[matty1878]

he’s been great. guessing that’s another loan then if he’s back?

thanx mate you’ve give your all

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Such a shame for him and us.

Hope his recovery goes well.

 

[Titus Shambles]

A big miss in the middle of the pitch.

 

[Nymzee]

Said it would be ACL at the time. Any knee thing like that always is.

He was pretty decent for us but nowhere near worth he purchase option we currently have.

 

[Hogwild]

Shame for him - was critical and will need proper replacing. Doubt we would have paid the high price to buy him, but was an asset while he was here.

 

[Azza]

Just going to keep him are we.

 

[BlueInNZ]

So, bad news confirmed.

His parent club must be thrilled we let him try and run it off.

Fair enough point in the usual context but the situation was quite unusual; holding on to a narrow lead, 10 mins to go, no sub to bring on so down to 10 men. They'd be more criticized if he came straight off and it was then found to be nothing serious.

Wishing him all the best.

If he tore the ACL, he can't tear it any more...

How unfortunate for Orel Mangala. Wishing the guy a full and speedy recovery.

He’s with the angles now

 

[Brownie]

I think he'll be a huge miss, unfortunately. He and Gana made for a nicely balanced pair in centre mid and clearly enjoyed playing together. It's allowed Gana to play much more of his natural game, not being too worried about being caught out of position when he's off hunting the ball.

I also liked him for his calmness, being good at the basics of football and not doing stupid things for no reason, which you can't say for many of our players. Big shame.

"how can you be --wait for it-- so obtuse"

[Brett Angell Delight]

Gutted for him. Was growing into the team nicely. Hopefully he recovers well and picks up where he left off.

 

[bluesb1970]

I might be being a little tough on the physios, but how come he was sent back on when he was injured? Surely it was obvious his knee was gubbed??
