Scougs Out For Season

[GetItIntMixer]

Hi lads n lasses, was hoping my first post on the forum would be a more positive one but unfortunately not!

Stefan has had the necessary scans etc and its shown exactly what he, Nigel and the fans most feared, ligament damage. Likely to be out for the rest of the season and beyond.

Let's hope he makes a full recovery as he's a top lad, top player and he loves the Blades!

 

[Gavlar]

sad stuff top lad and good player......

ps welcome to the boards.

If true you gotta feel sorry for him but he has had a poor season for me. Showed so much potential and I expected loads from him after last seasons start.

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

If this is true, I am very sorry to hear it. I'm firmly in the pro-Scougall camp for his never-say-die attitude and hundred per cent effort and I hope he comes back from this refreshed and ready for next season - and let that be in the Championship.

Chin up Scougs!

lucky we have a "bloated" squad for such set backs

Out of interest, how would you describe a squad of almost 50 (I've lost count) players?

Luxurious.

Luxurious.

Aye.

I'm fairly sure BTL will consider it essential and well planned.

Fictional?

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Luxurious.

Well padded.
Rotund.
Chubby.
Cuddly.
Big boned.

Yes, I thought after I'd typed it that it can't be that many. Someone said 45 the other day which was possibly bollocks, but the pertinent point is that it sounded realistic enough to to not question.

Our squad is way too large, the result of poor planning by either Clough, the club, or both.

Welcome to the forum Mixer......could you tell me the source of this story? There's nothing on the Blades' site, so just wondering where this can be found?

Just enough to get eleven fit players to the playoffs.

 

[Bladesman]

Ah so this is why we have a million midfielders in our squad.

Hope Scoooooogs gets fit ASAP.

You saying our medical team are not up to it too?

Someone on Blades Mad apparently said 41 and he was including in the "first team squad" the likes of Scarisbrick, Banton and Hamilton.

We have 22 senior players and about 7 juniors who might get a first team game. Some of these 29 are injured and some will be loaned out soon. Quite a few less than 50 at any rate.

No. Speaking from past experiences.

Too many, at every rate.

UTB

 

[alcoblade]

No. Speaking from past experiences.

Seriously, are you suggesting that this is the optimum squad size?

It's too many both financially, and it terms of getting anything like a settled 11 out.

Best get him a booster seat so he can watch from the stands.

Sad news

Welcome to the forum!

Which knee ligament? And what's the damage?

40 shirts of Red and White.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Would feel genuinely sorry for any player with that type of injury - but where one door closes...........another one opens.

Is it cruel to say perhaps we may get more creativity in midfield?

Good questions fellas. needs PM ing tofind out.

Had a quick check from various trusted sources boo, not a sausage about Scoog's injury. Not suggesting it's untrue, but if the OP revealed this I'm scratching my head as to where this was first revealed. As you suggested, will PM asking the same question.

I know he got a knee injury, but he walked off and he'd run around a fair bit after his knock.

Could be medial or lateral strains and it would be a matter of weeks and perhaps more likely from a tackle. Speculating of course, but didn't see him struggling like you'd expect from a rupture or torn acl or even pcl

So hopefully it's not too bad

 

[Kev Gee]

Eh up scoogs.

Your a top lad. and good player. cant fault yer effort. youll turn it around.

In the mean time whilst your injured i think you should take a job as an extra as david platt on corra.

see ya..

 

[GetItIntMixer]

On Tuesday night, it was impossible to tell the extent of the damage caused. Since then, the relevant tests and scans have shown an opened knee joint and a slight rupture of the knee ligaments!

The injury is certainly worse than first feared and the recovery process for an injury such as this will be around the three months mark.
