Sad news for tommy elphic

[Publius Ovidius]

Just had a long chat with tommy up at the gym and his Achilles op was not successful and he has to go over to Finland to have it redone - By the guy who did beckhams.

He seems very positive but it must be a worry for him. I can't see him being back for a long time.

Shame for him and wish him all the best. Unfortunately he wouldn't get near the first team anyway

Why? Greer has been crap for at least a month. Wins no headers, is quite slow off the mark and has been distributing poorly.

A career in TV beckons.

Get well soon, Tommy.

There is zero chance of Elphick playing ahead of Greer or Dunk and with El-abd nearly back and Cook knocking on the door, Tommy is 4th/5th choice

Hope he's fit in time for next season , doubt he'll be playing for us though.

Let's get him fit and take it from there.

If their is one thing Tommy can do, its win a f***ing header!! something we don't seem to be doing all that often

You're right but according to his Twitter, he was in Stockholm in Sweden not Finland. The 'worlds best hakan alfredson, and for a weeks worth of rehab with him' is the quote.

Quite right Sir.
Must be gutting for Tommy to see local lads (probably mates as well); Dunk and Cook involved in games at The Amex.
Lets just support Tommy's rehab first before writing him off.

He said specifically Finland, but wherever it is having had a snapped acihilles myself, I really did wish him well

Lets hope he has a long long playing career.

Bad news. I saw him a few weeks ago and he thought he would be fit in 4 weeks. Great shame.

For all of their faults both Elphick and El Abd would have buried the headed chance that Dunk had yesterday with a clear free header at the goal from a a few yards out, that was a terrible miss.

Yeh and we would have conceded goals with Elphick. Sad news about his injury but he wold be nowhere near the first team if fit! Not sure what the relevance is with your post, maybe you think Dunk would nt be playing if the other 2 were fit?

 

[BensGrandad]

I think El Abd would be in front of him if fit but not Elphick.

I think it is Finland, that is where Beckham went to have his 'repaired'.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I'm really excited for El Abds come back, for some reason I've convinced myself he is the man with the muscle we need !!
