Any news on his Injury. It looked pretty nasty.

GaryJones · Mar 12, 2016

Nothing to report until he has a scan on Monday but I doubt he will be available any time soon!

sw88 · Mar 12, 2016

He's tweeted to say he's having a scan Monday but hopes his season isn't over

Partly hoping the leg brace was precautionary but looked like he felt it immediately and I would guess that's his season over

Stil player of the season for me though!

Cranfield Sky Blue · Mar 12, 2016

It looked horrible when he went down. I normally follow the ball but 26 pints meant I was a little slow... I hope we see him this season but...

PUSB

Gazolba · Mar 12, 2016

He's been a stalwart this season and will me missed if he's not in the squad.

26 pints???? Anything like the city fans I've seen today they struggle for a . Beer

I’m sure Cranfield wouldn’t consume to excess like that. He obviously missed out a decimal point, and actually had three very modest 500ml glasses, which equates to 2.6 pints.

Can we recall Ryan Haynes? If anything costs us promotion this season then it's injury's to key defenders

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Mar 13, 2016

Mowbray has said they'll look into recalling him should Stokes be out for a long period of time.

I have no idea how bad it is, but Stokes is a warrior, so he'll fight to be back sooner than we think hopefully.

Yes, we can.

TM said so yesterday.

I would be more inclined to play Stephens at left back and move Ricketts to the centre. That will then allow Lorentzson to come in.

Stephens has played left back before.

We have options, Ricketts at left back, Stephens as said but Mowbray will have to re-call Haynes imo, bloody shame about Stokes who I fear has picked up a bad one, probably down to a disgraceful pitch looked to me his foot got stock in a glue pot of mud and sand. Brings back memories of young star Graham Oakey having his career finished on a similar pitch at Villa Park

JimmyHillsbeard · Mar 13, 2016

Or Stephens to left back. Ricketts stays at right back. Ramage returns to centre half.

no not Ramage - completly useless

rupert_bear · Mar 13, 2016

For certain games I would consider 3 at back plus wing backs, we have to be real solid now at the back it's going to be a battle here on in

Peter, get off our forum. Your not getting back into the team

Dimi_Konstantflapalot · Mar 13, 2016

I think move Ricketts to left back and bring in Lorentzson on the right. Haynes as cover - 10 games left which are going to be a real scrap to the death and I don't think he has the defensive attributes we need at the moment.

CJ_covblaze · Mar 13, 2016

Would rather play with 10 men than have Ramage in the side.

johnwillomagic · Mar 13, 2016

Hmm Tricky one I think would probably recall Haynes but if he is getting starts at Cambridge would be harsh as can only see him as bench option.

I think Stevens will move to left back probably and Ricketts will slot alongside Martin with Lorentzon recalled at right back.
If we do this and Haynes getting game time would leave him there. Hunt could be on bench and has played left back as well
if needed may be a better position for him now?

torchomatic · Mar 13, 2016

I would rather have ricketts there and leave Haynes at Cambridge.

Stokes has been great despite being written off as a crap signing by most. Just as most wanted to sack off Martin this time last season. Which suggests most fans know Jack shit about judging players ability and potential.

We are all allowed opinions of course.

But yes never really understood the slack Martin got on here. He has been steady and good for us. Him and Stephens could be our best hope in defence for the rest of the year.

Otis · Mar 14, 2016

Martin was poor last season, but has been excellent this.

I was all for getting rid of him last season, because to my mind he was offering nothing and was really error prone. This year he has looked a lot more solid.

Can only put it down to a new manager/player relationship. He has been transformed this campaign.

Long may it last.

rupert_bear · Mar 14, 2016

The whole team was basically poor last season, three of them Fleck, Stokes and Martin have been our best this season.

Otis · Mar 14, 2016

Would disagree on Fleck, but the other two, most definitely!

Until a month or so ago Fleck was easily our POTS.

Oh no, not at all. Not in my opinion.

Fleck has been very, very inconsistent. Only two I think can be considered and that is Vincelot and Stokes, with Stokes the clear favourite.

I was just pointing out that Mowbray may see another option.

And anyway....

Fortune? Martin? Adebola?

Stokes is the stuff movies are made of.
Discovered in the lower leagues. Aided Coventry to promotion from league 1.
Went on to international duties.

He will of course have to come on in the 89th minute of the play off final and score. Or this is going straight to beta max

Big big loss

Nick · Mar 14, 2016

I missed what happened, was it down to the pitch? That area he was in was like a muck heap.

I would have said fleck too...aided by Vincelot. I think stokes has been consistently good and was a revelation when moved onto the middle of the back 4. Certainly in tha last month or two both fleck and Vincelot have seen a bigger dip in form than most.

covcity4life · Mar 14, 2016

no news on injury lay off then?

Otis · Mar 14, 2016

Takes a while to get the results back I think. Would guess it will be scan today and we will know tomorrow or Wednesday.

rupert_bear · Mar 14, 2016

Thought it was his knee but heard today it's his ankle ?
