When was the last time you were back in the UK BR, and what was the last match you saw?

I left in April 2000. I can't remember the last match I saw.

I concede that a decade away has likely skewed my memory. Maybe I dreamt the ambulances, or perhaps my mind has somehow turned the ever present meat wagons into ambulances.

I believe you will find Charlie went off in an ambulance, it arrived about ten minutes before the final whistle all blues and twos.  Of course Charlie may have a double, if that is the case play him up front, or the ambulance could have been for somebody else!

My eyesight wasn't good enough to confirm if the player concerned was Charlie or not from the far side of the DRS, but the guy next to me was adamant it was him. If as Wilson said post match, the shoulder popped 'Out and back in again', I would have thought that an ambulance using blue lights and two tones might have been a bit ott.

We'll probably find out one way or another tomorrow morning.

Shoulders are bad news because they dont have much of a joint, its mainly muscle that takes a long time to heal.

Its what finnished Barry Corr off at Swindon.

This is very very bad news for us.

Such injuries didn't do Bryan Robson any favours either Spencer.

A guy who sits next to us though he saw Charlie in the dugout too. But it doesn't make sense if it was a shoulder dislocation as Wilson said.

As I said earlier, it seems even  a straightforward dislocation can take 8-12 weeks, but I guess its going to be weaker and a higher risk from then on. Still at least it might fend of any interest in January until it is proven to have healed.

They are hoping for 4-6 weeks. He didnt go to the hospital.

According to Anthony Marshall at the Adver, he did go to GWH and was discharged just after 6pm.

The positives from this is now we can see how we'll cope without Austin should he go in January, then again this injury could keep him here through the window. I think Ball, Pericard and Dossevi can step up to the plate.

Ive got faith in Dossevi. He was very good on Saturday, and is improving every week. I think the real question is ball, pericard or a.n.other alongside him

Agree with that McGovern has not done much this season to be honest.

Am I just being a cynic in thinking that last season might have been a one off what with being out of contract at the end of the season?

From what I've seen of Ball so far he seems too light weight to play a full 90 minutes up front. He looked better on Saturday, coming on for the last 20 minutes or so when the defence were a bit tired but I cant see him starting yet.

Pericard & Dossevi for me, Ball on the bench as impact sub

I did say that a few times last year but i don't think thats the case now. I just don't think the system suits him but as results are showing it suits the team so we have to think about the bigger picture don't we.
