Harden up Brad!

Can't you play in a moon boot?

campaignery campaignery ****sticks

Hope one of CEY, Jrn, Lyons and Grigg step up.

 

[Scorpus]

Really shit news, but I hope we don't rush him back and risk further long term injury

 

[Archie87]

AAAAAARGH!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! FFS the poor lad!!!!

This just about sums up my feels right now:

 

[Geoffa32]

Crap news.

But at least CEY is in form and is quite suited to play the role Crouch plays for us.

 

[Cap]

real shame that is.

pretty unlucky with his injuries to date, hopefully the last of a bad bunch and doesn't fall to far behind for the rest of the season.

 

[Carmo]

Isn't this the second broken foot he's had? Did they scan all the other bones and structure of the foot to see if theyre normal?

 

[StonesThrow]

Shit news. Was looking forward to watching him play from rd 1 more than any other player. think most people were tipping him to step up to A grade this year. Devo. Hopefully he gets a good recovery and finds form and fitness before the 2nd half of the year.

Check his vitamin D level

 

[xchadders]

might as well book my september holidays already :/

 

[TrainRoo32]

Cant be good for his confidence, hopefully Tex keeps him in good spirits

 

[Jeffcrowe]

He does still get the benefits of a great pre-season ... so he will be ready to go once the foot is fixed up.

Was really looking forward to seeing him in the centre of the AFC midfield, we'll just have to wait a couple of extra months.

This is definitely the positive ...last year he missed most of pre season with Achilles then more than 10 weeks with broken leg and was still a gun....this time he has a full pre season under
his belt , I still fear he won't play until around round 10

Ordinary trade is starting to turn into a 'bad trade, always injured' scenario. Double hit.

I'm with you, Kevin McHale played on a broken foot and that went............never mind

You realise this thread is about Brad Crouch, right?

Please explain.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Is the club offering counseling to fans?

 

[FantasticShirt]

Please explain.

Must be thinking this is a thread about Matt Crouch.

PHIL WALSH: I rang Crouch's dad after the game and said the good news is Matt is back but Brad will be out for a while with a fractured foot

 

[billy fragos]

Shit news, Luckily the season is 2 weeks away so he will be back around round 5/6.

Although it does open the window for players like CEY, M.crouch and Lyons too prove themselves especially with Thommo likely to miss the first few weeks as well.

He will be such an amazing player in the future but now we likely won't see his best till later in the season

 

[billy fragos]

The entire crouch family can't catch a break, 1 crouch in 1 crouch out, 1 crouch in 1 crouch out

 

[billy fragos]

On a team perspective the good news is we have a softish draw until round 7/8, after that we will need him desperately.

You know what these foot injuries are like 6 weeks turns into 12 then quite often they recur ...absolute stitch up

 

[Golumless]

Man can this guy catch a break, please! Hoping he has a speedy recovery and is back soon.

He did and is out for 8 weeks

(Yeah, that was a poor choice of words)

Yes. I don't rate him as highly as everyone else wants to.

Yet another injury is disappointing, but he's not fundamental to team success; not a key player.
