Ahhh. Walking off. Shoulder injury.

That had the look of an ACL type thing.

Phew.

Hopefully doesn't need surgery and will be back in a month.

[The Kraken]

Second best to absolutely everything.

[Greedyfly]

We've shifted Stephens over. He's not good on that left.

Welington already looking better in defence.

[Challenger]

This fucking around at the back is really this sides Achilles heel.

Good timing for the international break then.

Hope we can get through today but Schlotterbeck is so important for how we build up.

[Disco Stu]

Not sure Schlotterbeck will be back in time for Boro if it's a dislocation. Massive loss.

Needed a WHU start rather than a WBA start.

Cant belive how well we played at WHU. Why cant we play the same way each game, cant be that difficult 

[Mr X]

We are such an hot and cold side it's unreal

Brilliant you've brought up the one time this season when it didn't happen to prove that it's not true? 

 

Here we go then PNE, West Brom, Norwich, Wrexham, Watford, Brum. 

Boo hoo why can’t we always stop other teams playing at home

[SNSUN]

Schlott would be a huge loss. 

[tdmickey3]

This is shit

True but we don't have a centre forward to play direct into.

Virtually irreplaceable already 

[Saint Fan CaM]

PNE appealing for every fucking pen chance they possibly can. Thank fuck the Ref seems decent.

[LGTL]

If it’s a simple dislocation it might be alright, but sometimes requires surgery. 

[macca155]

They are running around like lunatics, no way they'll keep this up. Just need to weather the storm.

Wellington looking good, keep the faith

why do you think a dislocation is long term? That’s the best it could be

[captainchris]

Did we not plan for them pressing at all fgs!!! This is WBA on repeat!

[skintsaint]

Stewart misses pen for Swansea.

[Suhari]

Spud Bros are making us look like a bunch of potatoes.

[SaintBobby]

This is an utter shambles so far 

[whelk]

Fucking hell our fans! Well plums on here. Get a grip

[Totton Saint]

Do we have a CB on the bench?

[St Chalet]

Dislocated Shoulder is 6-12 out for a professional footballer (according to Gemini)

[Suhari]

Not anymore.

[Mr X]

I don't understand how we can go from looking unplayable at times to looking like a relegation side the next

Everyone hates RM but we still play his game for majority of the 90 mins. When will managers realise kicking or passing the through the lines of defence is easier.

Its not like the opposition arent elite professional footballers is it?

[Suhari]

Looking better now.

They seem to have come off the boil.

[Totton Saint]

Who has replaced Shuts

I assume we could go 3-4-3  if needed 
Manning- Stevens- Abbott
Welly - Downes - JWP - Bree
Leo - Dobs - Azaz

Could be 6 weeks, could be 16, either way isn’t great, imagine not having him back until January at the earliest.

He didn’t miss their game so that’s progress.

4-6 weeks on ChatGPT

[tdmickey3]

Dobbin as sharp as a log

[OneMrsWallace]

Probably thinking we just need to turn up to turn them over. Poor start.

On the shoulder injury. If it is a dislocation, doctors try to avoid surgery as much as possible, preferring it to re-align and then rest. Problem for elite sport players is that once it's popped out, it's more likely to repeat. That's when they resort to pinning it. 

[sockeye]

one where they run themselves out and we nab 2 or 3 whilst they're puffing in the second half, I reckon

Schlott is a big miss

It's the style of play. We need a Stoke mentality. Its too risky and unreliable over 97 mins.

Took me 3 months before I was back on the pitch after a dislocated shoulder in similar circumstances.

Injury / treatment Time out

First-time dislocation, uncomplicated 4–6 weeks

More significant dislocation 6–8 weeks

Not peeling off his marker?

[Gloucester Saint]

Chance to see Abbott as a CB, let’s see how he fares.

Hopefully his medical treatment will be more advanced than rubbing some tiger balm in.

Wimp😀

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re slowly adapting to the new shape, but it’s not looking good. PNE know how to press us.
