A great win but the injury list hasn't got any better, even worse when 2 of them are left-sided fullbacks. Any news on the severity of them yet?
andrew robertson @andrewrobertso5 29s30 seconds ago 2015 already has an up and down! Great result for the boys and a crucial 3 points! MRI scan tomorrow but nothing broken after the X-ray! Well, it isn't a break. Though sometimes a break can be better...
We only have Brady and Figgy in the squad that can play LB. Neither are ideal in a flat back 4. If Robbo and Rosey face fairly lengthy lay-offs I expect we'll move sharply in the transfer window for a left sided defender.
Apparently it's a hamstring injury with Rosey. He looked like he was in agony when he went down so I reckon it must be a bad tear, which could be months. Robertson seemed less severe to me. Here's hoping.
Figueroa was ok in the WC at CB, but I just wouldn't play him at all, he has a mistake every game, not worth it at this level, possibly left mid, but still woudln't
Brady is good defensively as a full back IMO, better than Robertson is. Remember that SAF was playing him as LB in Man Utd's pre-season and planned to develop him as a defender.
I was above him when it happened, and I thought he'd broken his leg at first. Reminded me of a Chev Walker leg break suffered at Leeds for Hull KR a few years ago.
Pretty sure I saw Dudgeon there today was sat with Dawson, Hudd and the other players not in the squad. Maybe a possibility think eas just a half season loan and maybe his last chance.
Dudge has been a bit in and out of the team at Barnsley hasn't he? How's Max Clark doing in the ressie's. Is he ready for a chance?
Not ready to play in the Premier League every week, but he's doing really well with the stiffs, I'd give him a go against Arsenal. It's weird, we've had 3 left backs out on loan this season in Townsend, Figueroa and Dudgeon, it's probably the one position we're best covered. I don't think we can re-call Townsend as it's a season long loan, depends on his loan deal but it was part of the A-Bob deal. We could recall Dudgeon, I think his is just an ongoing emergency loan deal.
It would be nice to see Clark at least on the bench, if our worst injury fears come true. Shame Lenihan is injured too.
Lenihan can't be that far away, he was doing the crossbar challenge so he's back in full training at least.
