Dig Dig Posted 8 August, 2019 Posted 8 August, 2019 Great news and we are lucky that he has signed a new deal after all the unnecessary stick he got from certain sections of our fan base.
Dusic Posted 27 August, 2019 Author Posted 27 August, 2019 Sounds like a possible ankle/achilles injury tonight. Not good at all. First name on the teamsheet and a massive factor in our attacking play. Hoping for good news...would be a massive blow if he is out for a decent while.
qwertyell Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 ...If he's done his Achilles, that could be his season done. Not sure we can afford to lose our player of the year. Fingers crossed it's not too bad. Djenepo and Boufal, time to step up. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
Saints foreva Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 Ralph said it didn't look good but also said that there isn't much swelling.
WinchesterSaint Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 Ruptured Achilles or calf I would suspect, the former is at least 5 months out even for the professionals
whelk Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 The only good thing is that we seem to have more options for cover but huge blow
wild-saint Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 Ruptured Achilles or calf I would suspect, the former is at least 5 months out even for the professionals �� Well i doubt its a ruptured achilles if he is walking with a boot on. Maybe ligament damage In his ankle?
stevy777_x Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 Hum... Not too sure about this one. The way Ralph talked about it in the interview doesn t appear too long term...
WinchesterSaint Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 Went down with no one near him apparently, that doesn’t sound like ligament damage to me as that’s normally an impact injury . Hoping I’m wrong.Well i doubt its a ruptured achilles if he is walking with a boot on. Maybe ligament damage In his ankle?
shurlock Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 Went down with no one near him apparently, that doesn’t sound like ligament damage to me as that’s normally an impact injury . Hoping I’m wrong. Not really. ACLs frequently happen without any contact.
WinchesterSaint Posted 27 August, 2019 Posted 27 August, 2019 There would be swelling though with something like an ACL, no swelling according to Ralph. I ruptured my Achilles a few years back, no swelling, walked off the pitch but the damage was done. Fingers crossed it’s just a sprain.Not really. ACLs frequently happen without any contact.
Toon Saint Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 It didn’t look great from where I was sat. He was clearly in a lot of pain and was clutching his ankle. It didn’t appear to be an impact injury as there was no one near him. Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as it looked at the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shroppie Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 It definitely looked ankle rather than knee. May have turned it, in which case it's a sprain - 1-3 weeks, rather than ligament tear 6+ weeks Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I ruptured my Achilles a few years back, no swelling, walked off the pitch but the damage was done. Fingers crossed it’s just a sprain. Torn Achilles are nasty (again can occur through noncontact). If you’re a professional sportsman, they’re probably harder to make a full recovery from than doing your ACL. But hopefully the lack of initial swelling is a positive sign.
tajjuk Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 It's a loss, but would have been a bigger lost last year, we have Djenepo and Boufal pushing for a start, its probably the area we have the best strength in depth.

Hopefully the Intl break comes at a good time but if he is out for more than a month or so, it will almost certainly impact our league position.
darren2 Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 Lets hope he's not allowed to visit Blackpool while off injured!

Fingers crossed he's back for the Sheff Utd game, however unlikely.
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 Well it was bound to happen eventually. We got very lucky last season that he didn't miss a single game through injury - which is very rare for a player in his position especially who relies on bursts of pace and is most likely to get fouled. I say lucky because we had no depth in that position last season, and would have had to play JWP, Armstrong or Sims in his place - none of which would have been able to offer anything like his attacking threat. At least this season we have other options, with Djenepo and a seemingly rejuvenated Boufal able to play that role. Hopefully this will all be a moot point and Redders won't be out too long though.

