The thing with ACL injuries & the like is that though it was an in game injury he already would of had some underline issue there for it to of gone. That doesn't mean it was missed or even shown up at his medical, it can be down to how is body actually functions. Meaning something somewhere else would be making his movement patterns less than effective. If there's an issue the body will compensate, so as an eg if your ankles/arches have collapsed you walk toes turned out. Which has an effect upstream in the body, sure you can get round but it's going to give you issues all over the low body. This is why Arsenal have had Kelly Starrett recently at their club actually coaching their coaches/players on mobility/movement. How to move just day to, like walking/sitting. Here's a link to Starrett talking about someone with a double ACL injury http://www.allthingsgym.com/rehab-programming-with-kelly-starrett/

My other half taught Jack at high school. Said he was a really nice kid & didn't let the fact he played for villa go to his head. Really hope he's given a chance in the coming season

Dont agree with the pertov rating, he kept us ticking ovr & is playing well in the deeper role. For me Bardsley is shocking, terrible player id rather see gardner played there & young comin in. Few times gardner could of broken down the right but his lack of skill/pace was evident but think hes a good all rd player.

I dont think any of those players in the Mirror are obscure. They are all signable if you ask me. Still be nice to have them. One things for sure hes after a rightback, thats the fouth we have been linked with.

Barry going left back & mote wide left, cracking left hand side. Or even morte on the left of the forward three with gabby on the right, angel-sutton-baros for teh centre role. Barry playing inside left, ouch!!!!!! Ah what a dream

Neil Eardley from oldham who is only and and his fromt he mirror. Mirror: HEARD on the grapevine that Darren Bent, Nigel Reo-Coker, Luis Boa Morte and Lucas Neill are going to Aston Villa this January.

The way i saw the game last night is that pearce saw Bouma as our weak link, Every time they had three players on our left hand side, all going past him almost everytime. Taylor comin in never worries me but keepers need games to become confident & the one thing i think Taylor lacks is the ability to command the area, shout for balls ect. But they saw Bouma as our weak link, Ill say it once & ill say it again hes not a leftback, hes a centre half. He played there for Feynoord & he played on the left of three centre halfs for Holland. I know you keep the same team if things are going well but putting Mellberg at right back again when Hughes is fit was a mistake in my eyes. Olof is our best centre half by a mile & yet is still being played there, its starting to annoy me. In the 1st half we were second to every ball & never picking up any second balls & the passing wowful. Even a goal kick by Taylor was summing up the game. It was just one of thoses nights for us. On my view of the team besdies Gabby we lack any real pace throughout the team, I dont count Baros because hes like a headless chicken, Ill touch on that soon. I Want Gabby playing up top & i want us to get a proper winger, Gabby cuts in way to much & his final balls are hit & miss. But again he is a forward being played wide. I think him & angel or sutton would be our best option. As for Baros he has to go. He to the by line last night, two unmarked players & he doesnt look up its just a punt into the box which got cut out by ben t. We need a fliar forward & i hope to god the robbie keane links are true. As much as i like ridgewell & Cahill & its great our youth players are playing Distan prushed passed liam, outpaced him and finished off teh move. For me olof needs an experience centre half along side him. I see Katzer forn rapid has been linked & hes as spoken himself about us wanting him. Hes a good player & better they liam & Gary. Sorry if that upsets people but i pay my money & thats my view. Its 2 loses out of 14 games so its not bad going, Its just how we lost last night which was ashame.
