Ballard has Knee Surgery

May as well send back Ballard, by the time he is match fit the season will be over, and we should have a replacement in, hopefully, GR has a send back in Jan clause in his loan contract, or we could be stuck with his wage for the season.
 
If all goes well with his surgery, then potentially Ballard can resume playing for us at the beginning of March!

That would give him (the club and us) 11 games in a full two month period, before the season ends!

If he picks up his performance from where he left it, he will be a vital player if the team have any aspirations to finish the season in the play offs!
