[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

[saafend_seagull]

What is the point in speculating how long O’Riley will be out for? Apparently half our fanbase turn into Doctors with 0 information available apart from a 2 second clip.

Wait and see what the club said and don’t get worked up about it.

Looks like metatarsal from where it hit him and how he reacted. That’s 3-5 months out. Guess won’t be named in our squad if that is the case.

Really pissed off. Hope Crawley get relegated.

Ditto.

Hope that Williams gets what’s coming too:

That's what it looked like to me - but I didn't have the perfect view of it.
And agreed, it'd be Jan earliest if that is the injury, imo.

Edit: May well be ankle, not foot, as per Twitter/X.

 

[um bongo molongo]

It would be terrible if Jay Williams were to get a hardcore ‘Jamieing’

Be like a new signing then..... Ohhhh

That's pessimistic, isn't it? Depending on which bone it is, recovery could be quicker.

Sadly, this it the reality.

He didn’t say anything of the sort in the interview I just watched. Said he hasn’t even spoken to the lad yet.

 

[jcdenton08]

Did he go straight down the tunnel?

Erm Alex wouldn’t make that up

Are you calling Alex Crook a liar?

 

[BevBHA]

No, he stood on the side lines doing star jumps

 

[HangletonGull]

Did he go straight down the tunnel?

yes

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Marvellous

It’s shit and a really shit tackle. But was it worth risking a new signing two days after he’s signed?

A lesson learnt maybe for Fab or even the club if there was any pressure.

It was clear he was being brought in specifically for a role that no one else in the club can currently fill. Why risk him against league 1 Crawley in a nothing game.

Did you say that before the match?

it wasn’t really a nothing game given it’s a viable trophy - something we drastically lack and our past results against lower league teams

 

[StonehamPark]

"...couldn't get any weight on his ankle" - not 'foot'.
Not great...

 

[DJ NOBO]

Some nobody from Crawley decides he wants to make a name for himself and deliberately injures our player .we instantly we lose a valuable asset and o’riley heads to hospital.
Meanwhile said Crawley nobody shrugs his shoulders and walks away.
Funny old game.
