Great shame for Toth 

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I’d initially heard it could be a long-term setback, so it’s a relief that things aren’t quite as bad. The international break definitely works in our favour.

One encouraging sign is Pears’ eagerness to get on the pitch the moment the injury occurred. That kind of hunger shows he’s driven to play and likely keen to silence any critics. He clearly sees himself as the rightful number one, so let’s hope his performances back that up.

It also works in his favour that he can now focus on preparing to start matches rather than warming the bench each week. I imagine he’ll be buzzing in training, full of confidence. 

Saying that, let's hope Toth returns quickly and injury free. He's been brilliant so far and hopefully continue his form when he's back.

There was some speculation it's his meniscus and if there is a tear in it then surgery is required.

I have had three such operations and was back running from one of them in the days but the others were a bit longer.

It sounds like the same procedure Weiman had last season and he was, from memory a few weeks.

I am reminded of what Kenny Dalglish said to Guy Havord, when he was being quizzed about Shearer's hepatitis..

"What? Are you a doctor now, all of a sudden?" Hahaha

I might be wrong but didnt Weimann get injured in the Norwich game which I think was early March, and he was not fit enough to start pre season on time.

That was kind of my point. Out of the three I had one was 10 days but the others were longer.

I recall Ally McCoist coming back within two weeks after a meniscus tear.

Everyone is different with regards to recover. I'm hoping Toth is a quick healer.

Ally McCoist suffered a meniscus tear (a common type of knee cartilage injury) during his playing career, and famously returned to action in less than two weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery for it.

Ismael has said that Toth is out for 12 weeks.

Dreadful news.

I thought he said 4 to 8 weeks but could be wrong

Quote from the manager is "at least 12 weeks". I dont like the at least bit!

Bloody hell, it gets worse

Well that's us fucked then.

Disaster for us and Toth. Pears suddenly taken off the transfer list, I assume.

Really bad news, really glad we’ve banked the 9 points recently.

I don't rate Pears but he’s a below average championship keeper rather than an abysmal one. Protect him and it may be ok. Bloody long time though and bound to cost us some points.
