Staunton - injured

What a blow for him, and us. In terms of replacement I'd much rather see Sikora given a go than BRE, but an extra CB is now essential in January.

 

Poor, poor management to rush him back in the first place. Really feel for the kid.

 

Agree.The so called seasoned pros like AOC & BRE have shown time after time that they are not up for the fight so what’s to lose going with the odd youngster.But due to his stubbornness with regards to loans and out of contract players McCall finds himself having to play a few of the youngsters in the starting 11.Thats not fair. Most younger players need guidance and kid gloves.Not thrown in to a shit show at the bottom of league 2.This is their futures he’s pissing about with.

 

Ah but it is.

 

From what I've seen Jorge is a footballer.

 

He's got one up on BRE straight away then.

 

On a more serious note, he's got real speed, which we lack across the backline. It can cover for your mistakes and would allow us to press a little higher up the pitch than we can right now.

 

That's the thing isn't it. Someone with BRS's physique can get away with not being a ball player providing he is making the big tackles and winning his headers. Unfortunately as he currently seems incapable of doing either, and looks painfully slow to boot, I would much rather give Sikora or A.N. other a chance

 

Expecting BRE to play in a back 3 playing the ball out is beyond belief, He is a big lumbering centre back, put him in the middle of a back four to intercept crosses and you will get more from him

 

Sad news. Wish him nothing but the best, Hopefully we don't rush him back and see him next season.

 

Absolutely agree. A young man whom has shown potential. Certainly wish him a speedy recovery.

 

Stuart will soon knock that bad habit out of him.

 

If we don't stay in the league, I doubt we will see him next season.
