Will be out for a few games. Scan come back well. Gonna miss next couple of games but hope to be back to help the team after that. Bad contact injury. Hard work starts again.
I make it we have 14 uninjured outfield players now. That means if the whole squad turns out for the Shrewsbury match we will have five players on the bench again. Two midfielders, two forwards and Maynard-Brewer. Not much room for squad rotation when the tin-pot Cup games come around...
Assume Sarr plays tomorrow This was always going to be a problem - many of our regulars are also career sicknotes. How long will Solly & Page last?
Even though they are playing it down, it doesn't sound good. Pearce has had an injection in his knee, a knee he has damaged before. They are treating it with rest but it might require an operation.
Knee problems do tend to recur. THat's what finished Rufus and Rowett one after the other. Our back 4 is about to become porous.
Djiksteel can play right back, although I remember one performance at Bristol Rovers Away last season where he was not brilliant in that position. Sarr can play across the back 4 - badly. Have we got anyone else on Avory’s conveyor belt ?
Yeo looked decent when he played alongside Konsa, no idea how he's progressed since then. Dick knows more than me. We let Barnes go, I thought he was OK at RB, but we played him at LB. Euell's side has been doing well, Bowyer will have to ask him who's ready.
Kenneth Yao can play right back and central defence. Jamie Mascoll can play left back and left midfield as can Alfie Doughty. Shaun Cummings is a big unit but he doesn't seem to be rated by Lee Bowyer. Bowry has gone out on loan. Ryan Blumberg is a decent centre half, who has also can play left back, at a pinch. But they all are not ready, apart from Jamie Mascoll.
Steer will start in goal tomorrow... it's what we do now at Charlton... play the loan keepers I am guessing Steer will be as good as Amos was last term.
The 4th consecutive year our first choice car had been a loan apparently ? Rudd ...Amos....Steer ...who else ?
There was a rumour he would be offered a coaching role, but that he couldn't be a player coach as that takes up a squad place.
