Mahon Injured!!!

Just had the text - out for 4 months needing knee surgery!!

[stainrodisalegend]

Oh ****.

What was that some people were saying about "why oh why are we signing so many midfielders"?

[Morris]

Vine also out for another 2-3 weeks.

[Dando]

bad news - lucky we still have good central midfielders - but need someone to keep it simple and protect the back 4 - not sure we have that

[Morris]

Your right Dan, maybe legs will have to go back into the center to provide the "steel".

[stainrodisalegend]

We tried that against Leicester and it meant Damage at right back and we looked dreadful. Looked a different team when Legs switched to right back.

[Morris]

I agree mate Rambo was poor, but we cant afford to be over run in the center of the park.

Id much prefer Legs RB but then whos the ball winner? Faurlin maybe?

[m_cooper]

legs is the only other ball winner,but he would have to be more disciplined

[cross it Dave]

Quashie on a loan?

[MYU]

Mahon set for surgery

Vice-captain pencilled in for knee surgery on Tuesday

[m_cooper]

no,too old and a horrible track record with his previous teams

[Rich]

Watson and Faurlin with Legs RB for me

Watson and Faurlin with Legs RB for me

i have to agree. I think Legs can be excellent, but dont think he keeps it simple enough in midfield sometimes. We need someone to protect the back for, keep it simple. Losing Vine is a blow too - looks like pellicori will return, oh dear

[HammersmithR]

I wouldn't give the captaincy to Legs because he can't control a football or pass it to someone in a blue and white shirt. He can't lead by example. He really got shown up on Sat against Jermaine Johnson. We can do so much better than him.

What other candidates are there for the captaincy?

Don't say Stewart, and I don't like the idea of a keeper having it.
