exit2 Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Just heard on Solent that Lallana is out for 6 months with serious ligament dmage to his knee? Do I hear that right?
Weston Saint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Just heard on Solent that Lallana is out for 6 month with serious ligament dmage to his knee?This is not correct. It is all speculation at this stage.
trousers Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 This'll teach us for not concentrating 100% on the league...
Tractor_Saint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Bit gutted but a team cant rely on a single player. Hoping for a quick recovery though.
Saints foreva Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 No they said 6-8 weeks. Goodbye promotion.
sfc4prem Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Prepared to see us slide down the table from now until Lallana's return.
trousers Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 This is not correct. It is all speculation at this stage. But if it's speculation that may mean it's true, surely? If it's categorically "not correct" that makes it a lie rather than speculation...?
um pahars Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 This is not correct. It is all speculation at this stage. I'm speculating that his presence is massive for the team. Today showed how much we miss his creativity.
Roger Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Surely its time to buy ryan harley. Just the player we need imo. He would be ideal.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 But its a fairly bad looking injury Weston? More than a couple of weeks?
niceandfriendly Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 This could well be true, but solent said they received a text message from someone claiming to be a friend of lallanas saying he will be out for this long. I could have texted that in, and I've never met the lad. Let's wait until we hear from the club. In Adkins interview he clearly said "we expect him back sooner rather than later".

Weston Saint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 But its a fairly bad looking injury Weston? More than a couple of weeks?The club will not know much more until Wednesday at the earliest. That is why I am saying it is pure speculation and so do his family.
niceandfriendly Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 3 months is "sooner" than 6 months... Congratulations. Five stars for trousers!!!!!!!!!
K,Billy's supersound Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Surely its time to buy ryan harley. Just the player we need imo. He would be ideal. him or maybe test bournmouths resolve and make a bid for mark pugh?
VectisSaint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Adkins said he (and Hammond) expected back sooner rather than later. Didn't give the impression that it was too bad to me. We can't really consider ourselves promotion material if we can't deal with losing 1 player - I'm not sure we can't deal with it, but if we can't then it makes a mockery of those saying we don't need to strengthen.
Nexstar Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 If this is true it would be time to spend some serious cash again.

It is very worrying how lacklustre we appear without Lallana. We lack a cutting edge and resort to long ball at every opportunity.
haddock22 Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 this is such bad news he makes big difference guted feel less confident about utd game n might get thrashing now instead of a possible win
SuperMikey Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Michael Kightly on loan from Wolves PLEASE.
RobM Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Whilst this is a terrible thing to happen and I desperately hope it isn't true, if it was to happen at any time, during a transfer window has to be the best.
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 It's amazing how it can never go right at this club for more than a week.
InvictaSaint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 If there is any truth to this, and assuming NC is pretty much insisting on promotion this year, then I can only assume that the owners and leaders at SFC will go out and use our comparitively strong financial position to purchase somebody who has the ability to do a similar - if not exactly the same - job as AL for the team. Logic suggests that this is the only reasonable course of action.
THEVMAN Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 The damage was done to the opposite knee that he had surgery on and will be seeing a surgeon over the next couple of days untill then abit of uncertainty.
S-Clarke Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 The damage was done to the opposite knee that he had surgery on and will be seeing a surgeon over the next couple of days untill then abit of uncertainty. Sounds very worrying if im honest.
Viking Warrior Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Jeez we draw to day , and the wrist sliters are out in force on this thread and the post match thread Seems a draw against a very good team is the end of our promotion hopes if we believe the comments on the forum tonght PS if you are going to slit your wrist make sure you use the correct technique
Weston Saint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 One thing I can clear up. It is NOT his Cruciate Ligament
Window Cleaner Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 The damage was done to the opposite knee that he had surgery on and will be seeing a surgeon over the next couple of days untill then abit of uncertainty. so the calf strain thing is a bit of boohockey??
Weston Saint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Medial?No not that either. Final word as I no no more than that at present and I am going to enjoy a good bottle of Merlot now.
CanadaSaint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Jeez we draw to day , and the wrist sliters are out in force on this thread and the post match thread Seems a draw against a very good team is the end of our promotion hopes if we believe the comments on the forum tonght PS if you are going to slit your wrist make sure you use the correct technique Yes, I'm sure the associated active wrist movement is familiar to them.
Huffton Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 I was told by a steward today it was a stress fracture fo something or other, out for about 6 weeks
THEVMAN Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 so the calf strain thing is a bit of boohockey?? Shhhh walls have ears.
alpine_saint Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 The club will not know much more until Wednesday at the earliest. That is why I am saying it is pure speculation and so do his family. This is clear. They have to wait for the swelling to settle before getting a meaningful scan. But my feeling is that it does not look good. Goodbye promotion. We all know the reaction if I said this.

Most people have taken todays draw on the chin.
Greenridge Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Adkins said in his post match interview with Solent that both Hammond and Lallana will be back 'sooner rather than later'. Make of that what you will.
niceandfriendly Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 (edited) We all know the reaction if I said this. You wouldn't say it though alpine. You'd probably have said hello relegation. Edited 15 January, 2011 by niceandfriendly
Chez Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Michael Kightly on loan from Wolves PLEASE. Ankle operation in December out for several months himself. Cook from QPR please.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Sounds quite a concern and todays performance when Lallana and Chaplow were out said it all for me - our promotion credentials will be significantly tarnished without those two. I was of the opinion we didn't need to strengthen with the squad we have, but watching Gobern today was painful - we urgently need more quality in midfield now or watch promotion slip away. If you think that's 'wrist slitting' it's not - it's showing genuine concern.
Window Cleaner Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 we are still going up, maybe just in 2nd. 1st and 2nd will probably be played out at the Withendean when we meet Brighton there.
JustMike Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 No, "the wrist slitting" is occuring because our midfield strength is evaporating before our eyes, and as has been said on here, Lallana is irreplaceable. Most people have taken todays draw on the chin. difference is, you say it week in week out, sooner or later you would be correct, but if any team had injuries to 2 of their top players (AL and RC) then they would too struggle to replace. your constant negativity is becoming a joke!

Well obviously losing 2 CMs out of 3 has a negative effect, it's not supposed to happen that way is it,but we can't keep good players on the bench just in case we have a bit of an injury crisis.Having said that Chaplow getting another injury (unless it's a minor illness) is a bit disconcerting as he hasn't played all that much of late.
Rebel Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 We need another attacking midfielder and another striker - Ryan Harley and Adam Le Fondre would do for me. Today's game proved we still need a little bit more strength in depth. It was 2 points lost today - unless Brighton mess it up we are in the race for second place. Today was our big chance to go top and we blew it - simple as that.

lambertsrightleg Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Medial? if its not the cruciate that covers the medial and posterior cruciat ligament i'm afraid. could still be either collateral ligament though

Edited 15 January, 2011 by benjii
Alain Perrin Posted 15 January, 2011 Posted 15 January, 2011 Two points. 1) Any team would miss Lallana. But we can win without him. 2) Chaplow was absent in the first half, Gobern was (I thought) a little better but both struggled against an effective Notts County. 3) Solent's speculation on Lallana's injury was from someone hanging around the Corporate suite who had a text from someone who knew Lallana. They described this as a 'good source' - horse**** - it is no better than a post on here. Even with Lallana out we should have enough to beat most teams in this league, but let's wait an see shall we. Ok. So three points.
