We should send a video of the challenge to the FA showing what a great game Styles had, challenge not even worthy of a booking yet he was hacked from behind.
The Loss of Todorov is a Massive blow & could seriously affect our chances this season.
Ahh, that's a nightmare. Although he has limitations, he definitely adds something special to the team. Especially coming off the bench. Was a big factor in the comeback against Wednesday and of course, that goal at Palace.
Our strikeforce looks decidely weak now. Big Chis, Varney & McLeod; that's it!! We probably need to recall both Dickson & Walker from their respective loans, although neither can ever replace Toddy's experience. That is really SH*T news & puts a big dent in our promotion prospects.
I hate to say this but he won't play for us again as only on a year long contract and, even worse for him, at his age and with his history of injuries it could be a career ending one. Hope the Plymouth defender is happy with himself. A crude challenge that even Holloway said was bad.
It'll be sad to see his career over so early, he showed at the start of the season he's still got a great touch and smart feet, would liked to have seen him play a role in getting us up this season but looks like it isnt to be.
[cite]Posted By: Barn Door Lisbie[/cite]It's a loss. He's a decent player who brought something different to the party but lets keep it in perspective.
He was never going to be a regular starter for us and losing him doesn't have the same impact as losing say a Darren Bent or a Scott Parker.
If our promotion hopes were resting on the shoulders of Todorov (as some seem to be suggesting) then we were already in trouble.
Agreed. I wasn't sure about him when he signed. He proved me wrong and brought a bit of sparkle, but the squad must be able to overcome this - these things happen in football all the time. Best wishes to him for a full recovery.
I think we may well see ZZ pushed further forward now with Racon coming into midfield or maybe Thomas brought back in on the left with Reid tucking into the middle of the park.
From what I have heard Marcus Bent is not impressing the punters or chairman at Wigan so I would not rule out an early re-call of the shagmeister by any means.

Different to what we have, and gave good balance to the squad. Will be missed.

JFH and Fowler banging them in as well...
Congratulations to Mr Styles for clamping down on the worst challenge of the match.....
One of our few players with genuine quality - gone.
No!
It's a shame for Toddy but I think that could be the end of him as a footballer altogether. The 3 ACL's he's done now.
Admittedly I was not his biggest fan but I hate to see a player in that situation - get well soon Toddy!
he may have done the same one twice though of course.. doh..
a) That might be us fooked
b) Might be the end of Toddy
Absolutely gutted.

I'd like us to recall Marcus Bent as he is far better than some of the alternatives, but we do not have the option.
I don't think Varney and McLeod are good enough, hope they prove me wrong,.
We've still got 4 strikers, Varney will do it in this division, McLeod has the potential and Dickson is a wild card.
Yeah, f*cking w*nker!!
