YLN Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't think it looked good. The way he stood on it and then realised that it was **** and sat down again would say cruciate problem to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hope the injury isn't too bad simply as we don't have many options at full back at all. Lichaj is the obvious replacement (and I don't think he's that bad at LB at all albeit not the attacking warrior Lambert wans there) but say Lowton picks up a knock and can't play at Fulham, who plays at RB, Herd, Hutton?!

NurembergVillan Posted October 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2012 No broken leg. He's got a Rooneyesque gash on his shin. I won't post the image as its rank but you can find it in the Daily Mail report here It's not pleasant. You've been warned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't post the image as its rank but you can find it in the Daily Mail report here It's not pleasant. You've been warned! Safe to say he won't be running any time soon with that thing carved into his leg Bright side is, it looks like it's just a deep gash, and not a break/tear/sprain, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted October 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2012 I thought he was a bit too cautious, to be honest. Our lack of width means that our full backs have to get up the pitch quickly and he seemed a bit unwilling to do it, relying on stopping and passing the ball inside instead. There's some mitigation from the fact that he seemed to be on his own on the left for most of the game (Clarke noticed this too which is why they channelled everyting down their right for the first 10 of the second half and got a goal out of it) That said, he looks to able to time a tackle, he made 3 or 4 very good ones and the free kick wasn't a bad effort, Hopefully he'll get more confident with more games and he'll have the confidence that his position will be covered if he commits forward. In fairness, our full backs were facing Lennon and Bale probably two of the most effective wingers in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2012 Did he do it on the advertising boards? Don't want to sound like a fanny, but I reckon someone's going to get properly injured with those advertsiing boards at some point. Especially at Old Trafford where the pitch slopes down towards them. If someone's running full pelt to get to a ball and stumbles forward it could be all sorts of horrible.

rosenthal Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Don't think he hit the ad boards with his leg, he landed with it underneath him just outside of the grass. Not sure what surface is there, or foreign objects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ah ok. Someone on Twitter (Mat Kendrick I think) said he'd done it when he went into the advertising boards. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yep, that's a gash alright. And I don't think he cried either - well done Joe. I wouldve been crying like a babe. If I hadnt passed out first anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Shame, because I thought he was actually having a good game, bar the goal.. Will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2012 He might now miss a game to be fair. We've got the international break now so he's got a couple of weeks to heal up. I imagine there's a good chance he'll be fine for the next match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 8, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2012 This is a pity. He looks very good and well able for this level. Hopefully won't be out as long as Rooney was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It looks a horrible gouge. I think the time delay with these sorts of injuries is too with the stitches and not aggravating it. Hopefully seem him back soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I had something similar, though less severe as a kid. Was told to lay off any sports for a good couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NulliSecundus Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) He seems to think he'll be fit for the next game @joebennett27 "All stitched up ������hopefully ready to kick on next game against fulham thanks for messages."
