March's knee

I'll have some of his avatar.

She don't look like that now....."she's got a pie in her pocket" is a bit nearer the mark.

The physio can't assess much in 2 minutes on a pitch; it's all down to what the player tells him at the time.

Yep ,give me 5 mins and I'll be in for a shower

Being pessimistic, he's resting with his leg raised. Would that not be standard form until the whole thing's calmed down enough to be properly assessed? Not sure it means anything positive.

They've only just moved in, according to the tweet.

I bet the Christmas presents around the tree are empty boxes just done up to look good probably a pair of cuff links.

If that were the case, you would still expect to see the knee immobilized. Of course, the actual picture could well have been taken before Saturday!

 

[TSB]

Heard it's cruciate.

That would be very bad news....out for the rest of the season then?

 

[Megazone]

Heard it's cruciate.

Massive shame. He'll be out for long time.

 

[Braggfan]

Not having plaster on in that photo isn’t necessarily good, as you wouldn’t be in plaster for cruciate ligament. BUT you probably would be in a leg brace, which he’s not wearing. I’d hope that that’s a good sign.

Did Andrew Crofts have the same injury? The good thing in Solly's case is that he is young so possibly easier to rectify

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Heard it's cruciate.

I think it's crucial we find out if it's a cruciate don't you?

 

[LlcoolJ]

Oh shit.

 

[BensGrandad]

All the more reason to sign Van La Parre, for which I would be quite happy, either on extended loan or permanent.

Indeed, just what I've been saying on other threads. Are you reading this Chris?

 

[BensGrandad]

Somebody did suggest we have him on loan with an option to buy. I hope so.

 

[LlcoolJ]

If true then however crap this is for us, it's worse for him. Just got into the form of his life and gets a serious injury. Hope he recovers quickly.

Didn't you say stephens would be out for months? After which he played the full 90 in the next game

No.
I said that I'd heard Stephens injury was worse than first thought (true), that he hadn't trained since the previous game (true) and that he may not play at the weekend (which he did).

Which? A or P?

To be fair [MENTION=267]TSB[/MENTION] is normally correct with his inside snippets.

You wouldn't necessarily immobilise a cruciate injury immediately, the issue is the twisting, which we saw when Solly collapsed a second time when he was trying to track back and was slightly jostled.
