About a three week recovery unless it’s burst that can be a bit longer to recover from

Mine burst as a teenager and it was a 3 month recovery period. It’s more likely to be 5/6 weeks.

Love the optimism but losing your top and in form striker a couple of days after loaning out another striker is rarely what we need. But hey let's hope others step up as you say.

It is what it is. As Brightonskyblue says we need a loan, whether we can bring one in good enough is another matter. I'm not ready to write our season off, even though it is a major blow, just have to see what we can do.

What about Tavares ? replacing Walker as fourth choice striker I know he’s not been tried and tested yet but Walker hardly played other than ten minutes, ten minutes there & Taveres is proving he knows where the back of the net is give him a go, I remember us hanging back with Callum Wilson and look what that produced when he got his chance.

Left field post:

Was there more to the BCD fixture against Solihull B than the fact they were local and we wanted to get some minutes into the fringe players?

Did Mark & Ady want to look at one of their players?

The only player is thr 6’10” 21 y.o. that was being scouted by Celtic, Man City etc. (allegedly - maybe agent talk) who did well last season but can’t seem to get in their first team this year.

I’m not advocating anything - just wondering “why Solihull B”?

Again not advocating signing a non/ league B team player to replace MG, but thinking the u23s might have gaps with Walker gone, MG out and the need to perhaps have FT on the fringe of the 1st team.

One of those things. Keyhole surgery so hopefully only a few weeks. We'll get by but feel for Matty as about the first time since he's been with us he's been playing without injury.

I think in time gone by they just whipped the appendix out but nowadays they try to sort it and keep them and not operate.

It was against Solihull U19s. No first team players played

He's had no luck the past season and a half. Plays himself into form, and then he's out again.

We're almost forced to play one up top now, given that we have no other strikers on the bench if we play the two of them. Not forgetting Waghorn is nowhere near match fit, too. Hopefully Vik regains his midas touch and all is well, but there's certainly a chance that Godden missing the next few weeks will define our season.

I’m not sure Robins will start two up front anyway so Vik for Godden is the obvious change, not too bothered about that Gyo looked pretty sharp against Posh. Waghorn likely to be on the bench so Godden obviously a miss but we are covered.

It's very difficult to see where the goals will come from unless Gyokeres rediscovers his early season form. The Walker loan looked sensible until this news.

After the released and loaned players, with some out injured or unavailable for whatever reason, what does our senior squad look like now in terms of Saturdays bench?

Something like

Wilson, Shipley, Fadz, Jones, Eccles, Waghorn, Tavares?

Actually thinking about it not too bad, assuming it's Bidwell for Shippers, Gyokeres for Godden, I assume our bench is Moore, Fadz, Kelly, Eccles, Jones, Waghorn +1

Beat me to it. Yep if Shippers still here imagine he'll fill the other slot.

Squad still feels a bit thin now with a lot of games in Feb for injuries, loss of form or suspensions. I know he wants more quality but I think we might need some short term cover simply to increase numbers.

Anyone pretending this isn't pretty disasterous for us is kidding themselves. He's scored close to half our goals in our last 10 games. Even if he's back in a month he'll miss 8 games, 12 if it's 6 weeks.

Sadly I agree. Before this I thought there was a reasonable chance of a play off place especially if Gyokeres returned to form too. But now I am far from confident. It is a massive blow especially with so many games coming up.

It's a blow for sure. Of our current 3 strikers one hasn't scored for 3 months, one hasn't played for 3 months and the other has never played for us. Over to you Vik and let's hope none of those gets injured.
