Shane Duffy: broken metatarsal, out for at least 6 weeks

[Surf's Up]

Cue ariel bombardment from every team we play from now on.

 

[Yoda]

So the club is saying ankle fracture? That's not a metatarsal is it? I'm confused.

If it was ankle, it would be longer than 6 weeks.

FWIW, I think where possible, the fit players should remain in their usual positions, with the replacements slotting into the vacant spots - it keeps the existing framework. Shuffling players around (such as Bruno to CB, with someone else coming in at RB) disrupts things even more.

Spot On and absolutely correct.

All will be forgotten when Uwe has a blinder and we hump Rotherham 0-6. Of course if we lose...

 

[Sheebo]

Actually feel a bit more positive by the news he may well be back before the season end. Let's hope it's not too bad a break/fracture (although does surgery suggest it is - or is this just because of what he does that we've gone down this route?). At least he should be fully fit for the play-offs should we end up there - It's just very key Dunk doesn't get the 3 yellows now - 1 will be worry enough - concentrate Lewis.

And when, and when, and when. Keep changing the argument until it suits you.

You're right, we should've predicted Connor Goldson's heart scare, and Shane's ankle fracture/metatarsal injury. I'm sure if you were physio this wouldn't have happened.

Some are really losing their heads at the moment. Let's just remember that

Bruno
Uwe
Dunk
Rosenior

is a VERY good back 4.

It is, and we are supposed to be supporters. Some on here need to look up the definition of that word because maybe, just maybe the team could do with us at the moment.

 

[jamie the seagull]

Do we need to change our formation in view of our shortage of defenders?
Play 3 at the back and add cover in front by playing 5 in midfield?

Yes it is.

Uwe would walk into most championship defences.

Last time I saw him play he ran at the same pace as a walk.
I am not for wholesale change at back but would much prefer Bruno to CB and Tomoroi to RB.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

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

As Mickey Adams would have said. And he was right.

 

[1892]

As someone else said it'a probably came at the best time possible - when you are playing the teams who are at the wrong end of the table or made table when you're going to be on the front foot most of the time. Not ideal obviously but could've been worse.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Dunk has to keep his mouth shut and leave it to Bruno now, can't keep getting booked for dissent.

I'm sure Uwe can do a job alongside Dunk. Failing that Tomori and Bruno can play CB.

When can we expect Pocognoli back?

 

[stss30]

Seeing as most were saying he'd be out for the season (he still could be, obviously) that's decent news. Especially with a 2 week international break in the middle

 

[GT49er]

And when Dunk gets his inevitable 3 match ban? We were too complacent around January, too much back slapping going on.

Last season we were criticised by one for not having a squadron of PL ready LBs in storage at Lancing. This year, we had four CBs at the end of the January window, but no extra PL ready ones kicking their heels ready to step in in the unlikely event of one of the CBs having a heart problem - obviously, according to you, we should have been prepared for this.
I hereby nominate you as this year's BG.

FWIW, The young lad (Worrall?) who got MoM on Saturday is only 4th, possibly choice CB for Forest. According to Forest fans that I spoke to before the game he has been the best yet! Uwe coming in at this stage should be seen as a sign of our strength in depth this season. Yes, it is not the 1st choice pairing right now, but then neither was Dunk and Goldson last season and we embarked on the run that almost took us over the line. Personally, very comfortable with him in the side..

Apologies if mentioned previously.
I wonder if the Albion have access to one hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers, that has been used before to speed up recovery?

 

[Don Quixote]

Uwe is a good player or he wouldn't be playing for the club. Nothing to worry about. If we don't go up, it won't be because of Duffy being injured.

Clucking bell.

Time to man up. He's gone for the season.....

What happens after surgery?
For the first seven to 14 days after surgery, you may be allowed to weight bear through the heel, but some surgeons will not allow you to bear any weight on the injured foot. This could last as long as six weeks. Weight bearing in a removable walking boot is allowed after that. Patients can expect to return to full activity three to four months after a typical fracture. This includes returning to sports

Rosenior- Dunk- Huenemier- Bruno doesn't concern me, in fact I still believe that's a very strong defence, it's what comes after that concerns me, full back depth is fine.
