He’s ill

Thats great news if true , weirdly

[SBT]

Two/thirds of our starting midfield out and the first XI still looks good, plus good options on the bench. Our midfield depth is great at the moment.

He’s ill

That's good news really but for this game its not ideal. We've done well to get by without Rudoni but no Torp too is a big ask.

 

[RoysterE17]

Ffs torp

It’s not idea but we’ve still got more than enough.

well this is the thing, we always needed an extra mid in reality

 

[fatso]

If torp becomes the new sheaf in terms of injury record we definitely have to act during the January wi dow

We've got great cover already here .
We've got BTA to drop into the no10 spot, then there's Rudoni to come back in, then Allen and Eccles.

Your not going to attract another top quality player when they know they arnt going to get enough minutes.

Today's midfield 3 is still the best in the league even without Rudoni and Torp. That's why we let Sheaf go. And Allen has the advantage of having fresh legs against a Watford side who played on Wednesday. His fresh legs could make all the difference.

He’s ill

Thank god for that saw someone mooted an ACL, hopefully on the wind up

 

[Ccfcisparks]

i do think Allen could do a job. i personally just like more balance with 3 actual midfielders

Would imagine Eccles will come on second half if we’re ahead

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just unfortunate timing for this specific game.

 

[Tommo1993]

Pointless speculating but that ACL rumour has got people flapping

You’re telling me it is, ACL recovery is usually 9+ months

where’s that come from?

Eh?

Dunno mate, it’s doing the rounds though.

 

[skybluecam]

Really need a central midfield player in Jan.

 

[no_loyalty]

Hope it’s not, we seem to get one a season .

 

[jordan210]

Midfield needs to step up today. As lost some creative flair without torp,

but he did look of it the other night so
Hopefully it is just an illness

 

[Adamrb]

Would definitely like to see another decent winger added to squad to come off bench. I guess that’s kkh’s role for now

 

[Nick]

The club sometimes say before if players are out with illness

I agreed with this post until you said it's still the best midfield 3 in the league... Considering there are only 2 midfielders and one of them is Allen I'm not sure.

Allen is a solid player at this level and should still be enough to get a result today hopefully.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I heard he had Chlamydia but the news could have been wrong

 

[Matt smith]

If Torp out for season it’s a hammer blow

 

[Matt smith]

Acl is a real blow to our chances

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If Torp out for season it’s a hammer blow

If that’s true Rudoni will need to come back more urgently than planned

 

[Matt smith]

If that’s true Rudoni will need to come back more urgently than planned

Yeah hopefully he’s back next week

 

[skybluegod]

Somebody posts ACL randomly and people believe it just like that why get worked up, we will find out in 2 hours.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yeah hopefully he’s back next week

To be clear though there is no benefit in worrying about his absence until Lampard explains post match what it is.

Parks said he was ill

dunno how he could have done his Acl

 

[Grimetime]

Can't believe Torp has torn his Arena Coventry Limited.

 

[TomRad85]

Where are people getting their info from regarding ACL or illness? @Ccfcisparks was your info legit or a troll?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Parks said he was ill

dunno how he could have done his Acl

Parks also said it was chlamydia
