Do you think we will see the same again with Chev Walker? He could potentially be out for the whole of next season, and is OOC at the end of it. I know its early days, and we dont know what the prognosis is, but, I for one, would not be surprised.

The most important thing at the minute is to make sure Chev gets the best treatment possible and his every need is cared for by the club. The last thing anybody at the club will be thinking about is getting rid, all the best Chev, good luck in your recovery

He is not taking up a quota spot and i would assume insurance is in place to cover his wages for the length of time he is injured.
So no need for them to let him go until they are 100% sure about his future.

He did suffer the injury at work so maybe he needs a good ambulance chaser.


BTW Hope his recovery goes well

Unfortunatly,it is an unknown quantity.
A few years ago Ian Knight who was playing for Sheffield Wednesday had a similar injury.He recovered,came to play for Grimsby,and broke it again.It finished his career.Hope the same doesnt happen to Walker.

bloody hell, hes suffered an horrific injury less than 24 hrs ago and now your ready to throw him in the offal bin

bet he'd be really chuffed to read this drivel

he needs support right now from the club, fans and family not a threat of being booted out, very loyal i must say

I agree!

i for one hope the club do the right thing and he's back playing for us. always rated chev when he was at leeds and was really hoping he hit that type of form for us.......get well soon chev

Where has anyone stated that this is what they want to happen?

Legitimate question really, could probably of waited 48hrs or so though.

Think the extent of the injury needs to be known before any decision are made, this will probably be a week or two.

Until then Chev will need the support of those around him and the club.

Absolutely horrific.

The following has just peen posted on the rovers forum

Just to let evryone know, Chev's operation went well last night, he's awake this morning and in good spirit. I spoke to a nurse on his ward in Leeds Royal Infirmary who informed me he may need a 2nd operation but they won't know until the doctor/surgeon has been to see him today. I'll be going to vsit him at some point this week so I will pass on any well wishes. When I hear from Chev (when he is allowed his mobile phone on) I will update further.

As pointed out, Walker doesn't take up a quota spot, so there would not be any point to de-registering him and paying out his contract. Hopefully he'll be back playing at some point next season.

I think everyone associated with the club should just focus on giving him all the support he needs on the road to recovery.

Jesus wept, he's just suffered a horrendous leg injury and yu want to discuss whether or not we should get rid of him? What a fool, He needs our support right now

You can't really say untill you know how bad it is. He could be back for the start of the season, or, god forbid, it could be career threatening. Lets just hope he gets well soon.
