It's still not been confirmed officially but knowing how the club like to keep things on the playing side quiet so as not to alert the opposition I wouldn't be surprised. If he's supposed to be putting in an appearance on Thursday evening they may say something beforehand.

Going off this thread, anywhere between 4 weeks and 8 months.

How long is Wilson meant to be out for?

Minimum I've seen is 8 weeks and the maximum 5 months. So, to sum up, nobody has a clue.

Beat me to it!

Like the look of the signings over the last couple of days, especially Forrester and Massey. Hopefully 2 or 3 more before the weekend including a new number 1 and we are looking good.

DC is usually upfront about long term injuries so I would expect him to say in Thursdays pre match press conference. If he's asked the question of course. Which isn't a given with the journos employed by RS and the Sentinel

But John Smith's?

Really?

It's dreadful stuff 😊

I’d imagine DC will address it in his press conference. It’s sometimes hard to gauge with Willo how injured he really is. Even when he’s fully fit you usually see with some of his mannerisms he’s clutching some body part at various times before breaking out into a full sprint.

Any chance Carlo gets Hladky to come over?

Most of the players we have signed have come to play either as very promising young players who need game time to develop or experienced players who have played at higher levels than those we have. From this I conclude some discussion is needed with the players we already had to see who may want to move out on loan / transfer. We have many defenders - but I guess our system needs more than 442.

The defenders signed are likely good on the ball. Maybe they haven't got the experience of Nathan Smith in the tackling department and games played department. But I sense he needs to significantly improve on the ball to avoid coming under pressure. 

Not sure why you are in such a hurry to move some good players out? We 're allowed 5 subs, and some of our players are injury-prone or injury-unlucky? We have a small group of squad players who are young and inexperienced. The chance to give these game time is crucial to their development as well as provide cover for injuries and suspensions. also - in response to another poster...the jury's back in on Hussey - he's a decent player who will be a valuable squad member.

Presumably no John Smith's then 🤠

I would rather saw my foot off than drink beer at VP. The club is selling garbage. I guess most clubs do.

No.  Ambrosia with a hint of nectar.  Er, that’s as in the drink of the Gods with a hint of the sweet stuff, rather than the custard with a hint of the Aussie lager, which is what they sold in the past. 🙄
