Tommy Elphick out for season (merged)

[Dave the OAP]

Thanks for that, that is good news...

Yes, he looked fighting fit, but he hasn't been able or allowed to kick a football since the injury. He is certainly looking forward to getting back playing

If this is the case 6-8 mounts, then sadly I think we have seen Tommy in an Albion shirt for the last time.

Mounts?! Pesky predictive text again

It will just be a case of getting back into it Im sure...

Tommy was in the club shop getting Liverpool tickets today.

Elphick out for season

According to Andy Naylor on twitter

 

[Brightonfan1983]

He's had another injury? Reading Twitter, he's out again for the rest of the season

Unsuccessful op...

 

[RM-Taylor]

Unfortunate for him that he's out of contract then too.

 

[El Presidente]

Andy Naylor confirmed it too on Twitter. Bad news for both club and player.

He wasn't good enough for us in league one. Gonna be nowhere near championship standard.

 

[Dave the OAP]

As I reported earlier....really sad a great bloke

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Chin up old chap. Plenty more seasons to come.

It would have been nice for him to have had the chance to prove you wrong. Show a bit more respect to a player who has always given his all for his club.

I don't see why Elphick dropping out means we suddenly need cover, Elphick rarely if ever cut it at L1 level.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Poor sod needs another operation and will miss the rest of the season. Hope it's not going to be another Adam Hinshelwood scenario.

It must be gutting for him. Get well soon, Tommy boy.

 

[Albion Robster]

What happened?
Did the orginal operation not work? I thought the guy in Sweden was the best in his field? I hope BHAFC have got a 'money-back guarentee' as the operation was not a success?!

 

[Daffy Duck]

Evidently, the original op didn't work and he's gone to see a Finnish surgeon, in Sweden now, I think.

We have Greer, Dunk, El-Abd (when fit) and a utility player (Vincelot)... I think you'll find that means we need to replace Tommy...

Cook? I am pretty sure Calderon could fit in there at a push
