Alex Neil said this when he was appointed as our manager.

He can’t be operated on. He needs to ‘rest’ for 5 months.... on a full wage... 250K for ‘resting’.

I should’ve been a footballer.

i fucking told you so... Play football and stop spending all day on here

And Daniel Johnson absolutely deserves the backing of Preston North End FC at this desperate moment in his career. He has delivered more than many Preston players and I think, even if in jest, your post is weak.
 
Johnson did the original damage to his quad in the Wigan game.

I know people defend our medical staff. But you just HAVE to ask questions. If he really will be out for months and months... should they have seen it coming? Should they have let him play on these last few weeks?

Mistaken for a dead leg initially, hard to say whether better staff would have spotted it but it doesn't cover them in glory.

It’s not a dig at DJ himself. If I got injured I wouldn’t refuse my wage or anything like that either. I’m not saying that’s what he should do. It’s just frustrating to lose someone in such good form at the minute.

Not mistaken but underestimated by the medical staff, IMHO.

We often think of a Dead leg as a minor injury but a severe dead leg that doesnt receive appropriate treatment can lead to calcifying of muscle fibres. We now see the result of that.
 
Come back off holiday to see DJ is out for the season and likely he wont be seen until preseason if fears are realised. Add that to Maguire out until mid January and it really was a bad week.

January even more key now than it was.
 
I had a similar injury in my early 20's. Took a pen first game of the season and snapped the fibres over an inch across and a cm down. It went in but I went down.

Took over a year to repair but I didn't have the resources and facilities that these guys have. Went again second game back but nowhere near as bad as the first time. These deep muscle tears are a nightmare.

Such a shame as he was showing the type of form from when we signed him even though he's lazy on the pitch.

AN says in post match presser that DJ only out for 4-6 weeks rather than the season. Great news.

Looks like the trip to the specialist was a positive one.

Excellent news.

How sad that we are pleased that one of our players is out of action for a couple of months. That just shows how bad our luck, with injuries, has been this season.
Lets hope Robbo is Ok and we don’t have more bad luck

We were right next to Robbo when the physio did the hamstring check.....no doubt he's fecked unfortunately.

Bloody hell... which player are you? 😛

Agree though... it looked more than a minor twinge. Got to be a month absolute minimum.

Hope I'm wrong, but you see for example Callum Woods doing his hamstring against Morecambe... he's been out 2 months, yet walked off just fine without any help.

Robinson could hardly put weight on the damaged leg.
