Nicky Maynard

I was under the impression that he would be back for the final few games of the season which could have proved crucial,

But before the Watford game last Tuesday as he was getting out of his car me and some mates asked him if he would be back by the end of the season and if he was getting better and he said "I doubt it mate, but it's getting better slowley" but was on crutches. I was hoping for him to be back by the end of the season

Maynard has said many, many times that he's unlikely to step back into the first team before the end of the season.

He's ruling himself out in order to avoid disappointment, should he not be ready.

saw him down the vale yesterday ...no crutches was walking unaided .....leg looked to be in tubalar bandage type strapping

Will be able to play at a gamble in April imo. I think Malky may play him in one or two towards the end of the campaign even though he won't be 100%.

If we've guarenteed promotion before the end of the season, expect him to play the odd 15 minutes here or there if he's okay. Sharpen him up ready for the big boys league

personally , i dont think we will see him until the beginning of next season... but its difficult to tell with this type of injury as the timescale can vary per individual .

Ive always maintained he hopefully could be back by April 2013.

As long as we don't rush him back. We should wait until he's ready and I think that will be next summer.

He will come back and score the winning goal to get us promoted

You can't rush that sort of injury. The leg mussels then need to be fully strengthened to help protect the knee.

Cockles and mussels alive alive o, you know I love you Chief.

Better to say he won't be back for any game this season than getting expectations up.
