Nothing major, 2 weeks tops, oh wait sorry he’s just picked up an unrelated injury as part of his rehab. Unrelated i tell you, unrelated!!! Didn't they describe Atkinsons set back as a minor setback? And now it appears he's completely vanished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 He sustained a minor tweak, unfortunately he seems to have now picked up an infection and will be following the same rehabilitation as the rare & endangered lesser spotted McCrorie.

RedM Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 13 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: A few weeks, each to their own I've taken to mean about 4. Preston Away, Watford Home, Coventry Away and maybe Leeds Home? Plus West Ham away of course. Let's hope my view of a few weeks is too high. Yup, a couple of weeks to me means 2 or possibly 3. A few weeks is at least 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the intention was to hook him off after 5 minutes on the pitch. I think he was probably carrying a bit of a "tweak" to use Manning's words when he went on but rather than being able to play through it, the condition deteriorated and it soon became clear to him he couldn't continue. No blame attached to anyone for that. Sports injuries are not a predictable science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Reading between the lines, I'm wondering if describing a player who is out for a few weeks as "nothing major" and a "minor tweak" tells us that the expectation/fear was that it was going to be significantly worse...

We've always had 4 games over Christmas. Always had a game between boxing day and new years day. No different to playing 2 midweek games in a row, but managers will trot it out as an excuse.

MelksRed Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 16 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Even if accurate, missing Sykes for a few weeks is another blow to a thin squad. Agree....he tends to grab a game by the scruff of the neck at times and create a few chances.... At least we'll have all the new players that we will be buying....

Charlie BCFC Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 16 hours ago, Southport Red said: A ‘small tweak’ and yet he’ll be out for weeks? was Ayman’s injury a mid-sized, or even large ‘tweak’ then? surely ‘tweak’ is one week or even less out? He was back then got another set back, Manning said he would be out for a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, would rather a week off from a league fixture - another week to train / get players back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 In terms of value for money, Sykes must have been one of our best signings for a long time. Free transfer from League 1, fantastic piece of business and our most consistent player this year in my opinion. Think he's going to be a real miss next few weeks and hope he comes back soon! Be interested to see what happens now, Weimann isn't working out there and needs to be in the middle but Manning is persisting with this Inverted winger stuff. Personally would give Bell a go on the right, if Manning wants to play with one winger wide and one tucking in then let Mehmeti come in and influence the game and have Pring bomb on. We've looked so unbalanced with Weimann coming inside and Tanner not utilising the space there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No blame attached to anyone for that. Sports injuries are not a predictable science. No but they can estimate how susceptible someone is to getting injured. ‘Red zone’ is often talked about. Sykes must have been in or close to that zone hence him being hooked after 65 mins a lot. Rather than the ‘Manning is clueless as he brings off Sykes’ nonsense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
