    Its the manner in which we went down and the fact it was entirely avoidable.

    Focks sake. Just when it was looking like he may have a part to play.

    Poor kid. We won;t see him again in a City shirt then.

    Could be news and silver lining. Insurance might pay wages of Riley now. Use cash for new player.

    Feel bad for the young man.

    Coming here must feel like the biggest mistake he ever made.

    Hope he can recover and find first team football somewhere.

    Never nice to see a player lose a big chunk of his career with bad injury.

    Very bad injury, hope he recovers. I expect it will be next season if he recovers well, but no guarantee’s with that type of injury.

    Sorry for him. Don’t think we’ll see him play for us again, and unfortunately I think it’s a lower league career for him, if that. Mentally this must be very tough.

    Awful for the lad, wish him the best for the future. As others have said we won’t see him again now.

    Not his fault, but him among others have been a costly mistake. Another to be grateful to Rahic and Abbott for.

    Blimey. Did this happen at training? In the pre season games he had shown a lot more ‘intent’. Really so very very difficult for him and City! I guess they will have to reconsider what is left of the transfer budget.

    Put in percepective Fordy mate. Hundreds of people from Yemen. Pakistan and Afghanistan and Congo risking life and limb in Channel for a better life in UK. JR will come back. Only a young lad.

    Yep. According to the T&A article he did it in training. Nobody near him, sounds like he slipped and twisted his knee.

    Hope for a speedy recovery for the lad. I like his attitude of wanting to be around the team and helping out at the club whilst he's recovering.

    This is my genuine fear of this bloated squad... Injuries. It will uncover the lack of depth.

    Good luck to Joe, shocking injury

    That's really terrible news to hear. Hope he makes as speedy a recovery as possible.
