He doesn’t have much luck with injuries.

It was a hard 51-49 tackle (he was first to the ball and dangerous by oppo player)

Has it been said it's broken by the club? He could be on crutches as a precaution so the foot is protected.

This is a shame. Him and Gibson on the left hand side are as good as anything in this division and better than most in the division above.

Kieran Tierney-lite by the looks of things. Class player but never far from an injury.

Won’t know if it is a broken foot without an X Ray

Sheer speculation. JM may have said it’s a suspected broken bone but he won’t know for sure.

Fingers crossed it isn’t. Much better than Senior offensively.
Defending I think they are on par.

Good grief man get a grip he was hit late, not the 1st one to have one left in on them in that 2nd half

There are 26 bones in each foot, lots of muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons so lots of potential for injuries of various types.

Good luck o the lad. I hope it’s not a bad, long term injury. The referee, by the way, didn’t even give a foul. They got away with some really bad challenges today.

Maybe he was the rugby league ref turned up early.?

No, IDM, just a typical low standard referee who was prepared to let Stanley dish it out.

How did he miss the tug on our goalie’s collar just before half time?

I’m surprised we didn’t pick up more injuries.  Hope Maxwell isn’t out for long..

I hope he’s ok.
Genuinely pissed me off reading this.

I think he’s our best player, what a blow losing him long term would be.

I would doubt we will hear anything for a few days, it will swell up making it difficult to X-ray
Title: Re: Maxwell
Post by: Silkscarf on August 11, 2024, 12:21:13 am
Bad news if he’s out for a while. He’s been magnificent for us ever since he joined. He gets better every game. Clever player and great going forward. He probably IS a forward really. Gareth Bale started at left back of course. It’s really good to see him mature with us.

Get well soon James.

Won’t stop an X-ray.  Either way it doesn’t look good at the moment..

When I broke my ankle it was swelled up, the only problem they had was getting my foot/ leg in the right position without it killing me, Spiral fracture of the fib was the diagnosis lol!

He didn’t miss it gave a free kick but chose to not give a card etc - one of quite a few

As I remember it he blew for the foul and then the Accy No.4 (I think) kicked the ball away.  I said to my mate two yellows coming here and he gave nothing more than the free kick. Didn't even speak to either of the culprits.

Am I imagining all the injuries that he’s picked up in the last 2 years then?

We definitely won the free kick.

Do you mean when Maxwell got his injury or the one on the keeper?
Title: Re: Maxwell

Bit of a difference picking up an injury ie a muscle strain to being hit late on a 60-40 ball

The one close to the halfway line in front of the west stand.

And that challenge went without being penalised, it's an absolute joke the standard of refereeing. This won't be the first time this season teams dish out the rough stuff on us.

I am beginning to wonder if it wasn't that challenge itself that caused the injury, bad as the challenge was. Grant said James put his foot down with no-one anywhere near him, and IIRC he went off quite a while after that challenge. Whether that challenge weakened the foot before the second incident is of course quite possible.

Don’t think that’s too bad depending on the seriousness of the fracture. Could have been worse.

Senior’s injury record isn’t much better. If he stays fit for the next 3 months I will be very surprised.

This weakens us in attack. We saw Maxwell swing some delicious crosses in last season. Joe and Billy may see their output dip slightly.

One thing Senior is better at is being aggressive and winning headers. Maxwell is by far the better player but teams will often aim long balls in his direction to their benefit.

Maxwell hobbled about and  sat down a couple of times after the "tackle" before play was stopped and medics came on

I think the foul on Maxwell was in the 72nd minute, he had treatment and played on, and was substituted in the 86th minute. Rovers made a triple substitution in the 75th minute which didn't include Maxwell. That is how I recall it, and that is what the BBC live text of the match says as well. Not saying the bad tackle/foul didn't contribute, but it looks like there must have been a later second incident with no-one near Maxwell as Grant suggests.

Maybe he should have come off in the 72nd minute. Hindsight and all that  :headbang:

Very very bad news this.
Big player for us.
However great opportunity for Jack Senior.
Having minimum of 2 players for each position is one of GM’s big wants, so another great (yet simple) piece of management.

I once tore my angle ligament both sides of my ankle was just training and put my foot down nobody near me at all it just went at 19 ,these things happen

Big opportunity for Senior this, he know knows he has a clear run for the next three months bar any injury to himself.

As a defender, as said he's more aggressive and proactive, should make us a better defending unit.

As an attacker, not so great going forward and his delivery needs improving, but he's here to progress and become a better player, with the momentum the team have he comes in at an good time for him. Cant see why playing in a confident side should not improve him and allow him to kick on, A run of consecutive games should do him the world of good.

Depends on where fracture is some are more easily "Repaired" than others. Tuberosity - Jones  fracture can be aided by screwing together.Jones.Stress and Shaft fractures possibly require a screwed on plate. either way i would think its 3 months minimum out.

Gutting this. Must be a bad break if he needs an op. I broke my metatarsal  (can't remember which one) but was back playing in 6 weeks.
