Gallagher

Foxestom8 - True, although I'm wondering whether it was that alone or a soft tissue injury as a result of that.

Got injured smashing in some back-doors !!!

From the Mercury: 'Leicester City midfielder Paul Gallagher could be out for up to five weeks after it was confirmed he damaged ankle ligaments during last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Barnsley.

The 27-year-old landed awkwardly on the raised perimeter of the Oakwell pitch and twisted his ankle towards the end of the first half, forcing him to be replaced by Andy King for the start of the second period.'

So King coming on and rescuing a point had nothing to do with Sven's Svengali type skill, pure luck forced by an injury, why aren't I surprised!!

You aren't surprised, TB, because you've got it in for Sven.

Could those who want it to be 'not a soft tissue injury' explain? You'd prefer it was a broken bone, or what?

Some people prefer soft tissue to the hard scratchy ones.

fatfox, that's not what I mean at all. Obviously I'd prefer it if there was no injury at all. The thing is that impact injuries are largely unavoidable in football, while pulls and the like are signs that a player isn't fit - or that the coaches aren't getting him fit enough. It's not that I want Gallagher to have a broken anything, it's more that I don't want it to be a sign that the coaches aren't doing their job properly.

Still, as mentioned above, it seems that it happened because of a freak accident , so the point's irrelevant.

I think Gally, along with King, are the 2 players who have suffered most from the summer of transfer activity.

The two of them have looked lost when playing this year - and I believe they don't really know their roles, or look comfortable with their team mates this year.

Gally is a very, very good player, as he showed last year. He'll come good again. Form is temporary, class is permanent.
