Just on the news Chops

Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:22 am

could well be out for the rest of the season, if thats so I think we can kiss the prem good bye. We really dont have cover for him even with bellers in his place. If Bellers comes inside then we dont have his speed down the wings and a crosser of the ball. Thomas dont have the speed , whitts only puts the ball square or puts the ball back and dont really make runs. Looks like its starting to fall apart, lets pray its not as bad as theu think it maybe.

He's a superb player who offers so much more than goals. He defends from the front. I'm gutted he's even missing one game. :(

hopefully after a scan and with the international break he will be back sooner rather than later or not at all ? :ayatollah:

Looked pretty serious yesterday and wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play again this season - a massive blow for us if its true.

If you remember he was missing in the autumn for a while and we played a pretty successful 451 without him. The success of this though depends on Bothroyd performing at his best, and more importantly Burke firing on all cylinders.

Which relies upon Jones actually playing Burke from the start.

It's been falling apart for a while now, Chops injury will just be another excuse for failure. Personally Id be very surprised if we finish in play offs and lets be honest we all know full well we dont have the bottle for games like that.

Chops is one of five players Id like to retain for next season, the rest can leave with DJ.

Burke said after the game ,that he knows he is not playing as well as he did last season, So this may have something to do with DJ not going with him in the starting line. But I think Whitts is not really putting a full shit in. Never see him make runs, most of the time he will just pass the ball square, or plays it back , or will try to pump up long balls and gives the ball away.
We dont have quality in depth so when someone goes off the boil we cant replace them with more quality.

Ive said this all along, we may seem to have the best 11 on paper but as a squad we are very weak.
