    Gary Bowyer has just said that The Don will be out for two months because of an operation on his toe.
    Bit of a blow, that.
    He said we've got ten players out with injury. We aren't having the best of luck on that front.

    Big blow that for us.

    Bowyer thinks we've enough cover but I wouldn't mind us getting a player in on a short term deal.

    Did he say where he got the injury? Wondered if the foul on him at Morecambe was a bad one.

    I don't think we can, can we? Unless it's an out of contract player who might take a month of that time to get match fit anyway?

    Bad blow for us that. We really missed him today. Just wasnt sticking up front in that 2nd half. Vaughan put a right shift in, but not as effective overall as Donaldson playing up top on his own

    Really bad blow is that. Ten players out injured? Wow didn't think it was that many.

    Edited to add, just been trying to work it out and can only come up with 9 unless Longridge is one of them?

    Yes, it was at Morecambe.
    If you remember he got his foot stamped on mid way through the second half. A clear foul which the ref didn't give.

    I don't remember if he said anything about Connolly's injury.
    He was hopeful that Pritchard's back spasm would quickly clear up.

    Caught it on the Gary Bowyer interview WY Sports (the ‘You Know’ show). Agree, as we have few striker options and the way Vaughan conducts himself, he will rapidly be heading towards another ban!

    Pritchard playing the central role is quickly becoming key for us, he was excellent first half.

    Vaughan has to keep his temperament under control.

    Riley, Devitt, Reeves, Gibson, Palmer, Donaldson, Pritchard, Connolly, French, Longridge

    I can't locate it anywhere but I seem to recall reading / hearing that Longridge does indeed have an injury.

    Yes, those were the others I'd got but just wasn't sure about Longridge as hadn't seen anything - thanks for confirming.

    Yes, very clearly. I think I said on the thread about Donaldson that it wouldn't surprise me if that tackle kept him out this week. I wasn't expecting two months, which is extremely unfortunate, especially for a player whose general fitness is so good.

    We might have to play the Barcelona way with no striker

    Heard Connolly out for 6 weeks and Donaldson will in reality be more like 12 weeks!
