They cancelled their play-off structure and finalised places with 1 game of the pre play-off regular season left to play.

I'll take a wild guess that he's injured

Played a total of 11 games for them. Was out for nearly three months with a hamstring injury but has played in their last six games.

Regarding Steven Defour it's a crying shame for him above all and for BFC afterwards that he was injured so much

Things were falling into place for him with us. He'd "got" SD's philosophy and we were seeing far more of his ability. It was clear from watching him for five/ten minutes that he was an excellent player technically. The problem was consistency and lasting matches.

We all wish he'd avoided injuries but I think all (or most) of us will look back fondly on his stay at TM.
