Not good news at all. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19720177 Haynes and Smith need to be ready to rock.
Looks like we opened threads simultaneously Tewks. Can they be merged? Otherwise ignore mine. I'm now officially depressed.
We were really lucky with injuries last season. Even when they looked like an issue (eg Stephens in November), the team somehow came out stronger from the situation. I guess that luck has changed. Hope Haynes and Smith are up for it, and Fuller will be fit enough.
That's true we were incredibly lucky last season. I thought it was our new medical team , but there you go, **** happens and we've got reserves, that's what they're there for so no loanees please- it's not an emergency.
Maybe signing Emil Heskey wasn't such a stupid idea after all! Its really bad news but i didn't think it will be as bad as you think. I don't expect us to go up or down this season. If it gives smith some game time and he develops as a result it could even he a blessing in the long term.
