Gary taken to hospital for an x-ray on his ankle. Amazing injury list :( Hope he's okay.

....and there may be even further long term concerns about Blinks. :( :( :(

Good to see Parrish in the pre-match kick around and could it be that McStay could be back sooner than we had expected due to even further excellent work by our Medical team and their Consultants? :) :) :)

Rene may be OK for Rochdale but can't see him being risked if not 100%.

There may be news about Blinks? On crutches and out for the rest of the season.

A shame for Blinks but it's not a position we are struggling to fill. Could be a chance for Dearmud to show what he's about (hopefully goals!!)

So I understand.

Have we seen the last of Blinks in a red shirt?

Out of contract at the end of this season.

If so, then we owe him a big thank you, because it was his goals that got us to Wembley.

Hunter's x-ray came back fine. Should be fit for Tuesday.

Can't belive he doesn't play Dearmud he looks class when he comes on. He can hold the ball up well and he fights for it too.He has really good touches too !!

Evidently there are differing opinions about what action to take.

just a shame that his career with us seems to have been blighted with injury.

You've either been very busy tonight or you knew the answer to your hinted question. :roll:

How do you fix a broken Knee (hairline fracture to the knee cap I heard) because it moves all the time.

now would be ideal, to give Parrish a run in the team until the end of season and have a good look at him, for me he certainly has the ability, and hopefully a long term successor to JB

Do you mean as Captain of the side? Centre-back? Or both? He needs to get in the gym and get tough if he wants to play as centre-half. I agree that he has showed a great deal of potential though this year (though I instantly think of his stinker at Chester), I see him more as a wingback myself.

gradually replacing JB as center-half in a couple of seasons, as i think JB only as 2 more yrs left in him at L2 level
