Despite press reports only yesterday indicating that Shola only would be out for another two weeks with his knee ligament injury - reports today say that he had a cartilage operation last Friday, and is almost certainly out for the rest of the season!

Have we negotiated a group rate with Doc Steadman?

That's the trouble with injuries...you wait all season for a serious one and they all come along at once!

Feel sorry for the lad, but selection wise can't say it bothers me, unless Al gets an injury - and let's face it, he's due one. Personally, not a big Shola fan. He's done nowt to impress. Ditto Dabs. Don't like to see a pro injured, but it gives us the chance to try something different when plan A clearly isn't working.

Chronic touting Bellamy's and Speed's comebacks for Friday. Hope Bellamy's isn't a panic measure.
