Joe Wright

[Jonathan]

Fractured rib. Out for 2-3 months. Another huge blow.

[Copps is Magic]

We need two central defenders in on short-term loans.

[GazLaz]

Shame, we’ve had a bad week on the injury front. That’s football, least the window is still open.

'Short-term' = 'to end of season', unless they are free agents or play in non league

Understatement of the decade - 3 class centre backs and a promising midfielder long-ish term injured within one week 

[DonnyOsmond]

Fergies said it'll be more than one in now.

Joe Wright has fractured his ribs so will be out for a couple of months, Ferguson says he now needs two centre halfs before the window closes on Wednesday evening and has already had a couple of moves for players rejected #DRFC    Off Jonathan Buchan Twitter

[Alan Southstand]

Don't panic, captain Mannering!

[andysly]

I’m sure DF will get one if not two in. The problem for me is these lads will not have been playing regular and will take a little time to settle especially if it is two new CBs starting together. None of Lawlor, Mason or Garrett as the rest of a back 5 have shown any sign of organising ability to help them out either.
It’ll be reet we’ll just have to score 3 a game.

Could anyone enlighten me has to how Joe Wright got his injury, sat in the east stand we couldn't see. Seems a strange place to get a football related injury.

A pity because one of our Players will doubtless walk into it cutting a Tendon or similar

Talk about bad luck !

I still fancy they did a number on us and targeted Wright knowing we had no real CB's if they got him off

[donyderek]

Yep was my line of thinking but didn't want to point a finger without a few facts. Anyone watching in the Rossington end get a good view.

[Dutch Uncle]

Am I right in thinking that now Andrew (at Wimbledon/Trotter apologised afterwards), Williams (at Wigan) and Khemis (at Shrewsbury) as well as Wright have now had long term injuries resulting from bad more or less unpunished tackles (not even a yellow in sight)?

[graingrover]

DF goes before the FA Tribunal on Tuesday and since his (measured IMO) outburst he has received a good bit of support in the media from pro's . Especially significant was Keith Hackett's endorsement to the claim that refereees at this level are not sufficiently fit physically . DF is charged with bringing the game into disrepute .. the charge is misdirected

Unfortunately the chinless tw*ts will have already pronounced him guilty already, must be seen to protect their own


Back to JW - gutted for him, thought he had done enough to keep a starting place before the injuries

Seemed to get a crack to the ribs. I think it was initially during/after a set piece so I'm not sure if he got booted (in which case probably unintentionally).

[roversdude]

Oh he got booted alright by the dirty bar steward wearing No. 9

[Jonathan]

Probably a revenge attack in that case after Wright took him out (cleanly I might add) by the South West corner early on.

[bobbymax]

Clattered by their number nine as he cleared a cross. Officials appeared to have blind spot where that particular player was concerned.

Correct. Need say no more. Is it any wonder managers blow a fuse. Can’t believe it took DF so long before he snapped. The standard of refereeing is appalling at league 1 and 2 level.

[roversdude]

Looked like a 1990’s rapper

[donyderek]

Thanks for the info guys clears that one up. Fingers crossed for two good replacements, Fergie appears to have his work cut out., at such  late notice. Onwards and upwards.
