March's knee

[Surrey_Albion]

Long term injury is the report we got on the train back from the game from people who know,we've been so unlucky with injuries to form players this year!!!!

this can't be true, reading on other fans forum we've been lucky and will lose as soon as we get an injury because we haven't got the same "depth" as other teams

 

[spanish flair]

Lua Lua
Bong
Baldock
Rosenior
March

That is a savage long term injury list.

What's happened to Crofts, should he be on that list of has he just fallen from favour?

Hughton said that Crofts will be back for Middlesbrough and possibly QPR.

 

[saafend_seagull]

It's going to be long term judging by hughtons post match interview but he also said no reaction to lua lua surgery so hopefully he'll be back in a couple of weeks.

What was odd was that having clearly hurt himself running off the ball (no contact). After treatment he then continued. I don't know many players who hurt themselves running who can run it off. It was clearly a problem, possibly made worse by continuing?

Unless my memory is fading he took a hefty whack on that leg earlier in the game. That may have initiated the problem

 

[Zebedee]

I was amazed that he was allowed to try to "run-off" the problem. He should have been substituted immediately.

I am sure the physio who attended him would be in the best position to decide that and how serious it was.

Will you stop being rational please. Wild pessimistic speculation is what we need here.

 

[Zebedee]

Err.. which is why he collapsed in a heap again a couple of minutes later.

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.

The problem is that March is obviously descended from this bloke:

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Of late, Sunday to Wednesday 'ish seems to be spent waiting for news on what the result is of a major injury to an Albion player. It has to bite sooner or later. Thank goodness we signed VLP, gutted for March though, he was having one helluva breakthrough season.

 

[BensGrandad]

Wouldnt he have based his decision and professional judgement on what he player told him and the symptons shown

Medical man are you? It's a wonderful thing hindsight.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Picture on Twitter with him on the sofa. Looks OK to me

 

[Skaville]

Why? No one could have been sure what had happened. It was an innoculous incident. Exactly the same thing happened to Callum Wilson earlier in the season and Bournemouths medical staff received no criticism

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

I was amazed that he was allowed to try to "run-off" the problem. He should have been substituted immediately.

Leicester City once let a player try and run off an injury when we played them at Withdean, he went down again a few mins later and was subbed off, turns out he'd broken his leg.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Err.. which is why he collapsed in a heap again a couple of minutes later.

I really think you should write to CH suggesting his medical staff use far more hindsight in their assessments so that we don't get any more of these type of problems going forward

Solly or the sofa?

To be fair, I thing BG was making the valid point that the physio would be in a better position to assess the situation than Zebedee. Who like the rest of us knows nothing of any credibility about the current situation.
