I've heard rumours from a couple of different sources that BZ is more than likely out for the rest of the season. Here's hoping we can get over the line with the options remaining.

BZ injury
- Thread starter Brian Fantana
- Start date
I would guess that would be retirement then?

It does appear very weird that he has suddenly not featured for a while.
I know he is getting on a bit but he isn't exactly ancient and was never exactly known for his blistering pace.
Is it just a case of him not looking after himself during his career and therefore having to be looked after a bit better? Or does he have some underlying issue?

If it's a fact i think you may be right, he is not young in footballing terms and has had his fair share of injuries in the past, if so lets hope he (with the team) finishes on a massive high!!
If there were any truth in this RUMOUR, for me resigning BZ would have to count as a failure.
A very expensive failure if the team don't get over the line, in May.
Fingers crossed this is wrong as he's only an important goal or two away from being a massive success.

Not sure I'd agree with that. 7 goals, all of which were key.

Just saying like, still love Bobby Z, but there seems to be an acre between him and Bruno when it comes to longevity.

And each one amazing.
But signing BZ has already lead to one period of time where Tomer has had to be flogged like a dead horse.
With another one approaching.
I'd wonder if you, and I'm sure many others, would be so keen to defend Mr A Striker.
As said I don't think there's much in it.
We're all waiting for 'the' goal
Which let's face it, scoring 'that' one could be his first of the season and his signing would still be a success.
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
The official line is that he took a knock in training. Until I hear otherwise, that's it.
It wasn't that long ago against Huddersfield, where he headed a corner away, ran the full length of the pitch, and finished expertly in a great move.
Since then, I haven't seen any bad tackles that would have caused him many problems. So, puzzling to me why he is not in the shape that he was a few months ago, and at least free to come on from the bench.

Probably went out on the lash with Leon Knight.
He was clutching his side a bit against Wednesday and we haven't seen him since.
But the indications were that he'd be back soon and was close for Burnley, so maybe he had a slight setback.
I'm still confident we'll see him again and maybe for Forest or Fulham.
Seven goals from BZ represents a successful re-signing, IMHO.

How soon is now?
His 7 goals have all had some significance, and so in that respect his re-signing has been a success. The club always knew he was fragile and have done well to get some quality(not quantity) game time from him. At present its just rumour, and nothing more....
The team have won so many games by the odd goal, just about every goal scored by every player has been significant.
We'd have a lot fewer points without the contributions from our second top scorer!

If a player is injured, even if the club deny it, there is *always* a rumour that they are thus out for the rest of the season. Always.

Of course. Without Bobby's 7 goals though we'd be about 12 points worse off. A fair few of those I'm pretty confident none of or other strikers would have scored. Not sure he could be considered a failure.
