He’s not wrong though is he? Of course Benji is wrong. Any post about a relatively minor injury to one of our current players that begins "Catastrophic blow to O’Neil" already contains so much hyperbole that the rest of the post is irrelevant. If it said it is unfortunate, disappointing, an added difficulty or something of that ilk then there would be no issue. He is our best finisher at the moment and I am sure the manager would like to have him available but with or without Clucas we lack any real creativity in our midfield. If Benji had been around in the time of King Zedekiah I think he might have been lowered down the well instead of Jeremiah.

Then it is a serious blow to MON if he doesn't replace him with the correct player.

Then it is a serious blow to MON if he doesn't replace him with the correct player. We both agree that it will be a challenge to the new manager to pick the right replacement (and/or adjust his gameplan to suit his available options) but Benji went straight to full on "oh woe is me" "catastrophic" which at the present time is a complete and total over-reaction.

I did actually say if true it’s a broken foot and if it is I stand by catastrophic , terrible , potentially huge blow to O’Neil and his management team , let’s hope it’s not true but 2 months without clucas right now is a huge blow to this team in my opinion , of course it’s about opinions but these games may well be decided by narrow margins and we need to win 3 of the next 5 at home .

It was done of the hypothetical of “if”. So I don’t think it was. Of course it was. Even if he is out for say 8 weeks it is wild hyperbole to call it a "Catastrophic blow to O’Neil If true". Fortunately I don't see Michael O'Neill as the hysterical lead in a bad Victorian melodrama type. As an International manager he must be used to discovering players are unavailable at short notice and having to adjust his team selection and tactics to suit the players who are available. I would love one of the journalists at the press conference at the end of the week to ask him for his views on Oatcake oracle Benji's view that an injury to Clucas is a catastrophic blow. However, having seen a couple of his press conferences where it is apparent that he doesn't seem to suffer fools gladly I am not sure the unfortunate journalist would particularly enjoy the verbal evisceration that would be likely to follow.

The only thing I can read from that (apart from you are still acting like a 5 year old having a tantrum) is that you are desperate for us to go on a losing run to justify yourself so that you can come back on here and go "ner, ner, told you so".

Which means you started it when you were about 38.

Not sure why holding an opinion is childish but I can assure you give the commitment I show to be there I don’t want us to go on a Losing run . Nor do I want O’Neil to fail quite the reverse . The one thing I do want is scholes gone that’s been my big beer for 5 years and I’ve said since then until that happens the club will not improve at its core

Whilst you were warning us of the Gravity crocodile we were beating Chelsea,Man City & Man Utd at home and was the best of BMX we got to see. Recruitment from January 2016 onwards is where it all started. 1 Disastrous signing after another since then.

Recruitment from January 2016 onwards is where it all started. 1 Disastrous signing after another since then. When we beat Man Yoo 2-0 at home that showed us the limitations of Hughes. I didn't go for the whole we are doomed thing from that point but it showed that we had nothing past Bojan and we needed something fast. And Hughes never did that.

Perhaps they don't want to give any team news to Wigan. New manager bounce in my opinion often happens because the opposition are not sure how a new manager will play.

I thought that was the point of press conferences ? Talk about the opposition, talk about how the team have trained, any injury news.
