daniel Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Looks like a potential lengthy knee injury. He posted on Instagram his diagnosis and whilst i’m no medical expert, terms such as “tears” and “potential surgery” make it sound like it could be a long one.

TheBigDog Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Confirmed (sort of) in The Oldham Times article online today. Dickenson and Hobson out for two/three weeks more, Reid “a wee bit longer” https://www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/sport/23938342.oldham-athletic-team-news-ahead-televised-trip-barnet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hope he gets well soon, and I also hope it means more minutes for Kurt. I thought he looked lively the other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that but he’s put something more on today, basically his scan results. It might well be his thigh and not his knee, but it sounds more serious than maybe he originally thought.

rudemedic Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 A translation of the radiologists report: Torn quad, (muscle also contributes to hip flexion too), towards the knee, but too much towards the knee to be a candidate for surgery but may benefit from injections. Unfortunately that likely means that his time out is measured in months not weeks. May well take him a few games to get up to "match fitness" too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the kneebone is connected to the thigh bone... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Bit of a blow because I thought he was just getting into form following that goal against Eastleigh. Opens the door for Willoughby to stake a claim but I suspect the Fondop / Norwood partnership will now start to develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 This is where our large squad with similar quality throughout should pay dividends. Other teams will lose key players and not have the depth we have (Saturday showed this) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's half a season to go but Kevin Maher must be a contender for Manager of the Year on the back of what he's achieved with that tiny squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Southend need their takeover to go through so they can reinforce the squad otherwise they will inevitably burn out in the second hslf of this season. If it goes through then they have a very strong chance of the play offs. Edited November 22, 2023 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I've always been of the opinion that Nuttall was a better footballer than Fondop. But what last night showed is how good managers can get the most out of different types of players. Nuttall might be more of a consistent 6/7 type of player who will do the running and stick to positions. Which might be why he was more favoured by DU. Fondop is a bit of an enigma - in the past he's seemed equally capable of fogging up camera lenses with overhead kicks as he is getting daft sendings off. What MM seems to be getting out of him now though is the randomness at the right time, the aggression at the right time and more importantly in a controlled way. Last night was by far the best I've seen Fondop play. Like I say, that's what good managers do - make individuals better for the benefit of the team.

Bobledgersheart Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Fondop's looking a lot better player now he's controlled his aggression and will prove to be a good partner for Norwood ( or whoever ) if he keeps it up. Though what was going through his head when he "goose-stepped" down the left wing in the second half is anybody's guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
