Did Tommy Smith have a

Set back in training? A few weeks ago he was only a week or two away from being fit. Now they are saying they won't risk him until the FA Cup game on January 5th. I haven't read about any setback and he was on schedule for the original 6 week lay-off period. Wonder what happened!! Really looking forward to having him back in the squad.

I've forgotten how long he's been out for!

Don't think so.

Always remember - add about six weeks onto the timescale given when the injury happens and you'll be about right.

So if they say he'll be out for about six weeks it'll probably be double that!

Should be back in 7-10 days.

He's class but with us winning most weeks there is no need to hurry him back, better safe thn sorry, nurse him back in slowly, he will be like a new signing and when Mutch is fully fit so will he be

I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago said he was going to be available for the Birmingham game ....
