Duku injury


CC

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how serious it might be / how long he might be out??

 

My dad was talking to Jacko on sunday, and apparently he said that about 6/7 players picked up injuries during the weymouth game, but only 1 serious. My dad, being old, cant remember the name of the serious casualty, but mentioned that Jacko said he heard something crack. Sounds like its probably Francis.

That worries me.

This is indeed bad news as Francis is a colossus in our defence .

Nick and Aaron will have their work cut out but I see from the NLP that Ronnie Johnsen is on the free agents list !!

Bad news, lets wish Francis a speedy recovery, I think Nick and Aaron will do well together but we will miss his presence in the team. I feel he played a major part in the team winning promotion last year. Lets hope he recovers quickly.

There are only a couple of players we would miss just as much in my view, and they would be Jacko and Macca.

 

As if staying up wasn't going to be difficult enough. I think we shouldn't underestimate just what a big loss Francis is.cry.gif

 

Get well soon Fridge!

....Bugger.

 

Pretty much the only and best way to describe it.

 

Oh well, one of our main virtues is that we are a team and never rely on one player, so we should be fine...

 

Nevertheless....get well soon Fridge, you'll be missed.... <img src="/forums/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />

That really is terrible news. Firstly, I'd like to wish him well and a speedy recovery from the injury. Get well soon Franco.

 

Secondly, we'll obviously play Aaron and Nick in central defence, but do we have any cover for them? Maybe another signing may now be required?

Well, Lew Watts can play anywhere across the back and therefore can provide cover for the mighty Fridge. Nonetheless, you're probably right - more cover may well be needed - unless Andy plans to use Wilko as a defender if necessary, like he did a couple of seasons back.

I think Wilko is the nearest player we've currently got on our books as cover for The Fridge - reads the game well , fast and a good header of the ball .

Wasn't he selected for the Ryman rep side as a centre back a few seasons ago ?

Nick and Aaron complement a player like Francis but together as a pairing I'm not so sure .

I would tend to agree with you Alan that Aaron and Nick might not make the greatest partnership, although I believe they are both fine players in their own right.

 

In response to Dave's comments regarding Coyle and Hockey, no offence but, I would not even entertain the idea of playing PASE or similar age players in the centre of defence in a side new to the Conference. Whatever their raw ability may be like, they would get roasted at this level.

 

If Andy is happy with Lew Watts and Wilko providing the cover then fine, but I would imagine that having lost someone of Franco's calibre he would be looking to bring in a Conference experienced defender to plug the gap. As if this season wasn't going to be hard enough as it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Any news on a new goalkeeper anyone????????
