Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

[Thatheaderman]

Hope this talk is by the same people who spread the rumours about Rigg when he was in hospital.

Will wait for official confirmation by the club.

It isnt , but it's not reputable, so good news

 

[TB22]

Hes gained so much confidence over last couple of games rounded off with a brace v Stoke. Hope injury is not serious because he is going to rip through some defences this season. Great prospect .

 

[hordonian]

Talk of 2 month

Correct, ligament damage.

 

[wilbur]

Looks like he might not be fit until March then according to someone on Twitter who was right about Mundle and Browne before it came out. Sums up our luck

 

[Scorer]

Whilst it’s quite likely to be ligaments because of the nature of the challenge it’s probably too soon, even with benefits of scans, to really predict how long he’d be out for.

 

[Thatheaderman]

Correct, ligament damage.

Shame. "We've got no bast*** luck" was my first message to my mate .

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

If it’s 2 months then I’m absolutely gutted for the lad. This was his chance to get a good run of games and Mundle would’ve had to force him out the side.

I’m sure there’s no team in the country with worse injury luck than us.

 

[CraigyLee]

Won’t see him till the clocks go forward I bet

 

[Hot Since 82]

Said pretty much that at the game last night, as he was be down on the touchline. See you in March Tommy. What the fuck is it with Safc and injuries.

 

[Sunderland06]

8 weeks.

 

[billybobmackem2312]

6-8 weeks according to the lad from WTF who was spot on about Browne and Mundle.

Honestly our f***ing luck man.

We don’t need a striker for January we need a bloody witch doctor to get shot of our injury curse

 

[Barney73]

It’s poveda time

 

[Drexl]

If they’re saying 6-8 weeks he’ll not be back til March based on previous injuries to squad members.

When’s Mundle due back? He was 6-8 weeks iirc.

January for Mundle

 

[Drexl]

January for Mundle

At best I’d imagine, and even then a few more weeks to be ready to start.

No idea who plays left now, not sure we have another inverted winger for that side.

Absolute nightmare mate. Or Le Bris will have to change shape??

Yep, the answer could be 5-3-1-1 with Hume and Cirkin playing further forward. Whatever it is though we’re significantly weakened.

Maybe Isidor on left, Mayenda up top? Or vice versa?

 

[Keith S30S]

Cirkin and Hume would be the wingbacks

They aren't wingbacks. They are classic full backs. It's a negative system if you play 5 out and out defenders.

As someone suggested, we'd be better off sticking to our normal shape and playing Wilson wide left and Mayenda upfront. If it's not working bring Connolly on.
