Brady injury.

, I think SD will bring Arfield back in.

I think you might be right.

This looks nasty:
Robbie's Recovery and Prognosis
Recovering from a torn patellar tendon is difficult and takes time. One of the most important prognostic factors for recovery is the time to surgery, and surgery delayed beyond a few weeks can limit recovery ability. It is known that early mobility after surgery, protected strengthening, and preventing excessive stress on the repair will speed overall recovery. Even with these steps, there is a minimum of 3 months until return of normal daily activities, and 4-6 months until sports should be resumed.
While most people heal completely from a patellar tendon surgery, there can be long-term weakness even with a successful repair. Athletes who are attempting to return to competitive sports may take a year or longer to return to their pre-injury level of function. Performing guided physical therapy can be helpful to ensure athletes are able to resume their normal sports activities.

All I can do is wish Robbie all the best and I hope that the surgery goes well and that, eventually, he is able to regain his fitness and confidence and come back to perform as well as he has done this season.
Good luck Robbie.

I suppose it could be a faster return than an ACL, if all goes well but it could also be career ending if it doesn’t. I wonder if Tom is in a similar potential career ending situation given the lack of any progress reports. Hope not!

It looks like we are going to have to get a substantially capable winger recruit added to the squad in the window as a matter of urgency?

I wonder if Wells or Taylor will get the nod before Arfield? Can't see it but Scotty needs pastures new IMHO.

After watching a really potent threat in Robbie Brady, Arfield for me is very much yesterday's man. He has been brilliant for us but Do One Airlines awaits I'm sorry to say.

Id go along with that DD, but will Dyche and the board ?

If we had bought him an airline ticket for a January flight, I would think it's been torn up and binned. We only have two wingers now, and the other one is a bit fragile. We need Scotty.

What we really need is for our highly salaried Recruitment Team to get off their arses and find us TWO wide men who can fit supremely well into the EPL, cost us next to now't and only want £40k a week max.
