I was told today by a youth coach (affiliated but not employed by the club) that Charlie has been away from the first team die to personal matters. Not sure how true that is but would explain the absence and the lack of communication from the club - possibly out of respect.

I wonder if someone could just ask Derek on a reason for his absence? We interview him enough on just generic content.

I guess you may be answering your own question? If it is true, then the reporters are probably aware, and therefore won't ask the question, out of respect to Brown's privacy?

That said, it may be useful to make a very simple statement, if it is the reason?

Yeah, you are right. I suspect that is what is happening. Radio silence suggests so in this circumstance.

Any of the die hards on here who watch training taken note of him not being there?

I'm sure he was photographed in training gear before Huddersfield away, despite then not appearing on the bench. No clue if he traveled or not?

Think I also saw him out at the front of the stadium on Saturday with a couple of the other lads not in the squad talking to fans and taking pics etc.

Did somebody mention he might have a back injury?

Derek mentions Charlie has had a back injury, at the end of his pre-Doncaster interview. Let's hope he's fit again soon.

It was strange that this was the first time it has been mentioned, but good to be told. Hopefully he'll be fit soon.
