Excellent news.

 

[yellowbow]

Do we know if any of the injured players are likely to be available after the international break?

Yesterday's Dub said Bradshaw is closest to returning, so close that he was almost ready for Watford, with Leigh and Bennett not too far behind, but perhaps unlikely for Boro.

Moore sounded a little like a longer lay-off, although Jerome said he expected him to be back for the final few games.

Every little boo-boo is a six-week layoff for Moore nowadays, let's see whether this one is any different.

I thought someone said Leigh was basically back already, and could almost have played against Watford, but one reason he didn't was for us to avoid him being called up for internationals?

That was on The Dub 2 weeks ago, but the last episode on Monday was suggesting he was 'possible' for first game after the break.

 

[Jster]

Yeah, rather odd, unless he's had a setback?

Picked up a new injury stretching for a high C on the piano.

I thought Jerome had said that about Bradshaw, but there’s a chance I wasn’t paying as much attention as I thought!

Bradshaw and internationals seems a stretch.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Brannagan’s injury turns out worse than feared once the scan results come back.

Have a feeling it’s wishful thinking from Gary he will be back Saturday.

 

[Stanford yellow]

Looks like Bennett,Leigh and woltman trained yesterday

Ah maybe Woltmann will keep us up!!

What is it that he does again?

On The Dub, it suggested that Cam may have to be managed in the minutes he plays,, but the news isn't too bad.

 

[Marked Ox]

Is Stephan Negru injured as he wasn't involved with Salford tonight?

 

[Bicester Yellow]

On The Dub, it suggested that Cam may have to be managed in the minutes he plays,, but the news isn't too bad.

If he has to be managed that is bad news, as like everyone loves to point out. We don’t have anyone who can replace him to an adequate standard.

If he is not 100% & having to be managed we are going to be in all sorts of trouble moving forward.

I think that bas news would have been that he was out for the rest of the season !

 

[BTCW]

Brannagan has had to be managed for weeks.

He turned down an operation he needs to play for us.

He will have the op this summer.

Maybe I’m alone in thinking this - but since his return from injury anytime he’s had to break into a flat out sprint it’s been visibly quite obvious he isn’t moving freely. If true this doesn’t surprise me one bit. The fact that (when fit) he’s been one of our better performers whilst nursing said knock speaks volumes for both his quality and character

Let’s hope he doesn’t break down before then.

Fair play to the bloke, can’t fault his commitment.

Makes the sprint for that recovery challenge for that Bristol City breakaway even more remarkable

Feel free. Do well to add much info with Rowetts update post Hull!!

 

[Jster]

Sounds as if a few are close to being back now, which is good news. Nothing said on Luke Harris though.

Good news on those fronts. Brown being out til October is concerning

 

[Jster]

I think the top priority has to be to get someone in to deputise for him.

Imagine this is where the move for Ben Davies comes from.
