Agree - difficult to see how he can come back from this or at least have a good career. The lad must be so gutted, he had a fantastic future in my opinion and was easily Championship level. There is banter and then there is full-on idiocy. No football player from any club (even our rivals) should be laughed at when they have potentially seen their career in tatters due to injury.

USABlue Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Gutted for the lad, he's going to need some real morale support. A bright talent and nice lad by all accounts. Hope he gets through this. Quote
Bigdoggsteel Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Any word on what we are looking at here now? Surely out for the rest of the season? Quote

G Somerset Rover Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Any word on Nyambe too? Don't seem to get much in the way of fitness updates out of Rovers. Ben 'you should see what he does in training' Gladwin seems to have been on the comeback trail since October. Edited March 20, 2018 by Gavlar Somerset Rover! Quote

G Somerset Rover Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Nyambe out for 4-6 weeks according to Rich Sharp for anyone interested. Not ideal. Wouldn’t be surprised to see TM plump for Bennett there or go back to the 3-5-2. For me we need Bennett in CM particularly with Smallwood severely out of form.

Caddis isn’t up to it. Think Travis has fallen right to the back of the pecking order though following his reckless challenge at Pompey. For me it should be a case now of lesson learnt and integrate him back in. 1 Quote

Caddis is fine as back up. We need someone athletic in that position. Hopefully Travis gets the nod, but I suspect it will be Bennett with Evans and Smallwood in midfield. I am sure Bennett will do a great job there though. He is a great squad player. Everything you would want from a professional. Quote
Backroom DE. Posted March 21, 2018 Backroom Posted March 21, 2018 I don't consider Nyambe a huge loss but I wouldn't want Caddis in there as a replacement. I don't think he has the same qualities and was a poor signing in general. Bennett or Travis would be better options, although I agree we would lose something in CM if Bennett was to be moved out of there. A shame Smallwood's form has nosedived in the past couple of months. 1 Quote

Hopefully that was because he was so close to a ban. We might see the return of the king next Thursday 1 Quote
Bigdoggsteel Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 He will probably get sent off or something now.... Quote
SkipDonoghue Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Chapman injury apparently not the same as his initial injury....this time it is a hamstring injury but another part of his hamstring more muscular not tendon which if is the case it’s good news....fingers crossed for the lad 1 Quote

A player focuses on strengthening the injured muscle or tendon at the expense of surrounding muscles. Either way, I can't see him playing any major part in the run in Quote

Dreams of 1995 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 The issue with hamstring injuries is the scar tissue it leaves behind. It means players can be far more prone to reinjury. Consistent hamstring injuries are the end of some careers. See Sturridge for the most perfect example. He has to give himself time to recover and if I was him I'd be looking at missing out the season. He's young and has the next 12 years to think about 2 Quote

Obviously would love for him to have a future at Rovers, but this is one of those cases where you just want to make sure that the lad has a career. Promising news that's not a recurrence of the previous injury at least. Quote

Promising news that's not a recurrence of the previous injury at least. From a physio standpoint it's just as bad that another, presumably more healthy part of his hamstring, has pulled. The measure of severity of the injury will be whether he's pulled, snapped or just strained that part of the muscle. It will be further scar tissue either way and result in an even weaker hamstring. Hopefully he's allowed proper recovery time and doesn't feel pressured to play again. He's been a joy to watch in his short spell here but we must conserve his career like you say 2 Quote
Backroom Tom Posted November 5, 2018 Backroom Posted November 5, 2018 Chapman turned 21 today... Last night he played for Boro under 23s, set up a goal and then pulled up holding his hamstring and was subbed off. Its going to get to the point where the poor lad is scared to sprint Quote
tomphil Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Long term prognosis for his pro football career isn't looking good at all poor lad. Quote
Backroom DE. Posted November 5, 2018 Backroom Posted November 5, 2018 Seems Tony was right to hold fire on this one. 1 Quote
roversfan99 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Surely no one still holds the opinion that we should sign him in January? Quote
