broke it 'training at home' according to Hughton on a Caulkin tweet.  Dropped a dumbbell on it or something?

.com claimed that it was a surfing accident that broke his hand

Surfing at home?? Wii injury?

Williamson Set For Early Return

By Craig Hope

 

MIKE Williamson could be set to ease Chris Hughton's defensive worries by making an early return from injury.

 

The centre-back had been ruled out for up to four weeks having broken a bone in his hand during an accident at home earlier this month.

 

But Williamson could now figure as early as Tuesday's game at Doncaster Rovers thanks to the use of a protective cast.

 

And boss Hughton, who saw Fitz Hall pick up a hamstring injury during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Bristol City, explained: "Mike is very close.

 

"We were hoping to have him for Saturday's game at Bristol City for the bench.

 

"He wasn't quite ready for that but we're hoping to have him available for Doncaster.

 

"He was been given clearance to play with a cast but we'll have to see how it feels ahead of Tuesday, although he is very close.

By the looks of it, he's been pretty good for you. Premiership standard?

 

He's no worse than some of the defenders currently playing Premier League football evey week. He's not superb but he'll do for the time being. Sort of a tall Andy O'Brien. He'll do ok.  

 

He's more or less the same height as O'brien, but he certainly seems to control a football better (ie once in a while).

O'Brien could trap a ball with his face better though.

Mike Williamson for England.

It's funny that they didn't think of this in the first place.

Not really - it depends on the amount of swelling and how well the blood is circulating around the bone.

 

They gave a worst case scenario and the prognosis improved. I imagine once they were able to determine the extent of the injury.

 

Better than saying back next week for 10 weeks a la Dyer, Owen, Barton, Moore, etc...

[Fenham Mag]

Outstanding last night. Really think the defence we have is premier league quality. Could be in the England squad if he keeps his form up in the Premier league.

 

Also, had a dream him and his family moved in opposite me , i couldn't describe how happy i was.

[JH]

Outstanding again last night. Hasn't put a foot wrong since he got here

[Guest Heneage]

Bargain bit of business when you consider it.

Williamson moving to Fenham...love it

 

[Newcastle Fan]

Therer was this one moment when he lost balance yet still managed to take the ball of Forest's player somehow, was outstanding yesterday.

Just imagine bumping into him at Wingrove chippy.

 

"who's a naughty boy Mike...what happened to the professional sportsman's diet eh?"

[Keefaz]

He'll be moving to Tynemouth to get more surfing in.

[Taylor Swift]

[Guest Stephen927]

Looks to be better than Steven Taylor.

[Ronaldo]

He's slow and doesn't deal well with crosses below head height but apart from that he's been absolutely solid as a rock. Him and Coloccini are quality together.

[KaKa]

I'll be quite upset if Taylor is put in ahead of him next season, because he is definitely a better centre back.

 

Sees things very early and is always in good positions. Is very calm and good on the ball. Is an absolute colossus dealing with aerial balls.

 

Really hope Taylor is moved to right back, where he really looked a much better player anyway.

[TRon]

I think that's the key. While Coloccini and Taylor did ok this season, last season they didn't look at all comfortable together compared to when Colo partnered Bassong.

 

 

[Ronaldo]

Aye, but that was mostly because Bassong is a good defender and Taylor isn't.

[TRon]

Aye, but that was mostly because Bassong is a good defender and Taylor isn't.

 

Harsh but fair.
