Ryan Fieldhouse

[Town Army]

Looks like he's going to be out for a while, popped his shoulder in training. Bit of a blow

[anok4u]

Seen him yesterday didnt look to good, if it wasnt for bad luck...

[bomberisgod]

That's bad news as Ryan looks to be the real deal at the back for us.

That's bad news. We need to have our key players on the field if we are to do anything this season, it's about time that we had some decent luck with Injuries.

[havenhater]

The only positive thing is we have 3 ready made fullbacks in Mellor Miller and rooke to take the role temp.

If it's Miller which id expext. Perry, sutton or Litherland in the centres

Absolutely . That’s rubbish news . We’ve a very strong 17 but it’s tough absorbing injuries , and of course being us it’s always  a key player 

[gillmeister]

Bad news but Mellar finished last year in fine form at full back so we’ve a great replacement 

[DocH]

Agreed Mellor to FB with Rooke to the wing. Town luck strikes again.

[Town Army]

Mellor to FB and possibly a Huddersfield DR to come in on the wing.

Forgot about him to be honest, has he played in our friendlies? Suppose it depends on who gets the gig at FB.

Been removed off squad pen picks on the website so can assume so I think David.

Can't make training due to work commitments apparently.

Unbelievably bad luck. That could cover nearly a third of our fixtures. 

[DavidM]

Bad news , but could have been a lot worse with a bad shoulder injury . Hopefully a quick healer and it’s nearer 6

is this official?

[Cumberland Sausage]

Bloody typical of our luck but at least we have a bit of cover available with either Elliot,Tyler or Scott playing Fullback.

You talk about luck there. 

Injuries happen all the time in sport. 

Luck has nothing to do with it. Its about planning and acquiring a squad that is flexible and ready to deal with the bumps in the road. 17 men ready to go for the club week in week out with all bases covered .

It’s still bad luck though, Ryan is probably the best full back in the division, yeah Tyler  or ell will easily slot in there but then that’s moving either your best centre or winger out of there strongest postition. 

[DavidM]

Luck plays a huge part in sport . It’s the one thing you can’t legislate for . Injury is part of that as a few clubs are finding out already
