Rodwell Injury

GhostOfDixie · December 17, 2009

According to Moyes it looks like a hamstring - so what's that? a month at least? He didn't sound too optimistic.

Bad news, it just gets worse and worse to be honest.

In all honesty, I was surprised to see him starting today. Considering the amount of football he's played at such a young age.

Osman and Fellaini in the middle then, or 4-4-2.

Good job we got that London Fella.

Totally agree, really didn't understand why this wasn't seen as an opportunity to rest the lad.

Not sure I would have put Fellaini in though, I'd have rested him too. What happened to that Peterlin lad?

Good news is that is one of the few positions that we have adequate cover in Heitinga.

Gwladys Nights · December 18, 2009

Johnny H's needed to cover for Yobo, Distin and Jags though. Hibbert at center back is a mauling waiting to happen, he got lucky against Spurs a couple of times.

My head hurts. Why in the heck are we droping like flies injury wise. Will it ever end?

Certainly tempers the optimism one might have after recent results.

You just hope there isn't a breaking point when the kiddie corps we put forth last night emerges as a standard lineup out of necessity.

A hammy can be anywhere between a week and as long as six but thats usually for older players. That is unless you've pulled it off the bone which you'd be out for a year but its extremely rare.

Absolutely wank.

Moyes should've left him out after moaning he's played too many games.

Fellaini and Ossie in the middle on Sunday....Carsley's gonna have a laugh.

Put Duffy at centre back with Neil and stick Heitinga at DM.

Wouldn't have thought Ossie will start on Sunday. Two games in 4 days straight back from injury.
At least Rodwell will get a rest. I am still hopeful we can beat these. Larsson looks dangerous with the set piece. Got to get in Ferguson and Bowyers faces. It could be a bit tasty out there on Sun.

The only one with a bit of bite on Sunday will be Fellaini...and he'd get sent off.

Other than that, we'll get bossed phsycially.

Its gonna be another draw...which is just not good enough.
