Wasn’t there on Saturday but I think he’s been excellent this season personally, and is consistently being undermarked and under appreciated from the fans
I like Page a lot, he's much better defensively than Da Silva and is the kind of player that will really get stuck in for the cause, has a bit of nastiness about him too which we need in this league. I do believe his crossing is extremely poor for a modern day left back though.
I think he has put some excellent crosses in for this season, hence why he has a few assists.
His crossing was awful on Saturday but to be fair has been decent in most other games this season
Yeah with him I think it's more about consistency. He definitely has the ability to put a very good ball in, but sometimes his accuracy isn't great. Again, what you expect from a young League One fullback.
We always seem to end up with unbalanced squads, and not all of that can be blamed on Roland. Partially it's down to recruitment, and partially down to having injuries in the wrong places.
Last season we had too many CBs, and as a result Sarr and Lennon hardly played, while KR spent all summer trying to get Reeves in and the laughable pursuit of Grigg, so we were left light up front with the panic signing of Dodoo instead.
This season we don't seem to have enough defenders or defensive players, but have ample resources up front and in attacking midfield. Igor, Ajose and Reeves on the bench, Marshall not even in the squad, with Ward due back soon and Clarke a month away, and that doesn't include any youngsters like Lapslie or Morgan.
You want to blame bowyer mate, I said last week you don't play an injured player. All this b@llocks about we don't have any one else. Page will probably be out for longer, oh and even if bowyer don't like he will now have to play someone else.

So who exactly would you have played then? The (also injured) youth team player? Solly on his wrong foot (which last night proved is... Not great)? Marshall the right footed winger out of position? Pray, give us your wisdom.

Nobody knows the full story and whether playing has hastened his injury - I hope the club have managed it properly.
Will be the same as last year. We will be playing injured players and they will top up being injured for longer. Mr Bowyer I do understand the situation We might of only had to play dijsteel against scunny and cov and we might of lost them two games. But we might now be without page for what 6 games. If we have an injured player do not play him Play an u18 player if so be.
Bowyers done well so far.... But the decision to keep playing Page has backfired. Hearing six weeks out.
A back four of Solly, Pearce, Sarr, Dijksteel with minimal cover won't cut it. Bielik, Bauer and Page all missing shows up our squad fragility, it's only 1 or 2 players short of a proper squad, but the one position we have no cover in is the very same position our most injury prone player operates

P45 coming
But I'd go three at the back if Pole is fit. MM in that set up also.
Small squad, no cover, play when obviously injured, make injury worse, out for longer, play kid not ready instead, wonder why we are shit each season.
The teams not shit though and it wasn't last season.

There was an interview with him where he talked about his injuries. He was overtraining, this time he’s been overplaying.