I think you're pretty spot on. Injuries are to be expected, at least over 2 or 3 seasons! So it was bound to happen. And as you say, LW we have Djenepo and Boufal.
Raging Bull Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 I thought he kicked the ground as he went to shoot? No that’s scuffer Adams
Shroppie Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 I thought he kicked the ground as he went to shoot?It did happen as he shot. No sure if he caught the ground or his standing foot turned. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Shroppie Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 (edited) No that’s scuffer AdamsHow we needed a few quick mis-hit scuffs! Our shots were too considered and cleanly hit. The keeper had time to anticipate and set himself fir the saves. Except for Long's, which of course just missed. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Edited 28 August, 2019 by Shroppie Swear filter!
Useful Idiot Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 To me it looked like he slipped and then over-stretched the ligaments on the inside of his ankle. Here's the position his standing foot ended up in.
saintwbu Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 No that’s scuffer Adams Thank god we’ve got Ings to hit everything straight at the keeper instead
Roo1976 Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 Thank god we’ve got Ings to hit everything straight at the keeper instead lol we had to buy him aswell.......
TWar Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 May be grasping at straws here but the Mail claims Hasenhuttl is unsure whether Redmond will play united on Saturday. You'd think if it was a serious injury he would be definitely ruled out for the weekend.

Presumably he will update tomorrow but I would think best case scenario is he will be back for the Sheff Utd game.
dobbo Posted 28 August, 2019 Posted 28 August, 2019 Would not be walking on a ruptured Achilles and foot would be pointed down to shorten the tendon.

S-Clarke Posted 29 August, 2019 Posted 29 August, 2019 Ralph has just said 2-3 weeks for Redmond, that's a boost. Although he has confirmed that Mousa is now also injured too.

Baird of the land Posted 29 August, 2019 Posted 29 August, 2019 At least the international break is coming up which will swallow one of those weeks
DuncanRG Posted 29 August, 2019 Posted 29 August, 2019 This could be a big call for Ralph. If we lose and play badly against United and Redmond's getting back to fitness for Bournemouth, does he rest him so he can play at Pompey?
pimpin4rizeal Posted 29 August, 2019 Posted 29 August, 2019 Whilst I don’t want redmond hurt.. it’s kinda exciting times to see what boufal and djenepo can do with starts now both have higher ceilings then redders anyway.. I wouldn’t worry too much

Turkish Posted 29 August, 2019 Posted 29 August, 2019 How times change. A player our fans uses to boo, ironically cheer and constantly slag off is now a key player w can’t be without.
Shroppie Posted 30 August, 2019 Posted 30 August, 2019 In that case just play Boufal behind two strikers, or just off one if we're going more defensive. It's time to commit to playing Boufal regularly and letting him run the attack.I'd like to think that would work but I think he's still too much of a free spirit to be the lynchpin of the attack. If he has the ball, he can make things happen, or lose it, but patience and finding a killer ball are not his strong suits. Think we need Armstrong and/or JWP to be pulling the strings.

egg Posted 30 August, 2019 Posted 30 August, 2019 At the moment JWP is struggling to pull the strings on his boots. Behave. JWP is disliked by fans who want cruyff turns, hard tackles or running around like a headless chicken. He's a decent footballer who's played well this season.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk It’s not like redmond ever is greedy makes bad decisions or loses the ball when trying to beat a man, kinda crazy the way he escapes any criticism these days when making these mistakes but boufals are highlighted. Still think one massive difference is boufal can beat players much easier whilst redmond looks best when picking up the ball in pockets of space which doesn’t really involve beating a man so much

pimpin4rizeal Posted 30 August, 2019 Posted 30 August, 2019 Find pockets of space is a skill - it requires movement and awareness. Probably also due to the hasenhuttl style, now we play on the counter when we win the ball he has space to run into .. last time Wheb bouf and redmond played under Pellegrino it was slow attack all opposition defence back made this harder to do.. can’t see why boufal couldn’t be great at the same
Heisenberg Posted 10 November, 2019 Posted 10 November, 2019 Seems to have returned to the old Redmond. The new improved contract curse
Saints foreva Posted 10 November, 2019 Posted 10 November, 2019 Just seems like he had a purple patch. Will do okay for us in the Championship next season.
