Stringer is saying on Twitter that Pearson has confirmed it's a double jaw fracture and may need metal plate. Going to be out of action for a while
This is far worse than a double fracture, this is a double fracture and a slide in the league position.
Massive loss that we will not be able to replace.
Apparently Stringer said suspected fractured jaw but we know his record.
Personally thought it was an unlucky event. No malice, honest challenge.
No it wasn't! The player had been at him all night, it was a shocking challenge, I don't think the ref saw the incident properly from where he was.
Bollocks and ****.
I've been saying it all season but we really are a one man attack, aren't we? The other strikers are so poor Fryatt is having to do everything himself: drop back, take on players, set up and score himself.
I've been confident all season but I'm bricking myself now.
"We have no idea how long he will be out but, obviously, it is not going to be short term," said Pearson.
