That's a bit shocking. Hope its not as serious as it sounds or looks.

Today was much better great too see Rhodes getting a goal seeing as he hasn't scored in a while! Also good play by Marshall for his goal. Brown was also excellent up front today on another day Fulham could have easily got a point but I am glad we were able to see it through Spearing also played well on debut!
I hope Tommy Smith is ok sounded like a nasty injury

Down my end. Made me feel physically sick. It was a foul, but not a dangerous or bad one, just a barge in the back from a player going for the ball but he collided with Joe Murphy and/or the post and spent at least ten minutes out cold. After that it was clear our lads just wanted to get off the pitch. Bad afternoon all round.
And having seen it again, it looks even worse. Looks like he gets caught between Murphy and the post from behind the goal, momentum of the collision with Sharp. Their lad had no blame, just running in onto the ball, wouldn't have had an inkling of what had happened until the kick-off was delayed.

Judging by what terriersmad posted and the substitution details on the BBC match report, I think it happened in and amid the sequence that saw Leeds' winner scored, which came on 90 minutes.

You'll see a thousand worse challenges a season. Truly rotten luck. Just a player getting himself between a man busting a gut to get on the end of a ball, the ball, the goalkeeper, and the post. As I say, I think it's a foul, but you might disagree with me (I think it's a push in the back which makes him duck forward, but it's hardly a challenge that should end with those kind of consequences).
Number 1
But then there is a streak of truly sickening blows coming out of seemingly innocent challenges, and there is something really disconcerting about it as a concept. I've seen and heard of incidents before when it seems like nothing has happened and yet a player has been truly damaged by their place in the events because it happened in just the wrong place.

The worst injuries are innocuous challenges. For all we talk about leg-breaking challenges, it seems to be those where sheer bad luck gets involved which end up in the worst injuries. Rudy Gestede had to go off in a neck-brace at our place last season after an innocuous collision. In my own playing experience, I once took a shot on the turn and collided with a lad while I was falling - he ended up breaking his leg in two places. Grant Holt did his ACL pivoting, Anthony Pilkington broke his leg and dislocated his ankle when colliding with a player on the follow-through from a cross. We could both think of many we've seen which were just down to wrong place, wrong time or bad luck.

That's even if they're challenges. I've torn my achilles and torn my cruciate twice now and not once has another player been involved. Sometimes just turn or twist the wrong way and it's bad news. Some lad at the indoor centre the other week snapped his ankle in half after kicking the floor instead of the ball according to my brother.

Edit: On another note: we're absolute dogshit and Sheridan needs to pack his bags.

I also have a habit of injuring myself without anyone else being involved. First time I dislocated my knee there was (I made a challenge on a lad who was pulling the trigger, and on his follow through he caught me bang on the knee - it was a mess, I don't mind saying), but the second time I did it I just went for a shot when stretching and came down awkwardly. Banged my kneecap on the way down as well, so it had flipped over. Still on the right side of the joint, just back to front - I went to one hospital, and they couldn't work out what I'd done. They needed an orthopaedic surgeon to come from a different hospital to diagnose and to put me under properly to correct it. The knee still isn't right, and I'm probably going to have to call it a day some time soon. Buggered tendons right up, that one.
Anyway, Tommy Smith is home from hospital and should be back in action sooner rather than later. I doubt he'll be playing down at Millwall on Saturday, because he'll have a heck of a case of concussion, but hopefully by the Bournemouth game.

I've just been lucky the injuries have been all straightforward surgeries.

Awful appointment, might as well have stuck with Pearce!
We've been took over again, this time for real, by Dejphon Chansiri whos big in the world of tuna. Hopefully we'll be signing a few players today!
Vercoe
You've signed a Romanian striker already I think, right? Paid actual money for him and on a three and a half year deal I've heard?

Sergiu Bus is his name. Started off his career at CFR Cluj and scored 10 in 19 apps for CSKA Sofia this season. Still young at 22 years of age but who knows.
Meanwhile we extended Adam El-Abd's loan and terminated Shwan Jalal's contract

We've also signed Ishmael Miller on a 6-month deal from Blackpool. If it had been a longer deal I wouldn't be too happy, but he's not the worst short-term fix we could have got. He bagged a few last season, even if he hasn't set the world alight at Blackpool, and will offer something different to Vaughan and Wells. We'll see how he goes.

I remember singing "Your just a shit Emile Heskey" to him when we went Yeovil last season he was shocking that day

And it's everything that shitty club deserves. Cheerio, Holloway. Can't wait for your post-match excuses.
Also, when you see the second yellow for Wells tonight, consider that this 'challenge' by a Millwall man is considered worthy of the same punishment...
This year has been shocking for refereeing.
NiceLad
Yep refs are getting worse some how its embarrassing how bad its getting.
We drew again and our pitch is worse then Blackpools from the other season, the Sunday league pitch I used to play on is better
