All the more galling in that he was injured following a foul by a Donny player who was booked (I think).

Yeah it was a nasty foul. Fair play to Bolger for trying to play on.

Any news on how seriously Injured his shoulder was? Wonder if he will be out saturday

Think CP said on Twitter that Brown expects him to miss Saturday, which is a real blow and I expect Brown will want to bring someone in.

Doesn't seem to have popped it out or be anywhere near as bad as Thompson so hopefully he won't be out for an extended period.

I'd definitely expect him to miss Saturday - even if it popped back in on its own it the muscles can go into spasm and he could need a sling for a week, and then a few more weeks to get back to full training. A complete guess is that he'll be out for a month, based on the fact that he didn't appear to need it reduced by the physio. Also it's important to get the rehab right because he'll be at an increased risk of future dislocation now.

There's always the risk of doing more damage than just the dislocation and sometimes this can require surgery and 3-6 months out (al a Thompson, Walcott etc). Fingers crossed...

Thank you for your insight Dr Pubes.

Think there are special hospitals for gender confused people anyway.

I wonder if he will give Prosser a run out on sat or a new defender will go straight in if he manages to get one. I would love an update on Thompson, I know he is injured but where are we with his contract. We had about 20 updates on how close we were to signing Deegan.

 

[Supershrimper]

Time for Prosser to take his chance and see if he can cement his place in the side.

Prosser will go in Im sure.

I know its not his natural position but surely he will be given a chance.

I asked Chris Phillips about Thompson earlier, who knows whats going on there.

Phil Brown could put John White at CB allowing Lenny to go at RB. This would allow someone like Wordsworth/Payne to slot into the existing midfield. I do not think this would weaken the overall strength of the team based on last nights performance

 

[Jam_Man]

IF O'Neill signs White could play there and O'Neill at right back.

Id expect Prosser to play though.

Prosser must play if Bolger is out.....if not who do we direct the irrational criticism and abuse at? (especially if Weston starts on the bench again)

At last someone is thinking clearly !
You can't just make random team selections full of favoured players.
There must be a scapegoat.

I'm hopeful that a loan player will be available ................ make of that what you will.
