Been told it’s not ACL but will still face a spell on the sidelines, extent not known yet. Praying the ACL bit is true, even if he’s out for a couple of months. Holden interview on line from training session today , said is his knee

Both should be in the same team.

You seem to want a player who's brilliant for every minute of every game every week. You don't want Messi but when I do ask you for a frame of reference or a player by way of comparison you've got nothing. It's clearly more than 50% of his games but again, you won't have any amount of evidence to what your biases are telling you. Again your not reading what I am saying I never said I want to replace him I said he’s OVERRATED Have you ever watched football? How can you say Powell is overrated? He’s the most creative player we have and you think he’s overrated!! God help us !!!!!!

As well as Powell latest, also said Souttar will be training with the squad later in the week although obviously well off playing but right direction.
At least the ACL worry isn't true re Powell and hopefully not too serious a knock.

The six to eight weeks is a general time frame for an average person not a highly trained professional footballer. Do their bones heal differently No they probably heal quicker than most people because of their diets and general well-being but it takes several weeks to get them back up to their normal fitness levels after six to eight weeks out. Not to mention the inevitable little niggling injuries that occur after a couple of months out.

He was in a splint apparently and unable to drive home after the game so it doesn’t sound great but hopefully just precautionary.

If we do play with a 10 or a 4-3-3 pre-season it's a really good opportunity for the likes of Tezgel and Wright-Phillips to impress.......

Powell was surely going to be shunted somewhere based on the signings we’ve made. Tezgel may get more time as an out and out striker though and same for DWP?

He does have previous for erm....driving erratically in Haslington 😉 Before our time though

Fine wine and Weetabix Legs. Different positions. One’s been very good for six months and hopefully that will continue. One’s been very good for three seasons and has carried the team’s creative threat on his shoulders.

Fine wine and Weetabix Legs. Baker was excellent but he had has many games where he did nothing as he played well. Can he keep up the numbers with the goals? Probably not but for us we definitely need him to. My POTS last season for sure if I’m not allowed Souttar but half a season in such a poor side is tough to judge him. If he doesn’t score in every third game or whatever it was, I hope people give him some slack.

It sounds silly, but just watching him take a pen speaks volumes to me. Compared to some of the jokers who have taken the previous 30 pens for us before he arrived. Hes a class act.

Don't know if it's true but I like to think so. When he signed for Man U he supposedly bought a Bentley and went to training in it on his first day. Ferguson told him not to come in it again until he proved himself so he traded it in and lost a fortune.

It’s deeply weird that he’s being used as a stick to beat Powell with. Especially for (checks notes) injuring his knee…

Instead I was born into this shite 😂

I'd be gutted if Baker was crocked. Powell.....meh. I hope he's not out long term obviously. If it is confirmed he's out for a while then we need to recruit (we need to recruit in that position anyway). Key players are Souttar and Baker. Laurent sounds a player too, but I'll judge him when I've seen him.

Best leave it at that 😉 I know Fergie used to ring his Mum regularly to keep an eye on him.I know a gal lives on his Mum's street. Will ask about that 😃 Hope is true

Dreadful news and a bitter blow to the squad. Has it been officially confirmed? The severity of the injury hasn't, but any knee injury at this stage is a serious blow. Pre Season is getting ramped up and our best player is out with an unconfirmed knee injury and no timeframe to return.
