Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Is Drinkwater fit to play yet or are we going to be looking at moving Jeff inside and playing Lennon / JBG on the right?

Drinkwater not ready according to SD. We could just go with Rodriguez as per the second half at Villa.

Drinkwater won't play for Burnley again. It's October. He goes back in January.

Very bad news. We will presumably move Jeff inside and bring JBG back in (rather than Lennon I should think) ?

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Brady has looked full of energy and determination in his brief sub apperances and could be an option. Went into a thumping challenge at villa late on..He looks to me like he's got a point to prove..
Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Let's hope our failure to properly strengthen our midfield doesn't come back to bite us. We're now only an injury to Westwood or Hendrick away from being in massive trouble.

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Minor shoulder fracture to me says 3 months out minimum. Having broken my shoulder and had a hairline fracture on seperate occasions. The recovery for both is similar and usually 6 -12 months but reckoning in that he is a professional sportsman and has all the ice machines and technology at his disposal it should be a lot less than the man in the street. After a month he may even be able to play as long as there is a proper recovery plan in place but doubt that is the way that SD works

Makes Drinkwaters actions in Manchester look even more stupid. If he'd have got his head down and got fit he'd be knocking on the door for a game now.

We cant just buy 15 and 20 million quid players willy nilly as cover for all positions. We are always going to have a few dodgy situations and even the biggest clubs have these problems. If right player is not available then we need to stick with what we have.

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Gives someone else an opportunity to shine. Mcneil ? Hendrick. Is Benson good enough. Looked sharp at Fleetwood (not that you can read too much into that). Get Tarks in there !
Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Well, in a sense. If we have two players for every position, that's only a 22 man squad. Three men to spare. (One extra because McNeil doesn't count but one less because we have three goalkeepers.) So we should have worked out which positions are going to suffer the most injuries, and made sure we had extra men to cover them. Simples.Firthy wrote:He does have a point
How do we know which positions will have most injuries? Ask me another.
Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
You forgot about the goalkeepers. What if Pope, Hart, and BPF are all injured? Is Legzdins the answer, or should we have signed another international?claretonthecoast1882 wrote:Yeah but if Cork, Westwood, Hendrick & Drinkwater are all injured after that then we will be in serious trouble.

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
SD has handled a short-handed squad from day1 of his arrival and when required he has come up with a solution. He’s said touch and go for Saturday but probably after the break. No sweat. Whether it’s Hendrick, McNeil or Brady in the middle we do have options.
Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
I think there's very few on here who would say we had a really good transfer window and that we were adequately covered in midfield. Drinkwater was always going to be a gamble and taking a chance with him on loan was okay as a possible back up but we really did need a quality replacement for Defour. I'm not having a go at the club because none of us know who or how hard we tried to sign a midfielder but just agreeing with another poster that not signing a decent midfielder could affect us.dsr wrote:Well, in a sense.

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
First and foremost, if Cork is out for a while, it is a great opportunity for Hendrick. He's a central midfielder foremost, and he's got all the attributes to succeed in that role at this level. The last time he really got a run in his preferred position was three seasons ago, and you'd like to think he's matured and improved since then.
On the infrequent occasions he and Westwood have been paired together they've generally complimented each other really well, and I'm pretty comfortable with those two in tandem against Everton. I'd have thought we'd start with JBG, Brady or Lennon coming on out on the right (but there's nothing preventing that set up morphing into the 4-3-3 we saw on Saturday, just with the right sided forward being a bit more mobile and tricky than the 3 we fielded in the second half on Saturday).
As for Drinkwater, it's frustrating his injury was the product of off-field stupidity, but injuries happen and you do sometimes get two at the same time in the same position. Linking this back to the transfer window seems a hell of a stretch to me. We ended it with 4 senior central midfielders, generally competing for 2 positions. Few teams have more depth than that.

Will definitely be missed. Will be interesting trying out some of the things mentioned on here. However, missing a virtual ever present in our recent period of excellent progression over the last few seasons is not good news at all. Get well soon Jack....

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
With this injury to Cork isn't a major worry to be honest its probably if you had to pick a player to rest and bring in another player Cork being that would not have shocked me so on that note not detrimental
We have adequate cover why do some fans jump to the fact of our lack ability to sign players.
If we need one we get one that suits us and works with our infrastructure
Let's get behind the lads who ever comes in and experience the reality UTC

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Suspect it will be McNeil/Hendrick/Westwood and Brady in midfield, meaning we stay 442. If we go behind them Jay Rod coming on to play alongside Barnes and Wood, with Brady making way. Just cant see SD starting with 443

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
Correct. Dyche reckons, on the BFC website, Cork will be back after the next international break at worst. He's not often that forthright so I think we can be confident he'll only be out for the Everton game, if that.Cleveleys_claret wrote:Minor shoulder fracture to me says 3 months out minimum.

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
I think Jack remains our most consistent and hardest working midfielder. He will be missed but it is an opportunity for Jeff who appears to be improving and maturing.
There is no need to panic.
It makes me smile that there is any concern re Jack. The nay sayers said his legs had gone. Not in my opinion.

Re: Jack Cork 'Minor Shoulder Fracture '
A hairline fracture somewhere around the shoulder means to me he will be off longer than any non contact sportsman and I would guess at least 6 weeks if not longer. Come back too soon and land on the shoulder and the hairline fracture becomes more like a "hair piece" fracture.

That’s not all positions though is it ?cricketfieldclarets wrote:Well we did with vydra and gibson.
Point being made was that we can’t do this for every position.
Though that said we brought in a midfielder who cost Chelsea £30m and is being paid £100k a week as cover for central midfield....and we already had Hendrick who cost £10m as competition for these positions.
Are people seriously saying that we should have brought in a 5th player to cover these 2 positions ?
