I am hoping no news is good news so far but the ankle looked nasty.

Not much seems to have been said about it.
Though with Godden suspended Tavares playing in the u23s yesterday may indicate that Vik is OK (or perhaps not!).

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I think no news is not reflective of good or bad and a soft tissue ankle injury could easily be a week or two out

True, could just be allowing as much time as possible before a decision.

Do we think walker starts up top with Vik (if fit) again?

 

[procdoc]

My guess is Waghorn and Walker will start, Vik on the bench

More than likely

 

[Hutch11]

Hope his knee is ok

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The Blackburn player should be retrospectively banned for as long as Gyo is unavailable. Only fair after all.

Walker and Waghorn as a pairing doesn't fill me with confidence however Tyler is a finisher and if we supply him chances, he will score. Waghorn i'm not really sure how much he brings to the team so far.

If Viktor is out we better not go Walker up front on his own. It will have to be Waghorn and Walker. Gyo is the only striker who can play up front on his own

Also Robins in his post match interview just said swollen like a balloon. But that's all he said he didnt give much away. And why would you? As Preston will looking very closely and be working on a game plan for Vik.

Gyo hasn't started up front on his own this season has he? When he did the lone striker role last season he wasn't very good, Preston at home as I remember. I don't think any of our strikers can effectively play that role, and I would only be happy playing that formation if we had 2 attack minded midfielders behind the lone striker (not Hamer or Allen). Perhaps O'Hare and Jones / Bright.

He played on his own against Blackpool and was absolutely fantastic with Allen and Ohare behind. He played with Biamou against Preston IIRC. He has all the attributes to play on his own up front. Also played on his own second half away at Huddersfield last season and was very good then as well (after we were poor first half with 2 up front)

He was a great partner for viktor getting all those goals.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

FotMob have him as injured till mid November. Interesting

 

[CDK]

Walker is a great finisher along side Waghorn as I can't see gyok playing as out injured.

It’s an estimate. They don’t really know

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I’m sure that’s right

Believer says he’s fine

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Smellygraph suggesting Walker and Waghorn start tomorrow, with Tavares potentially on the bench, doesn't really mention whether Vik will be available. My only concern is whether they actually know whether there is an issue yet, after all its difficult to diagnose when it's so swollen. However, it looks as though he didn't leave the ground with a protective boot on it, so that may be promising.

They should ask shouldn’t they

 

[SkyblueDad]

Looking at that picture again it does seem a nasty bruise but I’d have thought if it was joint or ligament injury he would have had one of those boot things on as a precaution. Wether it clears up in time for tonight though not sure, but should it not we have good options within the squad.

Dont think he has a chance of taking part tonight looking at the pictiures of his ankle - They would not want to risk further damage and secondly having experienced ankle injuries through football a normal twist is 3 to 4 weeks recovery. They havent released the extent as yet could be worse - They also havent said if he s playing or not? which is probably not showing robins hand with his attack line up

I've heard it's not as bad as first feared
Not sure if he will be risked tonight though

This is what i have heard as well. Unlikely we will see him tonight but it's not the 3 to 4 weeks or longer some people have bandied about

 

[fatso]

I'd play him anyway, he's twice the player walker is, even with 1 leg!

 

[Houchens Head]

Might be a really silly question, but just how the heck is his surname pronounced? I must have heard at least three different ways during various commentaries.

Thanks lads. So, basically, the 'G' is silent?

With no legs

Not a bad striker if given the ball in the right area .
