That's the bastard referee! He's allowed Sunderland to do their rough stuff. What a grade A piece of total *********!Dislocated his shoulder as well as suffering a dead leg, absolute warrior that lad, puts himself about that much he seems to get injured at least 3 times a game. Will be a big miss for a few weeks but at least we've got Thornilly, Husband or Big Marv available to replace him
Hope he's OK. I wince every time I see someone go near him. Quality footballer who reads the game well but looks like a player who has been moved to centre half from midfield earlier in his career to dictate a passing game from the back.Dislocated his shoulder as well as suffering a dead leg, absolute warrior that lad, puts himself about that much he seems to get injured at least 3 times a game.

Yes, reads the game so well too, always seems to know what’s going to happen then throws himself into the opposition to stop them.
And Maxwell didn't give him much sympathy when he did that
I hope Embleton does return on Tuesday, because we missed him today. There was too much space between our front 2 and our midfield, which EE would have been in linking up play. I agree about Thorniley, he was very good today from the minute he came on. Hope viking recovers asap, as posted he's an excellent defender.
Deserving of MOTM with Garbutt. Both lads performances were excellent.Dislocated his shoulder as well as suffering a dead leg, absolute warrior that lad, puts himself about that much he seems to get injured at least 3 times a game.

ye olde saying, even the fish get battered in blackpool
Both I would say Insy
) who thought Gretarsson was a bit of a soft @rse and hadn't researched how tough EFL football was .
Agree , absolutely. He is a great central defender. Brave,astute and can definitely find a pass.Hope he's alright.
I do not think Kemp and Woodburn were that bad. Kemp is doing well at Orient and Woodburn was trying to find his feet in a side that was in a state of flux. He did not get enough game time to write him off as a poor player, but needs to realise after his early success at Liverpool he has a, lot of work to do to reinvigorate his career
Good points
Competitive league where he's come from but Aalesund had him in midfield then left back then put him left of a back three with a DM sat in front, so maybe not the same direct workload. Rolls Royce of a player when you look at some of the forward passes that go exactly where they should do, and how he reads danger. If he can stand up to the physicality every week in league one and take the big knocks then he won't be here long as left footers are a premium. Critchley's assistant was coaching in Norway so seems obvious how they found him.
I’m sure he can stand up to it, today was borderline assault ref lost the plot.
Was it roughly 62 years and counting since were were on such an unbeaten run?There was a poster on a while back (can't remember who it was
I think he knows now.
What an excellent signing and well worth waiting for rather than rushing in and signing half the player on 1 June.
I don't share your optimism.
A dicky tummy put him out of a game the other week so not sure a dislocated shoulder will be something he runs off for a while.
Not on this occasion. He just thinks the whole team is sh1t.
To be fair, at half time today he said it had been an enjoyable half or words to that effect.
If he has dislocated it he might not be back this season, 10 to 12 weeks at least for a rugby player maybe less for a footballer but if it hasn't gone back in it could be surgery depends what damage he's done to the muscle and tendons etc. Hopefully with the squad we have we will be OK.Dislocated his shoulder as well as suffering a dead leg, absolute warrior that lad, puts himself about that much he seems to get injured at least 3 times a game.

It wasn't Maxwell hitting him that popped his shoulder, it was Wyke walloping him. Just seen it on Quest.
Not Hubby - little game time.If you had to, you'd go with Thorniley but then I've dislocated my shoulder and been right as rain a couple of days later. Not a major thing tbh.
