    That will be a nice surprise if he can even make the bench, the way they were talking it was mid January at best.

    That’s great news, we have missed him quite badly, especially at set piece delivery.

    I think that is an overly optimistic view of what Alexander said to the T&A:

    There is more encouraging news with Jamie Walker, who should be back in the fray by mid-January if all goes to plan.

    “Jamie is going to be a few weeks. It’s bone bruising so it’s just about the healing process with him.

    “I don’t think there’s much the medical team can do to speed that up.

    “It’s more about Jamie’s power of recovery and his pain threshold, which I think is really high.

    “He was trying to put himself forward for last night and the Crewe game. But he’s not going to make that.

    I read that as Walker wanting to play but Alexander saying there is little chance before the middle of this month.

    True but how many times have we heard a players a few weeks off then is magically on the bench, Its all mind games

    A player like walker needs to play if he puts his hand up , ligament damage fair dos but bruising is mainly pain management

    He was in a boot on Christmas day and GA said the bruising was on the bone. Sounded pretty serious. I'd be surprised if he was fully fit for Saturday.

    I haven’t got Covid. I do have horrible virus every day another symptom. Not eating much at all. You have my sympathy.

    Ouch, not nice at Christmas, New Year or any time. Hope everyone is fine and dandy now, or very close to it.

    I wondered where you’d been General, strangely because I just drove along Stonewall drive, General Forest drive (missed Lee Drive) and then onto Mosley Drive! Imagine living in a development named after some very “Confederate” icons. Not sure who Mosley was but I can’t see it being Oswald! Anyway, get well soon.
