    Was that when he went down in pain during the match, but was ok to play on?

    Bad news BUT it has been debatable whether we need both Cullen and Bielik in the same side, especially against lesser opponents where we need to win. Do need him back for the playoffs though

    Since JFC injury, days before the Season started it one injury after another, or suspensions or loan players going back.
    We had zero chance of one of the seven players on international duty not getting injuries.

    I wasn’t impressed with a midfield of Cullen, Williams, Reeves and Aribo against Blackpool, albeit that is only 1 game. 

    I would quite like us to try Fosu and Marshall in a flat 442 although not a huge fan of the latter. JFCs return for the end of the season might be a big boost if we don’t see Bielik again. 
  • Gutting , he's been monster for us.

    Kristian Bielik plays for Poland's U23 despite being injured and missing the game for Cafc. Was it an England player or a fan who injured Bielik this time ?

    If we have him fit for at least some part of the play-off games I'd still back him to make an impact, his first 45min vs Portsmouth showed how much of a difference he can make in a game.

    In my opinion the midfield you have selected would be a disaster. Maybe play those two in the same side if we are playing 3 at the back.

    Bielik is class at this level and a shout for POTY, gutted.  But if he’s back in time for the play offs it’s no biggie because I think most will agree that we’re finishing between 3rd and 6th with or without him.

    Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. If he played between now and the playoffs I'd bet on him getting injured and missing out. Hopefully he'll be fit just in time to be involved.

    Maybe a chance for Lappo.

    We have had so many injuries this season yet (touch wood) still look really good for a play-off place. If we finish in the top 6 with all that has happened then surely Bow has to be manager of the year.

    Oh ffs this season has been a joke. He needs to be back for Playoffs.

    I would say 5th or 6th, as we will free wheel to the Play offs, to try to keep our injury hit squad fit.
    Beat Bradford then cotton wool and plenty of ice.  Parker, Igor and Fosu must chip in with goals to help the prolific Taylor, Aribo and Reeves !  Assists from Williams would help.

    What is the expected return date? If he misses a month, I agree, not a bigee given our position in the league. I'm not bothered if we play the first play off game at home or away in all honesty.

    We’ve got 3 or 4 really talented midfielders, but I rate him the highest.

    On a big Wembley pitch he’d run the game, such shit luck.

    Any Wembley final would be TWO months away, a bit soon to write him off yet!

    We have a monster midfield for league one, unfortunately we need all of them to be fit. Bielik will be a massive miss.

    Know what you're saying but if you are expecting the afore-mentioned players to suddenly go on a goal-scoring run I think you're going to be disappointed.

    Fingers crossed that the scan results aren’t too bad. He’s a key player imho.

    Reeves, Williams, Cullen and Aribo wouldnt work IMO and definitely didn't against Blackpool. I am not 100% convinced by the diamond because we don't have anyone to play just behind the front 2. Not been massively impressed with Williams, lacks end product. I would certainly be tempted to try a flat 442, we lack width on some many occasions. Was ok under Grant but the strikers we have now need crosses in the box IMO, not that Marshall can cross to be fair.

    Compare how we looked in the first 60 minutes vs Pompey (with Williams at the tip of the diamond)

    to how we looked the whole game against Bristol Rovers.

    Id agree Williams does need to add a few more goals/assists to his game, but I think a lot of what he does goes unnoticed. A 442 with perhaps two of the least consistent wingers in the league is also a massive recipe for disaster.

    Honestly think he's our best player, has to be fully fit for the play offs
