It's usually "[player name] felt his [body part affected]".

Hope this is not as bad as feared.

Erm..u did see the change in thread title?

 

[GoingUp]

Fu*k just confirmed on Sky Sports News, nightmare. Time to buckle up and come together as a team!

I did but hadn't got to the links confirming it until after I posted.

Gutting. We can and WILL still do this.

You owe the OP an apology.

Bad news. But it'd be worse if it was a striker. We had some pretty impressive results before signing him over the past year and a half and we can do it again. We have to, so no point getting stressed about it.

Back for the playoffs!

Or in time to clinch the title [emoji41]

Bruno managed perfectly fine in the middle at the start of the season so once Dunk is suspended, we'll have him and BFG in the middle and then Rosenior and potentially Poc/Bong as full backs. Not that bad really

 

[Goldstone1976]

Bugger. Time for the BFG to step up to the plate then, I guess.

In a game situation, if we need to defend a lead, Murray is always very good in a central defensive position so that is another option Hughton could use as part of his tactics.

This is why we've got a squad, right? I know it's not the best news (far from it), but it's not like we're 'down to the bare bones'. We have OPTIONS – that's something, at least...

Given away 2 penalties so far if I recall correctly.

As much as Duffy and dunk have been a rock this season. The truth is that the defence has been rubbish recently , we've conceeded too many goals especially away.

Duffy was poor against Newcastle and forest.

Time for an enforced reshuffle and get that solidity back....

True, not so much this season but in the Withdean years he used to be top drawer when we were defending.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Not signing better than Tomori and Akpom biting us on the arse failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Some previous metatarsal recovery times....

Really ? Duffy was not at fault for any of the goals against Newcastle or Forest (he wasn't on the pitch for 2 of em) and he'd had 2 fine clean sheets before that v Reading, Barnsley.
We have options but lets not kid ourselves. He will be missed.
