Paddy Roberts Out For Up To 3 Months

Soon as i read the thread title I thought, 'again?'

Missed most of the season for us last year, now a recurrence.

Could be a sign of a promising player pushed too far and extended too much in his teen years, now his body's breaking down.

A real shame - top class bhoy on his day - but I wouldn't want us blowing millions on a crock if we were ever to go in for him.
I was talking to someone about Jack Wilshere the other day.

We were talking about his performance against Barcelona a few years back and how he was being talked up as the saviour of English football.

Then it was injury, upon injury, upon injury and probably all related to the very reasons you've mentioned.

Can't say i'm overly concerned about Wilshere, he has that whaft of hunnishness, but Paddy appears to be cast from the same mould.

I sincerely hope i'm wrong, football needs wee boys like that who want to try and play the right way and who aren't just robots.

God speed with his recovery and hopefully we can get to see him reach his full potential.
