So IS JOC out long term?

[bladesince64]

Have I missed something? Has Chris mentioned owt? I know we have to play our cards close to our chests but someone must know something.
For me he's our most important player both defensively and attacking.
If he's on the pitch v Geordies and we don't get done over the top cos he's covering Egan or vice versa. Going forward,well we all know how that works.
Just tell us and we can start to plan round it not ideal but we can move on.
Btw we can win at OT. They were very ordinary v Tottenham.
Still all to play for.

I think Wilder has said it isn’t season-ending. We need him back ASAP though.

Robinson was steady at Villa but looked well out of his depth yesterday (all the others did too in fairness). With Egan suspended too, our lack of squad depth is getting horribly exposed at the minute.

Worrying that we only have basham as a cb. Can't play robinson there looked useless yesterday

Jack Rodwell masterclass incoming...

We seem to have done incredibly well over the past few years with injuries. Hopefully, JOC will be back soon as we don't have anyone who can do his job. Yesterday, nearly all of our attacking play came down the right. Not having a pop at Robinson, but he doesn't offer anything going forward. I would move Enda across and play Osborn at LWB. For me Osborn is the only one of our back up players who has really come in and fitted in seemlessly to the side.

I think he knows JOC will be back but he is just playing his cards close to his chest.

We all want to see JOC back, but at the same time it is important that we don't bring him back too soon and run the risk of him getting injured or playing him when he isn't up to speed.

Still a bit raw the day after a defeat to be fair and not sure he wanted to do the media interviews today.
