hello yappy The latest news on Mbia is very good, he is expected to be fit for our game at Wigan next week
Here's the latest from the fellow himself: https://twitter.com/StephaneMbia/status/274984271771492352/photo/1 More fear than pain! Little neck issue but nothing serious ! #QPR pic.twitter.com/SEBjolbh
Less an embarrassment, more that we were having a good spell of pressure. He could have hobbled off the field, sought attention and allowed us to carry on pressing. Instead he hobbled for a minute then sat down, we played the ball out of touch, and handed the initiative back to Villa who then sat back and passed it around for 3-4 minutes. In itself it's a small point, but much like the Dave Brailsford mentality, these little things all add up.
If that's true, I think it was down to the Bench - pretty sure they wanted him to try and run the injury off.
