Deuce

Feel for the guy because he could easily have scored 15 goals this season which would have been a phenomenal return for most wide players never mind Miggy who gets criticised for poor finishing.

A real pity. But thankfully it looks like we've got several others coming on stream now, so they're perfectly timed at least, alongside the international break.

This is a real guttner. Hopefully Murphy can continue his form 

And hopefully Gordon shouldn't be far away. This international  break may help us a bit. Just hoping everyone comes back fit.

Fuck only just seen this. That is absolutely dismal news; gutted for Miggy that he's not getting a full season to reach a really remarkable goals tally. We do have cover but he's definitely going to be missed; he's our top goalscorer and was bailing his teammates out as recently as last weekend.

That's a real shitter tbh. We had Matt Ritchie on tonight again ffs.

 

Lost in the delirium of the late winner was how truly useless Ritchie was when he came on, guy offers absolutely nothing.

Was looking for news about his aborted international callup, hoping that it was just a ploy to get him to stay home instead of travelling. Thought it was to keep him ready for Man Utd at home. Ffs six weeks, is he even going to comback this season? What's our next game in 6 weeks?

Everton away on April 27th then Southampton home on April 30th are right about six weeks from now.

 

Those seem like the earliest we could see him. Five games before that Everton fixture.

 

If he misses both of those then there'll only be five games left when he gets back. Also he'll presumably need time to get sharp again after a lay off.

 

Hopefully he'll be a good option off the bench in the run in and one of the others will have stepped up at RW.

Injuries will always happen and it's no different for any club.

Miggy has been pretty resilient with injuries when you consider his pace and overall never say die work rate.

I'd call this more of a much needed rest and replenishment rather than any negative, only because we have more than adequate cover for him.

Considering how high intense we are as a unit and the high press in most games, I'd say we do pretty well on the injury front and that has to be down to how me manage it under Howe as opposed to how we did manage it under other regimes.
