Never seems to get the rub of the green with injuries that lad. (Potentially) significant news for us given how crucial he would have been for Derby's playoff hopes.

Good. Anything that weakens a potential play off opponent is good, particularly Derby.

Can't quite bring myself to say "good" about any young footballer suffering a double leg break, especially one with luck like Thorne's. Pretty sure he's just recovered from a long spell out with cruciate ligament damage.

Wont make much difference to them as a team as they will bring in Bradley Johnson but hard on him as a person or player.

Think he missed most of last season after getting injured on the opening day or something. But yes , second serious injury for him in 2 years

Not good really. Best they lose to Hull fair and square, and not have players out injured long term.

I'm being honest. I don't have anything against the man, but he'll recover in 3-4 months; and if it helps BHA get promoted, I won't pretend I'm not pleased. There's also a small matter of 30 000 Derby fans booing Solly March off the field after he suffered a potentially career ending injury that adds a nice sense of karma.

Really, I'm just being honest. Besides, he's only broken his leg and will be back playing next August; until then he'll be getting handsomely paid and receiving the best medical treatment available. Far worse things happen.

Lad's not long back from being out for six months with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Wouldn't wish a double leg break, just after his recovery from his earlier serious injury, on anyone. Well, apart from maybe Joey Barton.

Awful. I wouldn't want to win anything on the basis of a rival player getting a serious injury.

Best wishes to Thorne and I wish him a speedy recovery, 99% of Albion supporters would agree, unfortunately like most clubs we have 1% that are brain dead idiots, unfortunately some of them represented on this forum.

Well I sincerely hope you're correct in your medical assessment.

Not my assessment. It's reported in papers as a clean break and he's predicted to be back in action in 3 months. He'll miss the play offs and probably pre season. Broken bones are often far less serious than soft tissue injuries, even though they sound more dramatic - look how quickly Tex recovered after his leg break last April.

I take it that that's aimed at me. I'm neither brain dead, nor an idiot, just a hard nosed realist.
