We are still in the dark about how long Manni D and Josh will be out. A bit of transparency would be good. Also how is Dodds progressing, might he be back this season at some point (I realize it wont be any time soon)?

Dodds was ruled out for the season, the media person who replaced Chandy is noticeable by his absence, there hasn’t been a match report on the OS up until now for the game against Oxford.

Manager's pre-match interviews on Radio Tees and the OS have been pretty informative. Askey mentioned before his last game in charge that Hendrie and Crawford were nearly ready to come back. If Manni and Josh have needed scans on their injuries now is not the best time to get quick answers from the NHS! Tony Sweeney said as much about Manni after the Boxing Day game.

Surely we have private medical care for our players? Cant imagine Manni D or Josh sitting in A & E in Middlesbro hour after hour.

Banged me knee walking Ratboy and Ruby this afternoon up the Gare on the gate, but I will be available for tomorrows walk said the wife….how’s that.

Lennie said fuck the injuries, If you can walk your fit.

Course not, but consultants can afford a Christmas break.

Of course but today is the 7th of January.

it is a bit crap that we dont know the true extent of our 2 strikers tbh. Given one is our main goal game winning threat

Signing a forward is probobly a decent hint they wont be back for a while.

Panic over - Wreh and Ndjoli have come back from their loan spells

Phew!

Wow! From only Grey up front we now have three others: Njoli, Wreh and Duffus. Hancox has gone back to York.

Pleased to see Ndjoli and Wreh have both scored a few in the 6th tier. Realistically, they know their level now.

yep they know their level - expecting them to do the same now wont happen.

unless they both work alot harder and are feeling quite confident. Ndjoli showed us he could score against league oppo that time with Harrogate. Never really happened for him after that.

I doubt it too, but, they might fare better in the new atmosphere.

Mani D said on the radio last night that he expects to be out for 2-3 weeks.

If thats true its damn good news. I was expecting a month or two. Fingers crossed!

What actually is Mani D's injury?

Good news if he will be back shortly, but without much clarity on his injury, the cynic in me just assumed he had just been advised not to play pending a move into the EFL during the January window!

bit like hendrie and crawford coming back to start games earlier than we thought they would.

I don't think he said what the problem was.
