Rickie Lambert fitness update


Neil Warnock: "It was a ‘horrific’ injury that Rickie Lambert picked up against Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago."

The talisman missed the Wigan Athletic defeat. And here is the latest from Warnock, who won’t gamble on his frontman’s fitness.

"He is running, but we’ve got problems elsewhere with the striking situation. Perhaps he can make the bench, I don’t know. He’ll definitely be ok for Huddersfield, it’s whether this is too soon. We won’t take a risk. He did some training on his own, non contact."

Shame cos we really looked clueless without him. Id even take a punt oh Chamakh or lower rather than Pilks.

We'd have put 3 past Wigan with Lambert. Not that he will score many but his hold up and distribution is key

It's almost as if he's not even considering chamak yet. How long has he been here, a month? He must be extremely unfit.

He needs to perform massively to make a permanent contract in January. Hopefully Richardson will get some game time and see if he's worth keeping in January

At least Chamakh knows were the goal is, even if hes not match fit yet which to be honest I find quite strange,he must be a better option then pilkington
