Title: AJ confirmed as out for the rest of the season
Post by: NorthernWhite on February 05, 2010, 03:25:22 PM
No pressure on you then Okaka!

We'll really miss Kamara's pace now as all our strikers are of a similar mould. If we need to change a game up front, we'll be struggling.

I just hope they can put some lipstick on the bulldog so we can get a bit of the money back from him in the summer.

We shall miss him. We failed to find a right back and Pantsil is out for the season and we failed to find a replacement for AJ and let Kamara go. Frankly we deserve to be struggling with foresight like that.

I can't understand this based on Roy's quotes from the week.

He says they expected him to be out for a short period of time, so they loan out Kamara. Now he's out for the season.

Have they really got this that spectactularly wrong??!

I'm sorry to hear it. Looked good in Europa qualifying but back to back injuries have killed it.

Don't think it is right to shoot the guy down because he has been particularly unlucky this year.

One of our hardest working players last season and got us some valuable goals.

He's still got a couple of years on Owen, Nevland, Beattie amongst other more senior strikers so will be good to see him back next year. He may not have the pace but he has certainly got a poachers eye for goal and would be happy to see him play a role next season.

Get well soon Aj

We had our best stretch when AJ went down in the fall.  'Row Z' came out from the woodwork and was playing brillantly.  We found Gera to be useful.

Sorry to hear he won't return; it may be better for him to just rest up though and recuperate for next season.  Hopefully we'll find a striking-formula like we did earlier in the season.
