Yeah right. Or we misdiagnosed the injury initially causing a more serious injury to occur. (Same thing seems to have happened to Kargbo according the LT report on him reproduced above)

This is absolutely unreal if true.Is everything and everyone transpiring against us?

Simple answer really the player got a significant injury in training within the last 5 days

❤️❤️

hows the weather up their? Wouldnt be surprised to see rovers get it called off if lots of rain to scupper the boycott efforts. Im not attending, Im not making the long drive up,. If I was Val Think you need to go back to what any experience you have and try to play to whatever strengths we might have. If I could pick form current available, think id go: Toth Pickering Oriodran McLoughin Ribeiro Forshaw Tronstad Yuki Baraji cantwell(would tell cantwell hes playing) jorgensen

Baradji has come from a lesser quality league and a long injury lay-off so probably needs a bit of time to adapt. Has looked great in spells, but also large spells have been frustrating, but I think at the moment our only defensive sound midfielder is Tronstad and he can't carry the whole team by himself. I think I would scrap the 3-5-2 for now, seeing as we're not playing Alebiosu anyway. Put Pickering or Ribeiro back in the team and let Atcheson play RB, with McLoughlin and O'Riordan as CB's. That will give us extra support in the middle, and we can play de Neve in a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 with good support, and same with Jørgensen on the other flank. Tronstad, Baradji and Forshaw as CMs.

If there's any truth in Mercer's rumour that's not really the main concern is it? How can we diagnose a player as out for 2 weeks one minute and out for the rest of the season 6 days later?

Congrats on the new role @Herbie6590 👏🏻

It's not like we haven't had an excessive amount of injuries since then. It may have stepped up a notch this season, but it isn't the first time we have wondered if something is fundamentally wrong causing this many injuries.

Behind a paywall. Can anyone with access copy and paste please.

Maybe not to this extent but we had a load of injuries under JDT and around Christmas last season loads were out

Joseph haven't scored this season for the U21s. He has 6 or 7 appearances. Neither has Dlamini. I would also like to see Joseph before Dlamini, but in fairness none of them are probably ready.

Proctor been head of medical since 2021 so it’s unlikely they’re responsible for the sudden amount of injuries

Makes no sense unless it's a new injury. Rovers Instagram on 9th January clearly showed him back on the grass "stepping up the recovery" in training. No club gets this level of injuries. This isn't bad luck at all.

Wouldn't surprise me if they rushed him back or pushed him too much to get him back and he broke down with something worse. They're only excuse for our situation is that we have injuries, they'll be desperate to get him back.

If he is out for the season then it's full panic mode IMO. We won't be able to get a good replacement in, partly because we're Venky Rovers, partly because everyone else knows we're now Venky Panic Rovers and will stick an extra million on any asking prices. If Gudjohnsen is out longer, we're going down aren't we?

Not doubting Mercer's source but that would be a U turn of epic proportions from the Club. On the 17th of Jan (6 days ago) Ismael was quoted as saying in the LT Gudjohnssen would be in contention to play on the 31st of Jan v Hull City! Questions need to be asked if they've got it that wrong.

Have to agree gudjohnsen being available was our realistic hope of staying up if he is out for the season then we are in for a lonnnng spring Unfortunately plays right into their hands itl be the reason and excuse even though we all know dreadful/slow/lack of recruitment plus a poor manager in the real reason

A huge blow if proven correct. Yuri has been run into the ground - at risk, IMO, from longer term injury. Think we now need 2 more decent strikers to give us even half a chance.

I think I need to make my sarcasm more obvious.
