It showed today how much we missed O’Hares work & endeavour don’t care how much money we get replacing that is very hard & to sell to a competitor would be madness.

11 teams, all above us in the table, managed ok without him last season….

The club will need to generate extra money from somewhere.

I know . That's why I thought it strange that anyone would think CO'H injury was a cunning SISU plan

I am an admirer of O'Hare and he has the potential to improve further. He brings a lot to the team.

I do think Burnley's interest has brought a bit of hysteria to our fans though? Good players will attract interest get used to it.

For all his qualities he still lacks composure in the box and his shooting and assists need to improve. Another fault is he tends to turn with the ball away from his support players and run into opposition traffic.

Yes when he is out we will miss him. But he hardly missed a game last season and I think we won about 16 and lost about 17.

I really hope we hang onto him as I think he will only get better. But if he is out injured for a few games it might force us to develop as a team rather than just rely on the same way of playing all the time.

I hope for his sake it is a fairly minor injury. I dont think he is the sort who wants to be sat on the sidelines.

He will be gone for minimum of 8 weeks, its a bad one and will need time to get back up to speed. We will have to go without or find a solution within the group or bring in a short term loan in.

Problem is we will have to lose a couple off the wage bill to get player or players in. I said it before the quicker we got rid of the fringe players the better chance we had of keeping and adding to our better players.

Kane, Waghorn and Hilsner have turned out to be expensive mistakes and we now are left with 3 players on decent contracts sitting at home without complaint every game day. MR will have to pull something out of the hat to fill COH position. Allen is not or will ever be the answer switching formation is our only other option if incomings are not available to us. Terrible news, terrible timing and hope he returns strong to help us push on.

Probably the best we can hope for in a way, much less and he might be back before the window closes, much more and we won’t get to use him much before the next one opens.

Think there could be a race between Kelly and O’hare who gets back first unlikely to be until after World Cup

Seemingly only when Kane and Walker/Waghorn bugger off, which could be a good while yet.

That's ok as long as addressed by end of the window. Think we can get by a few weeks. Certainly hope plan B doesn't involve selling one of our other better players though as that could cause issues.

I heard its a bad one and as of yesterday too still not able to get his scan. 10 weeks out at least, such a shame we now need to find a solution which could just come in a change of formation with what we have.

Can't really see any of them being wanted tbh. Certainly will be stuck with the majority of those wages

From a fan perspective I'm pleased. Gives us the best chance of a successful season. Palmer will get his chance but need to make sure we have cover over and above Jamie Allen, who in my eyes is better as a central midfielder. Not creative enough to replace O'Hare.

A chance for someone to step up. Palmer, Tavares, Eccles, Bapaga, Rus, Burroughs, whoever - any of them could grab a load of minutes in some role or other (e.g. Hamer pushed fwd, Eccles fills in).

Let's hope one or more than one take that chance. Bristol team could be interesting. I'll be really disappointed if none of them do enough in training, sub appearances or a Bristol starting spot to force their way in.

Same for Walker and Waghorn as it goes if 433 is a regular option at some point in games. A guaranteed starting spot has opened up. If no one at least tries and busts a gut to take advantage, that'll be a let down.

Basically the worst case scenario for us. No O’Hare until the January window opens, and no money to replace him.

Will be good to see Palmer given minutes. Despite his cameo on Sunday, I'm excited by him.

Unless we manage to ship out Walker, Waghorn and Kane or sell Hamer or Gyokeres for big money.

Sell Hamer (we wont miss his corners or bookings) Get 2 new decent players in until O'hare is back.

Do you think If we do have the room to bring in one more, it will definitely be a 10?

It's all a bit over the top really. Nearly all athletes get an injury at sometime in their career, hamstring injuries are very common as we all know, and nowhere near as bad as cruciate ligament injuries. It's bad timing as far as a sale is concerned, but we didn't want him to leave anyway.

If we go 3412 again, I think I’d rather see Waghorn in that AM role instead of Allen, hems not at the level needed to fill the huge and obvious gap, is more suited to b2b, or paired with another AM

Not too clever for the club either
Had he gone we'd have received a big fee and not had to continue paying the wages which would have given us decent options

Which I completely understand, but it pretty hard having empathy for multi million pound businesses and millionaires. I'm sure he'll be ok.

I'm not sure I can take too much more of Allen at AM.

Does a job at CM but just totally ineffective at AM.

Hopefully Palmer can get his levels up quickly.
