I think from what I can gather, it wasn't thought to be broken when first examined. So was allowed to travel home. Expect he got up Saturday morning and realised the pain wasn't easing and the club suggested he got an x-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am concerned about Baker, but mainly about his chances of remaining injury free rather than his ability to do a job. Still would prefer Kalas there though, a freak injury that hits us once again for weeks or months rather than the odd niggle which is healed in days.

BCFCGav Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 This is shit news and we are cursed with injuries, but... we do have better squad depth than last season. Baker is solid cover, or we could move Kelly over and give DaSilva a run at LB. Plus Wright is almost fit. Let’s get behind whoever comes in and get some more points on the board.

AppyDAZE Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 No one can ever say we have had it lucky with injuries these last few seasons. I know, every club points to them, but this was a canny signing if you ask any football league follower. Real pig sick that we will be without him, but let's not forget that it wasn't too long ago we were all excited about getting Nathan Baker. Good luck, Nathan go on and prove a point to your old club on Friday my son (he's not my son btw although I do tend to stick up for the guy a lot. He's a good player and I trust him big time. Carpe diem, Nathan Baker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 As it’s ‘just’ a facial injury hopefully Tomas should be able to maintain his general fitness levels so he’ll be ready to start as soon as the jaw heals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certainly no expert but I don’t think it’s that simple, surely your head moves and jolts even when you are jogging. Eating might not be that simple either so perhaps lose a lot of body weight and muscle. Yes I know he can have nutrition shakes but it’s not the same. Also he won’t be able to take part in any contact sport of any kind, match fitness and sharpness will be lost. Best just give him time to heal, he maybe back in the care of Chelsea anyway, and welcome him back when he does return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 How many black cats has LJ run over lately? Our serious injury record has been unbelievable the last two seasons. During the Cotterill L1 season it seemed like we had a tiny squad and virtually no injuries. How our luck has changed - can SC loan LJ his lucky pants please.

Dredd Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 We had Agard and Wilbs both out for a decent amount of time at one point. Luckily Matt Smith came in and played a blinder alongside JET and kept our form going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still 8 games he possibly misses. That would mean he is fit on the 10th of November. Villa, Rotherham, SW, Brentford, Hull, Stoke, Reading and Preston. The good news is a lot of winnable games there even without Kalas. Baker is a top CB when fit and in the right mindset. Hopefully he can be that in most of those. That is the main problem with Baker though. Just don’t know if he will show up at his best. Kalas will be missed for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 6 hours ago, Super said: Can't believe people on here slating Watkins. Bizarre. Well. My initial impressions was I found it odd that he was running towards our own goal well into our own half to head the ball. Also found it odd that he didn’t see a red shirt on a six foot plus team mate doing his defensive job and trying to head the ball in the right direction away from our goal. Found it mightly bizarre he didn’t check to see the bloke he just laid out with what looked a serious injury was ok. Don't see any grounds to slate him at all. No, none whatsoever. Just one, though, of many incidents - like constantly chickening out of 50:50 tackles - where the whole lot of them should be slated possibly barring the ultra unfortunate Kalas and one or two others. Anyhow, woeful team effort which will soon be forgotten if we smash Villa. I’m sure the likes of Watkins will be straining at the bit to put things right. Every confidence, after that abject performance, that they will. A hat-trick from Marley will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
