Can't see any update from the club yet but think i saw him on crutches at the end of the game
any news ?
Looked nasty from where I was stood in the away end. Was a bit silly of him to fly into the ball at that pace given how little space he had, can't fault the dedication though.
I'll be surprised if that's not a broken ankle the speed he slid in. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Scan tomorrow
A break would be better than ligament damageQuote:

More info here. Hope for the best for Tanner, and to his credit, Willock looked serviceable today from what I saw of him.
He did it before he hit the hoardings. As soon as he slid in his foot dug in and he turned his ankle, it wasn’t the impact.Quote:

Willock has certainly underwhelmed - and was way below his previous best when he left QPR. But he has skill and is quicker (when he wants to) than I thought. If he can buy in to the BBM way of playing and shake off the lethargy, he could and should be an asset.Quote:

I agree he's clearly a hugely skilled and talented player but he's been an absolute momentum killer for us in attacks. Don't know if it's confidence or just his style doesn't suit usQuote:

Ligament damage can be very nasty, excruciatingly painful and can take a long time to heal. Its the psychological impact as well, I.e. people who've had ligament damaged may not put the same effort in as before in case it goes again.
I suppose a glimmer of hope is that it was dealt with quickly and was on the sideline with a boot on applauding the team off.
I hope it's something like a high ankle sprain, which can be incredibly painful and will take several weeks to recover from.
He was Writhing, i'm going for ligament damage.
Out for four months :frown:

Out for 4 months
Broken bone and ligament damage
Gutted for him
That is a real blow. Willock is going to have to really up his game.
Make that 2 wingers we now need then.
Gutted for him. Hope the recovery is straight forward.Quote:

Anyone that watches the u21s much think Nyakuhwa could step up to the first team?
He looked very good in pre-season, worth a chance for sure.Quote:

BBM sounded much less convinced than with Mafico, Kpakio, Lawlor, King, and Joel Colwill. Maybe he has had an injury? Hopefully he forces his way into the reckoning soon.
A real shame.
It also reduces our squad to 20 players plus goalies, and one of them is Daland who's been strongly linked with a move away. That's just not enough.
BBM seems to place a lot of credit in how well the players are performing in training.Quote:

I wonder what Will Alves is up to these days !
Think he would fit in perfect with our current set up
Just 1 EFL Cup appearance for Leicester so far and wasn't in their squad for their last league gameQuote:

Such a shame, he's our best winger by a street. We absolutely must sign a winger, I think we need two as we needed one before
I agree.Quote:

I would consider him more central though as maybe a back up to R Colwill, as he won’t be able to play every week.
Also gives us a plan B creatively.
I'd be very surprised if BBM revisits anything related to last season and that includes Alves, although I think he'd be a decent loan
I like Tanner but he isn't a game change type player, we will do ok until his complete recovery.
Apart from Swansea at home where he literally changed the game.Quote:
