[Archived] Reidy!

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

Oh Dear .... terrible news.

Good luck in your recovery Reidy ... lets hope the scan is favourable.

As someone said earlier, a lot off players fail to fully recover from a bad cruciate tear.

One of my favourite players and is/will be sorely missed.

crap start to a crap hungover day in work on a bloody sunday

Reid injury

[G Somerset Rover]

The LET describe Reid's injury as a 'scare' and that he was off for scans yesterday. Does anybody know the results of these yet? Hopefuly it won't be as bad as we all fear.

[herbergeehh]

It's always a scare when someone injures a knee, but until the scans are ready there's no way of knowing what kind of injury it is. Let's hope his cruciates are ok.

[allan]

Cruciate tear is easliy detected by a "draw" test.

[92er]

I think it was on Radio Rovers that there was speculation that because MH did not want to talk about Reid's injury that the news was going to turn out to be bad.

[G Somerset Rover]

It has...just seen on the online LET edition that hes out for 6-9 months.

David Dunn alone will not be enough now. We need a first 11 midfielder who can play consistently for the remainder of the season.

Thoughts go out to Steven though-I hope he recovers his form of old.

BAD NEWS - anterior cruciate rupture usually means surgical repair - premiership players usually go off to the states to see Richard Steadman for their surgery - it is the same injury as Michael Owen, 6-9 months is a very optimistic timescale for recovery.

Surely this means dipping into the market this Jan - and not just for Dunny.

This is very bad news for Rovers, and I feel very sorry for Reidy..

best of luck to Reidy, we'll need you next season!

[Ricky]

Ideally I guess we could do with an experienced midfielder who could be available to loan for a few months.

I'm sure there's a guy kicking his heels in Madrid who we could borrow until the Summer.

[broadsword]

Speedy Reidy's my favourite player.

I'm absolutely gutted for him.

Recover well, Stevie. let's see you back fit and well next season. Have faith mate.

[Esulx]

Just come through on the Rovers txt service...

"Rovers can confirm that Steven Reid will be out for the remainder of the season after sustaining a cruciate knee injury in training on Friday."

Get well soon Stevie.

[daveoftherovers]

Poor sod, gutted is the word, poor lad, a huge miss for us!

Get well soon Reidy, see you next season, keep the faith!

Think we're in the sh8 if we don't get some midfielders in, thread bare would be an understatement!

[Roar of the Rover]

A massive blow, could be out for around 6 months, he was so close to returning and thats why it hurts more.

[Blackpool_Rover]

Absolutely gutted. He played so well last season and helped us get into the Uefa Cup and cant even play a part in it. Get well soon Reidy and keep your head up!

On the BBC site now. Real shame

[T4E]

No he hasn't, the last few pages were all just people having a bit of a joke and talking nonsense. We do that sometimes.

Speak for yourself Edmundo.

[bubblerrovers]

I knew we should of cashed in,

oh well

[Guest Kamy100]

I knew we should of cashed in,

oh well

When he comes back and perfroms like he did last year I am going to shove that idiotic comment down your throat.

[Mr. E]

disaster.

[bob]

Wish him all the best, it took him a while to get going at Rovers (After his first set of injuries) still only think of him as a squad player don't see who he would push out of the first 11. But as I say wish him all the best!

[T4E]

I knew we should of cashed in,

oh well

Should of is probably the most idiotically infuriating error made by people on this site. As soon as I read that I tend to immediately disregard the remainder of the post. Usually its indicative of the quality of the statement being made - it certainly is in this case.

[AggyBlue]

I feel for the lad. Just when there was light at the end of the tunnel.

At least, for Rovers sake, it happened during the transfer window.

[West Sussex Rover]

I feel for the lad. Just when there was light at the end of the tunnel.

At least, for Rovers sake, it happened during the transfer window.

Not that were going to act on that fact by the looks of it... The best we can hope for is Dunn and even thats rather disappointing...

[Radagast]

Ah damn damn damn crap. Poor Reidy. This really dents our chances of finishing strong this season.
