Am hoping our luck with officiating may start to even out a bit. If it does we are due so many bad calls that it'll be our year.

I’m not as hopeful From the away end he looked pretty distraught despite getting up and walking off. Looked like Achilles / back of the ankle. It wasn't a knock as no one near him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look that dubious to me. If you dive in for a challenge on a player that has sprinted past you and he goes down under the challenge you don't give the ref much option but to give it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on here.. Were you at the game then out of interest? I was right on that side at the front, It deffo wasn’t a kick or a knock. It really didn’t look or sound good and the fact physios got waved on straight away and he went off straight down the tunnel isn’t a good sign. Hopefully Fleming is right and there aren’t any injuries, rather than covering up, but I guess we will see on Saturday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliOTIB Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 OTIB - ‘Believe that hes done his ACL there, looked like he tore something and screamed in pain with no one around him, definitely out for the season’ Pearson and Fleming - ‘Yeah we got no injuries’ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, petehinton said: Conway has just collapsed on his heel with no one around him. Gone straight down the tunnel. Brilliant It’s why we need a striker. If we get an injury to most players we have good cover. Any medium term injury to Conway or O’Leary and we become a fair bit worse as a team. Appreciate it’s a minority view but those of us that are concerned with our striker cover are concerned for a reason. I do say that assuming we are aiming for the play offs. If we are aiming for 8-10th then we are fine Edited July 25, 2023 by And Its Smith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are aiming for 8-10th then we are fine We have 5 players playing for 3 positions atm (maybe even 6 or 7 if Francois stays and where they are Benarous fitting in), imo if we get a big injury up too I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see us go 4-2-3-1 or even 3-4-1-2 rather than keep to 3 ‘proper’ forwards.

Yeah the numbers are fine. I just see the quality drop off after Conway as quite significant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my doctors, you have to send them a message outlining what's wrong with you, they'll then maybe give you a telephone consultation, if you are close to dying then maybe they'll give you a face to face appointment in about 8 weeks time.

I’m with Pete, was sat on the side facing him and didn’t look like a kick to me, he just pulled up and went down. Definitely looked like a worrying one to me.

With the greatest respect, I expect Fleming to know more about what happened more than someone Sat in the stand. Probably took a kick (which you missed) tried to run it off but couldn't so was taken off as a precaution. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underhanded Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Bruh about 5 people have now all said it didn't look like he got a kick.

Just saying the way he went down with no one around him didn’t look like it was from a kick, it looked worse than that. I’m not saying anyone’s lying but it was right in front of me and my first reaction was this is not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 2 hours ago, ExiledAjax said: So Tanner and Leeson bagging goals. Full backs pushed further forward this season is it? In Tanners case I would say no, for me he looked quite slow on the ball and there were times I wanted him to push forward and he didn't. Have definitely seen him play much more attacking than he did tonight although can't argue with the goal. Roberts however tried a few overlaps and his crossing was generally better than Mehmeti too, thinking the competition on the left between him and Pring could be interesting.
