.

EXCL: Ross Stewart will be out until the end of the season, following a scan on his Achilles.
HOWEVER, the injury isn’t as bad as first feared. Only a 30% partial tear — not a full rupture as first thought.
The Sunderland striker will be back for full pre-season training [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

Stewart is very positive with the diagnosis. Initial fears were he could be out for 18 months. Instead it’s only 4 months on the sidelines for the 26-year-old.
Stewart will have operation in London this week, and begin rehab in a fortnight [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

Looks like he needs a good meal or two, hopefully another shrewd transfer by the club.

As good as it gets for that type of injury. Rehab will still be super important.

Agree. Demoralising for the fans and for these young players. I'm all for us going up,but we have to be ready. Having been through all those years of fighting at the bottom,I'm not ready for that again.I'm not going to be happy watching our young players get taken apart by City,Utd,Mags etc.etc. £200m or no £200m.
I'm really enjoying my football again watching this team at the minute and I think we can build on it,but we need to be careful what we wish for. For me,doing a Forest is not an option. Imo,our support is always brilliant,but it's extra brilliant currently because of the exciting football we're seeing.
Ideal for me would be that we just miss out this season,recruit as we have been for the squad strengthening in the summer,seeing our young players improving exponentially and take this league by storm next season,then adding the two or three bits of extra class improvements necessary to sustain a solid PL place.When we go up,we need to be able to properly compete.That's when we reap the benefits of the £200m......spending it wisely to improve,not to firefight.

I can never get behind hoping we lose to be honest. I'd rather we go up and see how we get on. We could/should have beaten Fulham at the weekend and they're top half Prem right now. Also bearing in mind how young our squad is and how quickly they appear to be learning, we might be plenty good enough to hold our own by next year.

Also, if we don't get go up it massively increases the risk of Neil / Michut / Ballard etc. getting poached by a Prem team.

Lock him in a room with a pen and contract while he can’t run off!

probably as good news as we could have hoped for
