[Behind Enemy Lines]

It's a good point, the club are being less than open about his injury. We should be told...

Didnt Bozza suggest 8 week. Perhaps the club are playing it close to their chest to avoid being gazumped on price of replacement either permenant or temporary.

Didn't see the 8 weeks mentioned but bad news if so. If true, we look badly short up front with only one misfiring senior striker who's fit enough to play for a full 90 minutes and just one more who can come off the bench to get us through the next 8 games until the window opens in January.

 

[Da Man Clay]

I've been told 8 weeks as well by someone close to the club. Amazed we haven't got someone in.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

No we shouldn't. It is better to keep these things a secret to stop teams predicting our line-up. Makes it harder for them to prepare.

Exactly. We are continually told of the 'fine margins'.

Keep them in the dark, unless it's obvious like Bong.

"I was delighted to be able to bring Bobby Zamora and Gordon Greer back into the team at Burnley; but Sam Baldock being out for a short period of time is a blow."

 

[BensGrandad]

Re post no 10 what is a short period of tiime, 8 weeks compared to Crofts injury is that short? Or is he talking next week or the week after who knows?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

An 8 week injury for Baldock means he is due back at the same time as Bong.

if you've heard that Lua Lua will be out for another 2 weeks then you're hearing differently to Hughton who said to the Argus after the match on Saturday that
"hopes to have LuaLua (groin) available for [Birmingham] for the first time since mid-September."

If I had to guess I'd say a short term injury would be one month max.

Disappointing if 8 weeks. I trust that the club will get someone in by Thursday, as guarranteed to be in the starting lineup. 7 games till January and will i believe firmly determine our season. Hopefully the recruitment team will have their targets sown up for beginning of January not the end.

I was speaking to a man in the know and he wasn't actually sure himself how long it would be - that's possibly why no time frame has been given

If were not sure how long he is out for we should assume a significant time, a striker on loan is a priority.
