He's becoming the player we always knew he could be and his passion is great to see.

I've also torn my ankle ligaments before, you can walk gingerly but all it takes is one step at a fraction of an angle it doesn't like and it's excruciating. It can happen many times during recovery and each time can set you back, it's a bitch of an injury. Couldn't play properly for 11 months.

COmmentator said the squad is staying out in austria for the Europa game - I wonder if that means it will be a fairly strong team? Seems worthwhile giving some seniors another run out and try to make the return leg a formality?

Noble definitely said that, was a horror Sunday league challenge. Finger's crossed Cresswell is not to bad, glad but surprised he left the pitch under his own steam.

The Karlsruher lad deserved a slap for that challenge. Reckless and unnecessary.

I tore mine in the first 10 minutes of a game, went on to score and play well into the second half.

Went up for a header and came back down in pain, pulled down my sock to see a black ankle, subbed and was out for months. Couldn't walk the next day!

Was it his Aaron's ankle? Looked like the interior of the knee to me. That's what he was grabbing at and that's what the trainers were looking at.

Just watched it back and it's a 50/50 for both players to go for but why on earth has that lad gone in with a full force two footed jump? Cresswell gets the ball first and is caught by the opposition.

Hope it's not too bad but expect he'll be out for a month (at least)

If we don't get in a LB within the next week, who can realistically play there?

Nice to see Fletcher on the score sheet again, fully expect him to be a back up option for us this season

Whether or not Cresswell is badly injured, this just underlines how lucky we have been for him to stay fit for so long without a proper replacement available, not just moving a centre back over, which might be alright for the odd game but not for a prolonged spell. Hendrie was never going to make it and the position has been ignored for too long. Silly really when every other position has cover although right back also needs looking at if Bilic doesn't rate Byram.

Somehow managed to miss every one of the goals with the stream running in the background. :fsake:

Saw the challenge, however, and it was nasty. Really thought Reid was going to hit the guy. Noble started the charge but Reid just kept going.

Have to back up what others are saying, doing your ligaments is absolute bitch. I got bundled over in a tackle playing field hockey, played on the rest of the game thinking it was just a twisted ankle, never got the right treatment after, and every now and then it randomly starts to hurt again and I can't walk on it.

Hendrie is capable in my opinion but he's developing at Blackburn so Page will come in and do a job for now. He was ill today by the way which is why we never saw him.

We'll have to be careful in the Europa games. Our opponents will have watched us today and will think we are easily provoked. We must learn to be more professional in these situations.

That being said, it was a terrible challenge on Cresswell, I seriously hope he's OK.

According to a Karlsruhe forum, in a post match interview their manager said Noble and Reid should both have been sent off and then we would have been in trouble. Muppet.

I did have to stifle a laugh with half a dozen lads trying to hold Reid back and him just storming on like the Incredible Hulk.

Losing Cresswell will matter a lot more than the result. Let's hope he's ok.

As much as I agree about needing reinforcements, I wouldn't say Hendrie will never make it. I'm sure he has gone on loan although if I'm not mistaken he picked up an injury ?

I'd also guess that Bilic does rate Byram - I think he'll be slowly brought into the squad in a similar way to Antonio.

I think we are monitoring / mentoring the youngsters a lot better than years gone by. I've got a feeling we will tie down both the Reece's this year as well.
