Mega Cardiff injury blows.
Ramsey out for 8/10 weeks, Bulut says. If he does have surgery it will ADD a further 3 months. Means he's out of all Wales qualifiers.
Also O'Dowda out for 10/12 weeks after surgery. Meite & Etete a months each. Miserable news.

****ing brutal :frown:
It's going to be a long hard winter.
Big blows.
Collins is ok for Saturday though, and sounds like Bowler is nearly ready.
Looks like O Dowda will miss most of this season then by the time he gets back to match fitness. I suspect Ramsey could take longer than the stated 8 - 10 weeks too as he won’t want to rush back with fears of the injury reoccurring again
We will be ok
January window can’t come soon enough then. We’re going to get a good look at the squad over the next couple of months now, great chance for some of the younger players to shine.

Guessing he's already had the surgery in which case he should be back Christmas time.Quote:

The way we have been playing high tempo comes at a cost, particularly with a threadbare squad.
Luckily we've had a decent start to the season and picking up a few points here and there til the January TW will hopefully be enough not to start worrying too much about the dreaded.
Will be interesting to see how Bulit responds tactically.
Not entirely unexpected.....as in a previous post, let's hope Ramsey can help mentor the younger players...even if it is mental strength.
Why are we getting so many groin/hamstring injuries....it's not THAT high a press causing it.
Going to be a hard three months until January...
People thinking we're unlucky. Rotherham had 9 injuries when they played us. No doubt most teams are carrying injuries at our levels.
High tempo? Have I missed this?Quote:

Collins and bowler back though, only Rambo and o dowda long term I think….ie past international break.
The relentless of the league is clearly a factor on its unpredictable nature of games played.

Top 6 still on we got there without all these players being in and out of the side .Quote:

Hopefully Bowler will be back soon to cover Meite and we do have some side options.
Isn't the biggest short term problem that we have been spearheading the team with a mix of Ugbo, Meite and Etete in the centre. If two of the three are missing who rotates with Ugbo? Let's hope the Isaac Vassell Memorial Treatment table is kinder than of late!Quote:

We do we always seem to take so long to go from injury to diagnosis to operation?
Yeah, although I guess Grant can’t also play upfront as can Robinson.Quote:

Grant Colwill Tanner with Robinson as a 9 isn’t a bad starting front fourQuote:

Bowler and Ugbo should be able to give us a good 25-30 minutes when any of the front four start to tire
Get Madine back on loan……Quote:
