Bit harsh considering he will have spent all that time working hard to get back to fitness. Not like he's been sat on a beach somewhere, or in front of the tele.

Yeah but in terms of output for the “business” we’ve had nothing. Not saying it’s his fault, but a player who takes 18 months of medical expenses then fucks off always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth personally.

Reckon he leaves in the summer. Almost having your big move then seeing the other two get theirs I bet he’s desperate to go if a Prem team/parachute club. will have him.
Why would they want him?

He was a good player pre injury but still had some pretty glaring weaknesses. After a year out injured he would have to put in a spectacular 6 months of football to get a prem move.

I'm assuming the clubs insured against these types of events though? Might be way off the mark.

Sounds like Sheaf then
Asked about Sheaf, Robins told CoventryLive: “Ben’s had a bit of a setback early on in the week. It was something different but, again, he’s getting closer again. He’s been out for five weeks now and just had a little bit of a setback but I am hopeful that he’s not too far away, if I am totally honest.” :unsure:

Can only be O'Hare then surely?
Suspect the fact setback is in inverted commas means it was something which has also been overcome. Think Andy Turner quoted the article as 'Robins keeps people guessing'. Basically sounds like Sheaf is fit to me!

He has to start for me. For Ayari, and move Allen further forward.

I would usually agree. It's just the intel that only 1 of the injured have travelled, that's throwing me. Surely COH is ready for a place on the bench, even if he only gets 5 mins at the end.

My understanding was at this level insurance is too expensive to be worth it but could be wrong. I dunno, I just feel if a club has got you back to fitness after a serious injury you at least owe them a fee when you go.

Maybe, a Luton or a Burnley might still be interested, or a Leicester/Ipswich type who look like going up. Everyone said the same about Gus and Vik and they got their moves. If it weren’t for injury O’Hare would be in the Prem today.

I’m not saying it definitely happens, but if he comes back, holds off on a contract until new year, he’ll no doubt have agents in his ear promising him the earth.

Take a draw!

Although had a dream that we beat mboro away 2 nil with 2 goals that deflected off godden from Kelly shots.

They play in red and so do Bristol..

Bit of a warning for anyone going - looks like most trains into Bristol are cancelled today due to flooding.
