Can’t believe we’ll have 3 out at the same time with ACL injuries ! Never even heard of an ACL until Gazza “pioneered “the injury and now it seems to be happening in droves !

Never even heard of an ACL until Gazza “pioneered “the injury and now it seems to be happening in droves ! That’s the physical demands of the modern game, fast, twists and turns, coupled with how hard the pitches are underneath. As you state, used to be rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Oh wow didn’t expect that given he completed the game on Tuesday… he is really looking like the real deal at their level over the last 14 months swift recovery Zak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I find it incredibly hard to believe he could’ve played the whole second half, the way he did, if it was a full cruciate tear like Rob/Weimann had. Quietly confident it’ll be a few months rather than a season ender. What a ‘replacement’ we have in Dickie though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d usually “pop-it” twisting and turning, or driving through the ball..but we will just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knee-cap wasn’t diagnosed, and pounding up and down the Dolman possibly the cause of the end if his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 Club seems quiet on the injury ? Lets hope it’s short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Piercy wrote at the weekend that Zak was seeing surgeon (specialist?) “next week”. As he wrote that at the weekend I’m taking “next week” to be “this week”. I imagine Nige will update us in tomorrow’s press conference if it has taken place. Zak appeared on a Bristol City Foundation tweet yesterday, and looked in good spirits, so fingers crossed.

IAmNick Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 I find the "Everyone wrote him off (except me!)" comments amusing, because a few of those posters have players they assured us would be the next big thing (Morrell anyone?) who aren't - it works both ways don't forget. You can't big up every young player and then pat yourself on the back when you're sometimes right! I didn't write Zak off or think he was "League 1 at best" but I would have been more than happy to see him leave - I thought he was poor overall, and I definitely didn't think he'd become as good as he has I'm happy to admit that, and at the time I don't think that's an unreasonable position to have taken based off the performances I saw and his position around the club (loans and cup games, basically). Not everything has to be a "Look at how right I was" or "Look how stupid most of our fans" are thing, nor as black and white as they're either world beater or belong in L2. I thought Zak was a very average lower Championship players, or a good L1 one. I was very wrong on current evidence! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
