Don't Mention The War
Hopefully Greer and Vincelot will be ok for Saturday, or we're going to need find a pretty urgent cover at Centre Back.
Greer had a tight calf apparently, he certainly looked fine going down the tunnel for half time. Vincelot looked like a dislocated elbow/shoulder, the way they strapped up his arm in a sling. Was quite worried for CMS actually, fell very heavily early on in the second half and was still hobbling about deep into injury time.
I dislocated my elbow once playing football, it was f*cking horrible and hurt like hell. In fact it was only the complete ineptitude of the St Johns Ambulance staff that made me laugh enough to help ease the pain - they nearly dropped me, they hadn't a clue what was wrong and they were all geeks..... Still, they give up their (trainspotting) time for nothing.
Both Calderon and Painter have played CB before. Thought IC looked good when he slotted in there today but we may be lacking a bit of height.
To my mind, Calderon may be distracted from the immediate need, and, Painter is not quick enough to react to the needs of centre back.
Just hope GG is not (badly) injured and his withdrawal was just precautionary.
I was in A&E last night with my wife when Romain was brought in being looked after by Tim Stephenson (the club doctor). He seemed in reasonably good spirits - one very brave man if the injury is confirmed as what it looked like ( a dislocation or fracture). I once dislocated and fractured my elbow and I was a major wuss in comparison to how he was.
