Popular Post rodders0223 Posted May 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I know every fan says that but seriously, no other club gets the shit luck that we do. From Nilis, to Laursen, to Bouma, to Angel's knee injury following a 23 goal haul, to Benteke's achilles and Bent's broken ankle taking away half of what made them what they were. Seriously. The ****. Edited May 2, 2017 by rodders0223 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The real irony is he broke his ankle in a game where we barely broke into a jog for most of the match and didn't trouble the opposition defence too often. How the **** did it happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 As bad as this us, I think it may benefit us from a team point if view. We need other chipping in with goals it's tine fir those yo come. Maybe opens door with McCormack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need others to step up, but we needed them to do it when Kodjia was fit and they couldn't do it. I hope McCormack gets another chance but I don't think he's the answer. If anything he will look as lost as Hogan under this managers preferred style of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Sad for Kodjia I am sure Tony is more pissed off now as he will have to buy another bloody striker. 15 million bid Gary Hooper coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Great. Wished we hadn't appealed the red now! In fairness players come back pretty quickly from clean leg breaks now so hopefully he won't miss too much of next season but he won't have much of a pre season either and that can disrupt a players year as we saw with Benteke in 14/15.

John Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Typical! We get his ban cut and then this happens in the first of the 2 games he would have missed. We can only hope that he gets well quickly and that we can bring someone in on loan should he have to miss the start of the season such as Tammy Abraham for example. We really cannot afford to not hit the ground running at the start of next season and without his goals we are likely to struggle to score as we have done this season when he was out.

sidcow Posted May 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2017 Most of the websites I have looked at say sport can be resumed within 3 months of a broken ankle. OK he misses pre season but not a huge slab of next season. He really should only miss the first 2 or 3 games, maybe even none if it heals quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 3, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2017 I would say this is a possibility to being in another genuine class striker but January and the acon tournament mess keeps flashing in my mind. I hope we learnt a lesson then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 well at least it'll force Bruce to learn how to play football without lumping it to the star player. ( please don't just buy another star player ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted May 3, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2017 I doubt it will affect the team too much really; May, June, July, half of August... then he'll be back. Depending on the break obviously, but I think it likely that he'll be fine for the start of the season, or thereabouts. Looking on the bright side; if it had to happen, now is the best time as we're safe in the league, one game left which has no real meaning, and three months before we play competitively again. Plus it pretty much stops any chat of him going anywhere else. Get well soon Codge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted May 3, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2017 Tbh if things like this are going to happens glad it did so only in time for the final game. hopefully he can recover quicker than expected I time for next season, the we really havnt missed a lot!
