Tommy Elphick out for season (merged)

[Gritt23]

Oh no, that's dreadful news. We mustn't think Hinshelwood, and must stay hopeful that the second operation (have the club confirmed this yet, or is it just Naylor?) is a complete success and he's back for next season.

Stay positive Elf.

Tommy's tweet
Thanks for the wishes, waiting for the results of test fingers crossed not to bad #frustrating but in the best hands, great medical team!

He wasn't good enough for us in league one. Gonna be nowhere near championship standard.

Certainly looked better than Joel Lynch who has gone on to have a very good Championship career.

 

[Hiney]

He's just tweeted: "Ruptured due to poor original surgery - devastated"

Nightmare for him

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

That's crap news. All the best Tommy

 

[Hotchilidog]

One carthorse tackle in a meaningless end of season game, what a terrible break for Tommy. Gutted for him.

 

[The Large One]

I don't see why Elphick dropping out means we suddenly need cover, Elphick rarely if ever cut it at L1 level.

You really are becoming an unpleasant, spiteful, nasty piece of shit, aren't you? Feel free to f*** off any time you're ready.

All the best to Tommy.

 

[Napper]

Shame for him. Top lad

There was no 'carthorse tackle'. There was no opposition player within 5 yards of Tommy when he went down. Simply one of those things.

Poor lad must be in bits.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Gutted for him. Genuinely seems like a pleasant chap and quite clearly highly thought of being the PFA representative.

Brilliant to see him geeing up the crowd in only his third or fourth appearance.

He has time on his side to get fit and also build on his performances thus far.

Elphick out

Just read on BBC sport site that he needs a 2nd operation and he'll miss the season.
