[Albion] Joel Veltman.

[stewardxxx]

We gave Lallana a new contract whilst injured so wouldn't expect this to stop us

 

[5Ways Gull]

Gutted for Veltman. Any news on Lamptey injury?

 

[jcdenton08]

Gutted for him. New contract please.

Out for the season

Out for the season

Don’t think we’ll see Veltman for a while either…..

Looks like Pascal is in for a run at full back. Shame - he is better further forward.

Wonder if Offiah will be given a chance.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Wonder if Offiah will be given a chance.

Gross RB
Caicedo and Gilmour CM
Alexis ACM

We have so many options now which is good

 

[maresfield seagull]

Wonder if Offiah will be given a chance.

Would like to see it

 

[GT49er]

Gross, Van Hecke or Webster all possiblr RBs. Not ideal from the attacking viewpoint for the latter two, but should be able to lock up the defence. Offiah? - huge leap up for an U21 player to suddenly be cast into crunch matches in the PL.
On the other side, Colwill at LB for Estupinan if needed - again, a more defensive option. None of these ideal, but hey, we might just have to get used to a bit of improvisation if the injuries occur at the wrong time.

Really sucks if the injury ends his season prematurely. He won't get the votes to win and become PotS but he's consistently one of our best. Steady player. Hope we are trying to sign him up for longer.

 

[gabrielnrg]

I love Veltman verymuch. His importance in the team is often underestimate.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Possibly never again if there’s no new contract. Think we’ll see an overhaul of the right back spot for next season. There must be a right back equivalent to Estupiñán in the Ecuadorion rainforest somewhere.

 

[Goldstone Guy]

Wonder if Offiah will be given a chance.

He been on the bench enough so my guess is that the coaching staff think he's ready/close. I think he'll play in some of the next 7 games.

 

[Originunknown]

Appreciate Joel but we need to sign a new RB, and a LB for that matter. If Joel is happy to stay on for another year then great but I hope we're looking at Rensch and others.

 

[Icy Gull]

Yes I noticed he was crying when he came off
Brilliant player for us

Yep, has to be a long term injury in his head for that reaction

 

[sdmartin1]

Are posters here just assuming the worst given Veltman's reaction? RDZ said he hoped it would be a small problem post match, although I appreciate hope is the operative word.

 

[zefarelly]

He looked pretty distraught when he came off. I hope its not that serious.

A new contract must be in the offering. He's been consistently superb.

Muscle injuries are very unpredictable. Not sure about the contract situation (though obviously want him to stay), but as soon as he tried to ‘explode’ pace wise, having been turned, it went…..

The Tariq situation just magnifies it. Thank goodness for Gross.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Really want him to stay. Huge player for us and the squad.
