I would imagine to save time over the coming months the guy who writes the tweets will simply cut and paste this.....
Save him typing it out every 2 weeks

Merely a precaution - expected back by November.

Tight calf doesn't sound too serious, better not to be risked in a friendly.
Can we read anything into Peltier being made captain today?

We are making him have all his injures now so he can have a full season with him and Wells up front scoring 30 each!
GOING UP UP UP

my brother is being rested from a family do tonight due to his general 'tightness'....town don't have enough staff to be able to get in his pockets and his wallet has never been seen although its size and thickness is the stuff of fables..
I drove from heathrow in the middle of last night with a right pain in my neck, thankfully she went to sleep on the M1...btw, one bloke in Sardinia(or where we were anyway) in a football t shirt MACCLESFIELD!!!!!! ffs it takes all sorts..

Think we'll be lucky to get about a dozen games out of him next season

Here we go!
It'll be Lynch next. Love both of them but nigh on impossible to build round them. Need serious options for both... and then just get what we can, when we can, from those two.

I still can't believe some people are hanging on to the hope that he will stay relatively injury free for the season. Paterson might still come good !!!!!

This is the reason we need another striker. ..robins will continue to play ward up with wells when jv is out.

Sadly Vaughan seems to be turning into a sick note and this could be the 3rd season on the trot when our season ends at Christmas. Sadly we don't have the quality strength in depth to cover when he is absent and this is not the season to end up in a relegation dogfight especially as there are no Yeovils to fall back on.

Crikey hit those panic buttons - we rest an injury prone player with a niggle for a preseason friendly.
How can that be anything but sensible management.
Lets buy an expensive striker who can sit on the bench when Wells and Vaughan are fit. Surely the better option is to loan a replacement when needed rather than pay a salary for the whole year for a player who should be
a. Good enough to replace Vaughan when needed. b. Content enough to sit on the bench when Vaughan is fit.

I feel sorry for the lad as he has had a lot of problems but we can't let his presence or absence define our season - and future. Tough financially and possibly solvable via the loan market - but I can't see anything but a struggle for us with Wells as a lone ranger.

Vaughany is our bonus striker, not our main man. Nothing knee jerk about it. The problem has been staring us in the face for months. Only a fool would build around James Vaughan.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using proboards Whilst I agree with you re sensible management the problems with Vaughan continues, I don't think many of us will be surprised if Vaughan has a lot of treatment table time this season again. But in my opinion its better to be pro active the re active, We would be better looking now for a striker who can spend more time on the pitch bench than in the treatment room

We should be looking for a first choice striker and treat any game JV plays as a bonus.
We've enough "back up" strikers in Paterson, Ward, Bunn, even Stead and even Carr.
Signing 3 quality players for the spine of the team will be a big improvement to what we currently have.

History dictates Vaughan will be injured for a large part of this season, but let's just wait and see before we write off building a team around him

Everton and Norwich got fed up of waiting. Goals will be scarce if we continually wait for James Vaughan. Lovely player, who I'm sure we will use as and when... but we need another main man to build around.

We will see at the end of the season, I'm guessing you know what I meant as you seem a very intelligent man. Won't we be building out team around Nahki anyway. We can't spend that amount if money often so when we do, I would hope he is our future.

Lovely player, who I'm sure we will use as and when... but we need another main man to build around. What concerns me is, I hope all this Vaughan etc etc doesn't effect Wells, He signed for the club with all the signs been that JV would be his striking partner, Someone he can build a partnership with like he did at Bradford with Hanson, Now with JV missing for large parts of the season and the other strikers obviously atm not been up to it, Wells will be getting frustrated at not been able to show case his talent, The whole JV thing imo really needs resolving now, Yes a good asset to the team when fit, But imo should be used as a 3rd striker a super sub, We need a more reliable player on the pitch to assist Wells, Otherwise he will soon be looking for the exit door.

A Hanson type for Wells to play off would be ideal

Agree 100 %. , wells alone does not work, we've seen it,. ...and just changing the thread slightly towards Wells. As he can't really play as a lone ranger he is going to have a similar problem to Rhodes in terms of becoming a Premiership player. I guess salvation for both of them may be that a few teams will copy van Gaal (who of course was only copying Robins :-) and Holland/Man U and play 3 at the back and 2 up front.

Wells did not score the amount of goals he did at Bradford as playing as a lone striker which player colleague Hanson will tell you and playing him in a lone role simply means that Town are not getting the best out of what was a very costly signing and arquably is being totally mismanaged. . Building from the back is so important as any successful manager will tell you and i cannot understand why 2 quality,experienced centre backs have not been signed to plug the massive hole which were the main part of the failings of last season and surely it is simple to see that as long as the defence can keep a clean sheet then all the forwards need to do is score 1 goal to win otherwise a 0 - 0 would get us a point . I personally do not think that Robins is getting the best out of our players and has yet to prove that he can gel these individuals into a competetive Team thus with the new season nearly upon us, it makes me ask the question - ( WHATS CHANGED FROM LAST SEASON )
