Did his hamstring in

 

[BensGrandad]

Did he do the hamstring in the same leg or was it the other leg. I thought that I heard on the radio that it was the other leg.

the club medical staff have to be asked some questions if same leg - clearly bringing him back too early.

That's a shame for the guy - hope its just a pull

He was probably keen to play fair play to him,the sicknotes we have signed could take a leaf out of his book

I didn't see him actually pull up. All I saw was him sit down on the ground and look really dejected. El Abd was stripped off immediately and came on to replace him, so all that suggests to me that it was a recurrence of his original injury. A real shame for him. Hope he recovers soon.

He's been very lucky with injuries up until now hasn't he. Ever present ever since being originally brought in on Loan a couple of seasons ago I think ?

Nothing personal against him, but that was the greatest blessing of the game. El-Abd is class, and if most defenders are fit in the future, Painter shouldn't be getting anywhere near the starting lineup.

Looked more like it was a precaution, he seemed to walk off ok.

El Abd played well today. My biggest concern over Painter is his lack of pace - in this division it seems to me he gets skinned a bit too often - Bristol City away being the obvious example where Albert Adomah rang rings round him. Having said that, El Abd has been found out for pace on occasions this season too. No one from Peterborough today would have troubled either of them though. If I really had to choose between the two I'd go for El Abd because he's a player who you feel will die for the cause, and he's versatile enough to play anywhere across the back.

Yes, I believe I caught him tarmacking my drive earlier...hmmm

It was his other leg according to the radio

Good call. I certainly didn't see him pull up in the classic way a hamstring goes and he did walk off ok. The dejected look though suggests that it was the old injury come back, so perhaps a tweak and he just knew it would eventually go again if he carried on playing?

El-Abd did well today with Barnes working very well down the left but he cannot by any stretch of the imagination be called a left back. Hope Painter gets fit soon, he must be really frustrated.
