Harry Chapman

[davulsukur]

As soon as he picked up the injury, I knew it was going to keep him out for a while. 

A player we really need and it’s just our luck he’s gets badly injured.

Gutted.

In all honesty at that time nobody really knew what or where a hamstring was. It's another modern football phenomenon.

I recall Francis having a career threatening ruptured Achilles. I saw a picture of the scars during his rehabilitation. Nowadays it would probably be done by laser.

My point is Shankly suspected that Francis would be prone to these sorts of injuries throughout his career and he was right.

Mm, it's certainly going to a lot of it over.

I was only joking Mercer and I agree with the above. He's a big miss. He's leading our assists chart with 3 and he never plays. Says it all about Mowbray's approach.

I see Tony McMahon for Bradford is second on the chart. Wasn't there talks of signing him during the summer? Pity we didn't.

And he's just got a bad injury I think i remember reading 

[Vinjay]

From Middlesbrough's point of view (or at least the one they ought to have) one of their assets has been treated with clear neglect. To an extent by refusing to utilise him more but its even worse when there's incompetence from Mowbray Magoo and the medics. Considering the obvious connection in management they should be feeling extremely let down by the neglect from someone they know so well.

Unless he was worried about the hamstring problem!

If that was the case he'd have give him a proper warm up, not brought him on instantly

[Bigdoggsteel]

Anyone in the under 23s who could step up?

Harper even? 

Silver linings and all that

[Mercer]

Think it's strange that this injury still hasn't been reported on properly on either Rovers' website or LT.  Feels like there's some worse news than expected coming our way.

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

So he got a scan from our specialist of choice and was then sent (or recalled) by Boro to see their specialist. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept him there.

Up to 3 months out.

Mowbray trying to make out he was just 'dipping' him in before he unleashed him....and saying Harry will be back to get us 'over the line.

Mowbray is full of shit.

[RevidgeBlue]

Terrible news. I  suspect  thats our season over as well unless Nuttall proves  the salvation. 

[alcd]

Continually bringing on an explosive player as a substitute after an hour sitting on a bench is asking for trouble.

Doesn't sound promising. Any future involvement this season 'in the balance'.

[G Somerset Rover]

Ties in with Mowbray talking a lot recently about bringing somebody in with pace during January. Sounds one of the worst hamstring injuries that I can recall - usually it’s a 3-4 month (ish) job for a hamstring operation and recovery isn’t it?

[Rogerb]

Strange how things work out. The injury to Chapman results in the 4-2-3-1 formation and six wins on the bounce.

Not quite. We played 4-2-3-1 at Southend opening day and got beat. We played also it during Chapmans only start of the season and won 3-0.

Without being unduly pessimistic as soon as I heard he was having an operation I thought we'll not see much of him again this season. That's a serious injury for a footballer.

[Husky]

Sounds even worse than that other Hamstring problem we used to have. Not good enough for Groundhog Gaz's Rovers yet good enough for the Premier League.

Once he needed surgery he wasn't going to be back any time soon.

When do the clocks go forward ? That was when I thought he'd be back playing when he got the injury but I may be out a few weeks. Starting training again  after that length of time out of the game means we may only see him in the last half dozen games.

Lets hope a serious  warm up procedure is in place for him when he does eventually get a game.

Looking long term, I don’t think he’ll go back now. Pulis will want 6 foot monsters in the side.

Especially if they go up, which is looking more and more possible through the play offs.
