Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)


Recommended Posts

"It's the other hamstring, so we think that it will be another hamstring problem,"

 

"It's too early (to say if he's out for the season). It could be, but it's too early."

 

All over I bet.

6 weeks minimum normally, innit?

 

Does he have a history of injuries/hammy issues?

The problem with Murphy is you can see what he's going to try 5 seconds before it happens. He's just the definition of Championship predictable. Without Gayle we've got a rubbish attack and we all know it.

He reminds me so much of Bellamy. Unbelivable speed but once he starts sprinting, it makes you wince thinking he might pull up. It was the same for me when Bellamy would chase down the ball.

History of hamstring problems. I think that is why he spent a lot of time as an impact sub at CP which is how I think he may spend next season. This grueling season in the championship has taken it's toll and I fancy the season is over for him, Bloody shame because the guy is like lightening and is a natural.

We've released a statement about his injury which doesn't really tell us anything

 

Newcastle United can confirm that Dwight Gayle sustained a hamstring strain in his right leg during United's 2-1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

 

Dwight is currently undergoing tests to determine the severity of his injury so it is not yet known how long the player may be out injured.

Hopefully he'll be back for the playoffs

Lets just play Mitro for the rest of the season and work on getting Gayle fit and in tip top shape for next seasons promotion push.

I'd rather play two up from now on must go into every game to win from the off

Without knowing the exact figures we've picked up noticeably fewer points since his injury in January.

 

We've drawn 6 games this season, 5 of which happened after his injury which imo pinpoints where his contribution is felt most: grabbing goals against the run of play in tight games.

I'd rather we played Shelvey up front than Mitro. Keep him on the bench and let Murphy cover for Gayle.

 

Thought Mitro was noticeably more effective in his short cameo than Murphy was last time out to be fair. Both aren't exactly ideal options though.

He was a huge part of what we did so well early season. We've not been anywhere near as good since he first got injured. This hamstring injury has really effected him, could easily have topped 30 goals had he been able to stay fit.

Not sure how his injury record was at other clubs, but next season we need the number 1 striker to perform at more consistent level for the full course of the season or at least have a back up that is more similar and reliable than Mitro has been.

In the past 8 weeks alone he's had more comebacks than Audley Harrison. He's our best player but we shouldn't use him unless he's 100% confident in his hamstrings.

 

It's a pisstake because had he not sustained that injury at Brentford we'd be promoted and on the verge of securing the title by now.
