Suspected broken leg/ankle this true ??

I feel sorry for Wheeler, I really do. He's had wretched luck. But it's time to offload. He's taking up a salary and he's putting in less than 1 in 3 games over 5 years. I hope it is just bad luck and he can resurrect his career elsewhere, but we need to move him on and use his place to bring on someone whose bones aren;t apparently made of monster munch.

What a joke.

How many more chances will he get?

Don't know but I hope not for the poor lad - he was in a lot of pain.
I would have thought he would have been stretchered off if they suspected a break?

Won't be missed did nothing tonight and did nothing last week

I think thats an awful comment.
Yeah, like he wanted to get badly injured. Doh.

He was holding the back of the thigh. If he's broke it, it will be the Femur.

Think it is hamstring

That's a tad harsh.

The guy was absolutely gutted in the changing rooms, he probably knows this was his chance and that could be it for him.

The guy gets injured alot and yes it maybe time to let go, but no need to kick the lad when he's down.

I don't think either Gaskell or Wheeler have grabbed the spot for their own. But those predicting we would not see Gaskell again this year, will have to reconsider. I just hope Wheeler can get his injuries sorted and get a better run elsewhere and good luck to him.

Hamstring was the word from the match reporters.

Looked like a torn hamstring to me.

If Wheeler was a Horse he would be in a Beef burger by now.

Really sad to see him get another knock.

You hold your hand in your mouth every time he plays, and keep your fingers crossed that he will get through the game.

He has heaps of natural talent, but will never show it for as long as he is living the life of a tampon.

I just hope this is the one knock he suffers this season and he can then get back to playing in the first team.

I think half the reason we've not wanted to see him unloaded is the fear that another club will pick him up, sort his injuries and he'd be a star against us.
I really don't think that's ever going to happen now - either that or our medical staff are failing him.

Mark,
The truth is he's been overrated from day one. You saw him getting overrun in the U20's final back in 2008/2009. He was outstanding as a 16 year old but no one at Saints had the balls to bin him at about 20.

I don't normally bag young players but this love affair at Saints is laughable.

He's a joke. If he leaves and goes on to be good for another club, fine, Saints have done all they can and given him more chances than any player deserves.

He simply cannot be given another chance in the first team.

Bags of potential, great footowrk and the ability to make you go' how about that'. The problem as someone has already alluded to is the 52 games in 5 years. That is simply unacceptable.

I hope for his sake that it isnt a bad one and that he recovers in good speed but i think his time is quickly coming at Saints.
