Fortune has reptured his achillies. Done for the season.

I really hope Wayne Brown is on the sleeper from Hull and ready to sign tomorrow.

We won't get away with Holland till the end of the season.

Big test for the board. Show us how much you want to get out of it. Make the money available to get a CB in.

    SPOT ON CLEM.
  • Gutted for Forts big time

    WE NEED A NEW CENTRE HALF MUZZA AND WE NEED IT NOW

    We've said it time and time again but how can we have started the season with just two centre backs? We now have a squad which includes one CB, three forwards and 14 midfielders. Not exactly balanced is it?

    Really we need two. One to play and one for cover. Maybe Holland or Youga can fill in but not ideal.

    Parky, tonight, said tomorrow was a big day and a few transfers were close.
  • Fortune out for the season and isn't Hudson also carrying a knock, he was doubtful before tonight. Semedo out for a while as well. Holland can cover but as Henry said, certainly not ideal.
    Brown has to sign or we're in the sh*t. Failing that we're down to Mambo no.5

    We have to face facts. We need 3 ins. Forward and x 2 CBs. That ain't gonna happen unless we see some movement out.

    Worrying few days and as already stated the next couple of days will be a huge test for the board.

    Don't like PPs comments on the O/S - almost sounds like he is begging the board for money.
  • No sign of Ambrose tonight. Was he injured or are we hoping to sell him?

    He is one of our 14 midfielders. Unfortunately we can't accomodate them all in the squad.

    Thanks to Twatwell Youga, who could cover centre half at a pinch, has now got 5 bookings.

    I'm absolutely gutted for Fortune.

  • Youga could cover well. What a pointless/stupid call from the ref to book him. especially when he blew the whistle after youga had released the ball.....Tosser

    Yeah, the referee wasted more time stopping the game to book Youga, than Youga had.

    Risk we took only having two centre backs in the squad.

    Hopefully Brown will come in. or maybe Purse, I see Norwich are after him.

    Aswad Thomas and Mambo will be our saviours.

    Seriously though Parkinson said a deal is close, hopefully that is Brown or another CB. If not I'm sure he'll be trying even harder than he already has been to get one or two CBs in.

    Surely with a half fit Hudson and Matty Holland as our surviving CB pairing, that's more than adequate?

    Now that we've got even more midfielders than Tottenham, perhaps we could tie down just one more CM to be sure?
  • Terrible news, but better now than February, both in terms of the window and hopefully him making a full recovery over the summer.

    Thats bad news Forts has been playing well of late. Primus back anyone?
  • er.....

    the whole winning back 4 could be out couldn't they?

    Fortune - ruptured achilles
    Youga - 5 bookings misses next game
    Hudson & Murty - played through pain and injury to finish match (and coudl have been making their injuries worse)

    next game is in 3 days now.....

    who will be playing at the back?
