Reading Robins' and Doyle's comments it sounds like it could be a bad one for Andreu.

Just hope it's not a season ender as he looked like he could/should be a class above in this division.

Yeah he overstretched and twisted his knee

Going to be out a good while and will be a loss, just as he was getting match fit.

Let's not jump the gun...it might be OK. If not, maybe time to dip into the loan market.

Really gutted about this, puts an awful lot of pressure on Jodi Jones now.

Disappointing if it is serious, may lead to a change in system though if both he and McNulty are out?

Can we pick up a forward who is a free agent? Here's one I know we could acquire

That's a good point, I think the Irish league finishes in the Autumn. Hopefully we have the budget left for him.

I wonder if clubs like CCFC can buy insurance whereby if a squad player get a long lay-off, the insurance policy pays out so that we have budget to cover a replacement? Anyone know if this is possible? I'd imagine that, especially given our injury record, us paying the insurance policy itself would cut a chunk out of our initial budget and thus make the whole exercise a bit futile.

If it's long term with Andreu then he may think about a free agent, although I hope he thinks about it a little more carefully than Mowbray or Slade did. Maybe even recall Kwame from Sutton.

I think he'd absolutely recall Kwame but the terms of the loan mean he can't be recalled until 28 days (or if we did recall him, he wouldn't be able to play him anyway). Talk about unlucky timing!

Are players able to walk off the pitch if they've done their cruciate? Hopefully this will be like McDonald where it's not as serious as it first looked.

Unfortunately yes they can. I remember Keane limping off v Leeds about 20 years ago and he was out for 9 months.

Hurts like fuck when you first do it but you can get up and walk on it after a minute or 2. Then you can walk to your locker, call the missus, walk down the road, get picked up by her and get the worst bollocking you've ever had because she's only been out of hospital for 2 days and the baby is only 9 days old. In fact, I think my ears hurt more than my knee did.

Then you can't bath the baby, you can't kneel down to change a nappy and you get banned from football?

Can't think of any youngsters though who are goalscorers and out and out strikers.

If only we had one.

I think we won our first two games without Andreaudidn't we?
I'd guess it be a straight swap back with Beavon & The Duke for McNulty

Pretty worrying.

Jones has improved no doubt, but when you have him as our only real goal threat, that is extremely cutting it fine.

Hope Ponticelli gets a chance tomorrow, and we do also have the option of Kwame who's loan runs out in 3 weeks or so.

Walk avoidance too - was a 6 month 'Get out of Pram Pushing Free' card

Time to change the system if he’s out long term. He’s the only one that links play from that role that we have. For me go 442 or 433 and chuck Ponti up top for a few games before looking to any new players.

I fancy Vincenti to get his first goal for us tomorrow
He's had a good few chances. Must look up his odds.......
And maybe Bev his first of the season - he will want to hold onto his place and was unlucky on Saturday
All forward's luck eventually changes
Let's hope so anyway

Duckens Nazon to start and the fans rejoice as the 'The Duck', 'The Duke'* or 'Nazonator' finally gets his chance... only for him to be terrible and the fans abandon him.

* kind of worrying that Nazon shares nicknames with 'Il Duce' (The Duke) Mussolini... haha

How frustrating! Especially as it was a ball he didn't even need to go for (and the cross that followed was awful )
