How's Charlie?

[227 BHA]

Can't see it mentioned on here as to what Charlie's injury was and hoe long he'll be out for?

 

[1066gull]

Oh, he was on SCR and he was arriving back from hospital I think.

Says hes looking forward to the Oatway v Ince battle.

 

[poke]

post match comment says it isn't serious

 

[sir danny cullip]

They were worried at first because he had the same sensation as when he had a serious neck injury before. He had an operation before and was worried it was the same injury but thankfully it isn't. Sounded upbeat on SCR.

Cheers guys - good news then

 

[Tory Boy]

I saw him come out of the RSCH and apart from looking a bit stiff he seemed fine.

TB

 

[Wardy]

That's good news. Would have been a shame if that was a serious injury, I didn't get time to abuse him enough.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Thank god, a certain individual was talking about him having a neck vunerable to Paralysis if it was injured again.....

Charlie Oatway

 

[Basil Fawlty]

That's good news. Would have been a shame if that was a serious injury, I didn't get time to abuse him enough.

It was very worrying but i'm glad he is ok, but i don't think we should risk him for the Wolves game on Tuesday night.

Our midfield lost a lot of bite when he was subbed.
Up to that point I really believed we were going to win the game.

I am so relieved it isn't serious.

I thought Nicholas was good in the middle of park for Charlie, got in every tackle, chased back, work hard and passed the ball.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

I thought Nicolas worked hard and got a few good tackles and passes in. Overall though neither of the centre midfielders were that involved today as so much of our play was down the flanks, and much of Ipswich's was over the top.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

I think Oatway gave us shape, and without him Hammond and Nicolas were a bit all over the place

 

[Beach Hut]

Funnily enough we did look better when he was on the field.

Is McShane injured ?

 

[1066gull]

I bloody hope not!

Carpenter, Dodd, Oatway, Blayney, Hinshelwood, Kuipers.......

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

McShane had a tightness in the hamstring and was taken off as a precaution.

As for missing Charlie, the change in the game was more them bringing on Magilton and not Charlie going off. Magilton used his experience to drag Hammond out of position and made him less effective.

I thought that too. They were ready to bring him on before Oatway was injured.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Jakey was at Hove dogs tonight. I asked him about Charlie and he said it was a trapped nerve, not nearly as serious as it looked, and that he should be available for Tuesday.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Spoke to Charlie this afternoon and his neck is still very stiff and he is going for an X Ray tomorrow and doesnt hold out much hope of being available for Tuesday

It didn't make much of a difference - if anything, Nicolas was an improvement, his passing was more consistent and he scrapped and tackled as well as Oatway.

Relieved he's okay though; it looked really serious when he was being taken off.
