The good news is that Duff was insinuating it will be Herbie Kane who will be Hodge's natural replacement and not Hogg. I think you've got your knickers on the wrong way. Hodge will never be Hoggs replacement. |

Koroma out for at least a month too[/quote, Another player injured, the curse of the modern day footballer what on earth are they doing. When i think back when i was in the force's many moons a go, we would do a 20 mile march carrying a 35/40 lb Bergen "rugsack and we would just get a few blisters and aches. Now and again there would be a strain or sprain when we went over hillier terrain and nothing like these modern day footballers get. The poor dears are allowed to wear fkn TRAINERS on their BFT nowadays. What happened to full kit plus Bergen. Bet they don't even get beasted properly anymore  |

Bizarre response. Been our best striker by a country mile this season, there’s no competition from the other strikers who are complete bobbins No they're not. We have 4 strikers better than Koroma (as a striker) despite his goals. Hopefully he gets better soon and can take up his deserved place on the bench...we have better, much better You've absolutely lost the plot. We have 4 strikers better than Koroma despite his goals? A strikers main aim is to score goals so that's a daft statement. His goals per minutes is better than Alfie May this season so your response to his injury is just plain stupid. We have better, much better? No we don't. Don't get how anyone can dislike Koroma to be honest, he's a lovely lad off the field, gets disappointed in himself sometimes on the field but that's a self confidence thing and wanting to do better for the team. He also has attributes such as being able to beat a man and score quite regularly that not many of our current squad have. |

Hodge ruled out of both Rep of Ireland U-21 matches this weekend could be a good sign for us, gives him more time to get back for us. |

Jim Crawford’s Ireland U-21s have suffered a double blow on the eve of Friday’s huge Euro 2025 qualifier against Norway with captain Joe Hodge and St Pat’s star Mason Melia both ruled out of the October window with injury. After the pair were assessed by the Irish medical team this week, both players have been ruled out of the games against Norway and Italy (Tuesday) having arrived into the international camp with pre-existing injuries. Crawford said Hodge faces eight to ten weeks out with the midfielder also set to miss November’s Euro 2025 play-off, should Ireland reach that stage. There are no plans to call in any replacements as of yet, as Ireland prepare for a pivotal clash with third seeds Norway at Turner’s Cross tomorrow, knowing three points would secure a play-off as they bid to reach Slovakia 2025 and become the first Irish U-21 side to qualify for a European Championship. The news is a blow to 17-year-old Melia, who received his maiden U-21 call-up last week as a reward for his breakthrough year with the Saints having netted seven goals this term. And having started the last five U-21 internationals, captain Hodge, on loan at Huddersfield Town from Wolves this term, misses out again in this campaign after being sidelined in the September and November windows last year with injury. “It’s still early days. There’s a real likelihood he won’t be involved for eight to 10 weeks which is disappointing for him,” said Crawford of Hodge. “You don’t know though, his recovery powers could be quick, it could be eight weeks. It’s a difficult situation for Joe because he saw the build up to the game and wants to be part of it but it is what it is. I have no doubt that he will be back stronger and better than what he is now. “Joe is a real positive influence around the group. He’s a very talented footballer with enormous potential. He’s resilient so I have no doubt he’ll get rehabbed and get the injury looked after. We wish him well here. I have no doubt he’ll get back to where he was at because of his determination, drive and his ability. www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/international-soccer/double-blow-for-u-21s-as-hodge-and-melia-ruled-out-of-crunch-double-header-with-injury/a1444781038.html |

Bloody hell, had a good game on Saturday , we really are not getting any breaks so many good players getting long injury breaks it’s killing us on the pitch.

It's getting ridiculous. You have to start thinking it's something we are doing, or making the players do.
Is it the pitch somehow? The training pitch?
Managers and coaches with their own training methods have come and gone, but this terrible luck with injuries just goes on and on.

Said a couple of weeks ago, the most important thing in our club is to work out why we are getting so many injuries. It’s beyond a joke |

Managers and coaches with their own training methods have come and gone, but this terrible luck with injuries just goes on and on. I think it’s a combination of bad luck,historically having to over play players(though not this season) and I honestly don’t think over last few seasons having approximately 1500’managers with different ways of doing things has helped. Chuck in we’ve signed a few with iffy records and that just compounds all the above |

It wouldn't surprise me if it is due to us singing injury prone players because we probably need to sign injury prone players if we want quality as quality players will have other options if they aren't injury prone. |

What about the rest. It’s all questions the staff should be asking the recruitment team because we’ve definitely had major issues with injured players for quite awhile. I’m a very positive town fan but it’s something that can’t be ignored and it may be just bad luck . I do wonder though the likes of Danny Ward had a long history of not playing consistently throughout a full season , sign enough of key players like him and you get the problems we are having. |

I think Balkers recovery is going OK. He's walking on it fine, without signs of any aid etc
I asked him how is ankle is and he said "it's good" so hopefully no complications.

Balker is unlucky. His injury record isn't bad. Ut since joining us, 2 illnesses and a broken ankle. That's bad luck, nothing to do with being injury prone. Think he did pickup another injury last season but generally I’d agree.The problem being everyone we seem to sign who has had some sort of of previous injury,ends up being injured with us. I’m not sure hodge has had injury issues previously has he? Healey would be the main one for me you could point to,mainly because of the money spent.if we’re taking a chance on players who have potential to have problems,do you want to be spending 1 million quid. I still personally believe we’ve been very unlucky over the years but that the overriding factor is the sheer number of different managers and therefore different requirements physically in training and games. |

Balker was out for a while last season with a pulled hamstring or quad, can't remember which. It was down in the corner between south stand and kilner, went to clear a ball and got pushed while doing so. Think it was either the West Brom or Coventry game |

Id say it ran out 2 kicks before when the referee failed to spot a blatant pull back on the jersey of Garcia MacNulty which he had an excellent view of , but the damage was really done when they failed to beat Latvia at home, It'll be hard to beat Italy over there and I think Norway will beat Turkey to take the play of spot but we'll see Tuesday |
