    I have had a reacquiring hamstring issues over the years and yes it takes time and can be painful.....however all you are reading here is simple frustrations with players, nothing else.......and experience from this club tells us this is not the first time that our lead buy in as has proven to be missing.....I hope he improves of course but he may be very well ready for next season as I think he will be of little use by the time he does come back and by the time he becomes match fit....possibly all that just in time for preseason 2022/23....

    I totally agree Dubs. Same with O’Shea who will need a pre-season to get completely back to where he was.

    Needs a full pre-season and he will be decent next season for sure! Even Harry Kane would be s hit from the passes and lack of balls from Mowatt and Livermore and the pathetic crosses from Furlong!

    Dike now probably ruled out for the remainder of the Season, what a great buy! Is there a table football league for crocked players? If so, we would have a front two of Dike and Zohore, a goalfest there, then!

    Looks like he will be out for rest of this season but whilst unfortunate this secondary injury is surely genuine. The frustration is understandable though given the situation. Just hope that Bruce can get them playing as they did against Fulham for the rest of this season to at least give us some hope for next.

    As for Dike, what little we have seen of him might suggest that he could be a useful addition for us next season. I know that a lot of our problems with lack of goals stems from lack of creativity in midfield but don't have much faith in the Grant/Robinson combination up front -especially Robinson- and Dike should offer a more physical presence. At least he has chosen to remain here (as he should!) rather than return to the States to recuperate. Rumours also of Val wanting him but can't see it and tbh I think the club would be daft to consider it.

    It will be great to start next season with a fit, new CF. I'd like to see him and Grant playing together.
