According to Rich Cawley of the SLP. Out for three months. A massive blow to us. He is a class player and will be sorely missed. It puts us in a difficult position as we now only have three fit CB’s at the club……..Hutch Cooper and Murray. If one of them picked up an injury, lost form or picked up five yellows then we are deep in the brown stuff. I am sure the club has known about this for a few days as there have been rumours floating about that he was crocked. The big question is what do we do about it.
The most obvious is to either recall Mitchell from his loan at Orient or Muller from his loan at St Johnstone. We can do neither at the moment as I am sure the recall clause does not kick in until January 1st. Leonard could be an option except he is crocked with a dodgy ankle and there is no news on when his scan will show the damage.
None of this looks good from our point of view and I await news on the OS about what their plans are.At this point they are not even reporting Ballard’s surgery!
