Sounds like we need a striker in the January window unless Bojan miraculously steps up about 3 or 4 levels from where he was at last time we saw him (v Guiseley) 😭 There is no way we are getting anymore strikers in unless a few get long term injuries. We don't have an endless pot of money and squad places. |

Not looking like Healey's gonna be around much. Duff says they're not really sure what the problem is. If it's to do with the ACL graft as he mentioned in the PC then he will need surgery to correct it and we won't see him much (if at all) this side of Easter.** Hopefully it isn't that and it's just a tweak (again as MD alluded to) so he can be back in the squad before the new year. ** Having said that, surgery recover times seem a lot shorter than they used to. Edit: I've also been told (by an ex-physiotherapist) that if (as MD mentioned) they took some of his hamstring for the graft it may cause him problems for the rest of his career, hope that's not the case. Last bit is true, for my reconstruction they took some tendon out of my knee which is better for allowing to return to sports. Only downside is not being able to bend the knee as much as the other but you barely notice that. Taking out of the hamstring means weak hamstring for life. |

He did mention he’d had that specific procedure but said that it was causing an issue with a nerve. I was wondering if with it potentially being nerve and not anything muscular that’s been affected could an op be put off and the nerve problem be managed with pain relief until the end of the season? I took it as that maybe he’s feeling pain because of the nerve and not any actual injury,could have misconstrued it though. |

Does TBC mean MD doesn't know how long they are out for? Spencer is training with the squad, Kane and Kasumu are close. Healey they don't know what the problem is. May be to do with a graft for an old ACL injury. So they don't know. That's from Duff at the press conference. Sounds like Radulovic could be on the bench on Saturday. Ladapo can maybe manage 20 minutes. Where have you got the Ladapo 20 minutes from? He's had a full pre season so there's something wrong if he can only do 20 minutes Yes he hasn't had much game time according to Duff but he'll be capable of more than 20 minutes. I'll be surprised if he doesn't start on Saturday given the amount of travelling Koroma has done. |

I heard Bojan good for 20-30 mins, so off the bench.
Re Healey, the lad must be tearing his hair out. If there is no actual muscle damage and something is triggering the nerve, wouldn't they be able to manage the pain with steroid injections?
(Says the guy who's disc is bulging onto his sciatic nerve and needs treatment 😅)

I like Healey and especially when he’s fit. But wow, another fantastic signing we did our research on

‘Healy will get 15 or 20 this season’ plenty were proclaiming, be lucky if he plays 15 games. Can’t quite understand why people are claiming we’ve been unlucky with him, the lad is approaching 30 and has had some major injuries, he’ll only ever play a bit part role for us in between spells on the sidelines

Summer transfer window was built on if, buts and maybes |

Sad news about Healey
I’m not fond of Harratt but he’s never injured and letting him go on loan just seems strange

Could go either way with Healey - they are right to take time to do investigations and hopefully just nerve damage.
Having had 2 x ACL ops on the same knee (injured playing football!) I have had one graft from the hamstring and one from the quad. Personally I preferred the second time with the quad, but having said that lots of players have zero issues with hamstring when used for ACL graft.
My hamstring has been fine…it is actually my other hamstring which causes issues but that is from lower back issues/sciatica, which hopefully is similar to Rhys.
If hamstring hasn’t fully regenerated as strong as needs to be, then that could be a decent amount of time out injured for Healey but hopefully nerve related and quick fix and back soon, as I do rate him.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't start on Saturday given the amount of travelling Koroma has done. Just watched it again. Yes it was Radulovic he mentioned for 20 minutes. The reason I confused it is he said Ladapo had not had much match time so they would need to build that up. Suggests he will not be playing full games. |

Talking of hamstrings, I see Pat Jones is out til 2025 with another injury to his hamstrings before he's played for Exeter, I think. Poor kid, he maybe needs to look at another career.

If that's true I really feel for the kid. I struggled with hamstring injuries all through playing football. I always think about what could have been if I hadn't had such injuries. I reckon I could have made it to reserve division 1 of the district league if my legs were stronger. |

Current injury list; Balker ( Early 2025) Healey ( Week by week) Spencer ( 5th October) Kane ( 14th September) Kasumu ( 21 September - 5th October) Radulovic ( 14th September).......Have I missed anyone? Added estimated return dates based on Duff's original comments. So am I right in thinking the squad for Northampton or Blackpool will be missing Balker (long term), Healey (timescale update this week?) & possibly Miller (?).......It sounded like the others were all in training & nearing full fitness from MD last Thursday. |

Balker definitely and Healy most likely. Miller not sure, sounds like a precaution taking him off but will see in the presser this week. Not sure Kane and kas back yet either....... |

Miller is a blow.
Feels like we get a new injury every week and to key players.
