bowers-sfc Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 Failed a fitness test yesterday, fell on his ankle. Looks quite serious, scan on Monday . Looking about 3 -4 games. Today, chappers in for lallana, de ridder not starting. Barnard injury.... Broke down in training, looks serious again. Lallana had injections to try help, but it made his feet swell up.

Won't bring the same skill level to the game, might be a darned sight more effective in front of goal though. If we could get him into the same position that Adam has been in and missed with his shot or header we might get a lot more success from Chappers.

sotonist Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 I don't get your point..? We can bring in backups if we want. We can but we haven't because we've got a talented player like holmes sitting there on the quad list giving the illusion of backup. It's one of my pet peeves, along with things like having a midfielder as your first choice backup for a full back position, meaning when your first choice full back gets injured you've weakened in two positions.

Agreed 100% about the skill level, but I've always liked Chaplow. Kind of player who gets stuck in and makes things happen, he'll probably get sent off after 15 minutes so it'll be academic anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 On twitter only described as a 'knock' so hopefully not as serious as the first poster makes out. This is the right kind of game for Chappers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 Under what situation could Lallana get injured and it not be a huge blow? Missing him in the championship is IMO like missing MLT in the premiership. No back up player could get close to him. If you're lucky enough to have a player that good, you run the risk of being weakened by their absence. I'd hoped he'd be back for west ham, and don't think we'll beat them without him, but that's football isn't it. Just have to hope he's back ASAP and plays as often as possible. I don't see it that way, adrian. Yes, in stature terms we can start thinking about Lallana heading same way as MLT. However, the big difference is the quality at the Club now. Losing MLT from that team was a hell of a lot worse than losing Lallana from this team. He's still pretty damned important, though, and I'd love to see him there on Tuesday because he's not really "markable", if you know what I mean.

Granted, but if we didn't have Holmes (who i really rate aside from his injury troubles) we might have had better backup ready than Chaplow and not only might have fared better form the off, but we'd have had Chappers to bring on in the second half where he's been so effective so far.

alpine_saint Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 Lallana does seem to have good recuperative powers. Wasnt there one point last season when we thought we'd seen the last of him for months ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 I'm amazed how we seem to come back from a break with more players crooked than before the break:?

up and away Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 I think Chaplow, De Ridder, Guly, Holmes who can all do a job in various positions aren't exactly back-up anyway. They just show it's a squad game and you need different systems. However much we spent in January I don't see any team we'd have being as good without Lallana. So much of our game utilises him. But I think those players mentioned are 'reserves' of a very high standard. I'd like to see a really top striker in with Lambert though. Then if Lallana is out at least you have another major goal threat, whereas Guly, Connolly and Barnard I see as partners for Lambert and unlikely to ever be the main man. I hope we're still trying to convince Maynard personally. Lallana is the one Premier quality player we have. Cork could do a job there and Guly could be useful now and again, but the rest are just not good enough. I have not seen anything from Maynard to indicate he is Premier class but he could well lead our line to success. It's just a good job Ricky is doing the business.

Ian the Red Posted 15 October, 2011 Share Posted 15 October, 2011 Lallana is a wonderful player, but we still created enough chances to win today without him. If Ricky got injured then we would be in ****e. We have two very important players, Ricky and AL - lose both, we will have a problem, lose one and we have enough cover. We were good enough today to win, and should have won, but a point at Derby is good enough. We now need to win the next three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 16 October, 2011 Share Posted 16 October, 2011 (edited) It looks like we managed to boss one of the better teams in this division - away from St Marys - even without our best player. I will take that as another good sign as to just how far we could go this season. The chap who said that Ricky Lambert was actualy our most important player was perfectly right - most 'important' player not being quite the same thing as 'best player however.

LGTL Posted 16 October, 2011 Share Posted 16 October, 2011 It's best not to risk him for 4 games then for him to be out for 3 months if we do. It's just a shame it's come with this run of fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjphilsaint Posted 23 October, 2011 Share Posted 23 October, 2011 When we pass it well.. ie: Derby game we are better than anyone. I thought Adam would have provided that element of poise, creativity and craft that would have taken us over the line at Deby well before half time. But I think 7/10 we could beat most teams in this divison without AL as long as we play the possession stuff that we are becoming well known for. BUt it is true we need depth and not just for Adam but fr RIckie and CBs too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 23 October, 2011 Share Posted 23 October, 2011 Someone told me yesterday he's out for 6 weeks. Whether this is true or not I have absolutely no idea. Let's face it whenever Lallana is out injured there are always rumours in abundance which swing from "just a precaution" to "out for the season'. He obviously doesn't heal well at all and we seem to keep trying to play him through injuries, apparently he had a very similar injury to this one last season and played through it with injections.

The Kraken Posted 23 October, 2011 Share Posted 23 October, 2011 Weston seems to have a better-than-most scoop on all things Lallana; here's his quote on the injury. Lallana has suffered an injury to the arch of his foot. Scan does not show any major injury and it looks to be a short term problem. He had the same for 3 games last season but carried on with pain killing injections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 23 October, 2011 Share Posted 23 October, 2011 Think we'll see more than a few changes for the L.Cup game, maybe a few more Academy lads will be " blooded "...? but expect ...Holmes or De Ridder to start on Saturday and maybe even Dickson on the bench. With Harding back fit, might see him play and Fox move up to midfield to fill Hammond's spot. Injury list is building now... Barnard (hasn't played for 6 months !) ..Jaidi (op) Seaborne...Lallana...Fonte...(no more please). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that a side that looks like the one that finished the game yesterday I expect with Harding replacing Hammond. Don't think we have many other options just now.
