Saw him about half hour or so after the match and he was definitely limping but didn't look too unhappy.

Agar definitely said the knocks to him, Horne and Radford were nothing serious but its possible he didn't know the full extent of the injury then or was playing it down.

Alternatively it may be there is nothing in this story.

TBH I did wonder if he would be rested against Crusaders anyway. I'm not saying I think he should be rested but I can see a few changes for that match.

If anything Washy will come in, be named at 7.

with Tansey taking some work on in attack i would think.

Pointless makinf 3/4 changes to accomodate one change

Agreed.

Leave Tansey where he is and utilise either Washy or Turner in the halves. Too many changes could upset the team further. Although if Calderwood was fit then him coming in and Hall to centre, Whiting to FB and Tansey to 7 would also make sense.

I agree we should keep tansey at fullback changing things around will just spoil our cohesion.

going off topic a little, i read an article in the papers that Leeds have adopted a new policy for this season regarding telling the press or fans any injury news unless that player is happy too, just wondered what your thoughts were on this stance and if other clubs should or should not adopt it?

Maybe Rovers could tell their fans where Clinton is!

I'd simply leave as is, Tansey is here to be the FB so no reason to move him out of that position. If either Horne or Long or both are not risked then Turner & Washy get their chance in the halfs. Just can't see what good it would do moving players around who have put in great perfomances in the positions they've played so far and what it would achieve when for my mind we do not need to do that.

Saw Longy saturday night with his wife and he was walking fine so hopefully he will be fit for sunday.

Thata how I see it if we keep moving Tansey then if will be hard to be cohesive in the positioning needed to be a top class full back and I really fell he can be just that.

Maybe they would if they knew

Sorry if this has already been stated but Longy picked up an injury (assume it's the dead leg) when he made one particular tackle in the 2nd half. He fell pretty hard (and awkward) onto his side and from that point he was moving around the field with less fluency.

Make your mind up what do you really think we should do ? nothing like covering your options !!!!

The injuries they are concerned about were sustained in the first half and meant that both Longy and Horney ha d to stay on excercise bikes all the half time break to keep from stiffening up! He may just have fallen on it again in the second!

Horney had a heavy strapping on his leg before the game kicked off.

Anyone carrying a knock would have been rested for Wales anyway and i am sure we now have the cover to cope with such events, although i do not read much into these world exclusives anymore on here I must say that if there is a game to miss this is the one!!
Sure the likes of turner and Washy are more than capeable of covering and would be good to watch Turner also in a game where there are likely to be more openings than normal
