smetrov Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Many of us said we should have signed another CB. It didn't look a bad tackle at all - I was right by it - A bit concerning (if rumours are true) that the match day physio deemed him well enough to go back on the pitch. The one decent signing of the summer - just hope as a younger guy he heals up quickly. It's only concerning if it turns out that he is indeed out for 6 months. He might've just been taken off as a precaution. You were at the game were you not ? I was pretty close - the way he went down - he was then on the floor shaking his head ie "I need to go off" - The physio checked him over - and thought he may be able to run it off. As some one else said - I would have thought that meant it wasn't serious (ie a couple of weeks) - But he was taken off because he physically couldn't continue - not as a precaution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, we don't know what the physios said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatAboutTheFinish Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 We are going to seriously struggle without Okore for most of the season. Basically I can't see us finishing any higher than 15th again with the defense we now have to rely on. We are going to seriously struggle without Okore for most of the season.

Just for the sake of clarity because I can't be sure....are you suggesting that we are going to seriously struggle without Okore for most of the season because basically you can't see us finishing any higher than 15th again with the defense we now have to rely on?

StefanAVFC Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You don't run back on with a torn ACL/MCL/LCL. He'd have been crying with agony with a torn cruciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of agree - But he did go down and his first reaction was "thats me done" (or actions to imply as such) - Physio did his stuff and he went back to try and run it off - for about 20 seconds !!!

What I mean't was and has others have said - if it was a serious ligament tear - surley the physio would have spotted this almost instantly and called for a stretcher ? - But in this case the physio thought he may be able to run the injury off. But no for clarification I wasn't suggesting Okore was looking for an early finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If it is a tear then he's one tough son of a bitch because he certainly didn't react as though he tore something, he looked like he just jarred 'it'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2013 Is that him standing up on the end of the second row Certainly looks like him next to Gabby to me, if that was taken this is all a little daft as scan or not he clearly hasn't done his ACL.

bannedfromHandV Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It wasnt a bad tackle, his leg planted whilst the rest of his body continued pivoting so i'd suggest some ligament damage but not necessarily a long term one, bloody hope not anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted September 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2013 I don't think our season comes crushing down even if Jores is off for six months. Clark will be fine covering for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'll wait for the OS. And while Clark has definitely looked good this season, I'd rather have Okore in there. So while our season won't come 'crushing down' as you say, it certainly won't help matters and it puts that bit more pressure on a position that we haven't been blessed at for a while now.
