Yeah. Nothing official but hammy pulls are usually a good few weeks.

Done for the season for me.

Just hope now we are safe, give Patto a run and get JOB in the middle.

May as well see what the fringe players fan offer.

We KNOW what Keane offers, don't allow him to completely derail the rest of the season, pretty please.

We've nothing to lose now really, might as well give Patterson and O'Brien a run in their preferred positions and give them some game time. Keane, Coleman and Young aren't the future.

One of our most underrated and under appreciated PL era players?

Just a solid 7 out of 10 every game isn't he. Nice and steady and up until now was hardly ever injured.

Good snide too.

Dread to think where we'd be without

Maybe I'm being way way too generous, but based on his consistency I thought he was a bit unlucky not to get an England call up to play alongside Branthwaite (and Pickford) last tournament for a ready made defensive structure. At least be in the squad contention, but I think Southgate had his biases.

Anyhow, I like him and he has Jagielka vibes a bit.

He’s been good for us but he’s very much at his level playing for a team constantly in the bottom six

Will be a massive miss though.

He's a very good barometer of how we are doing as a team. When we're good, he's an underrated gem and when we're not, he's a fucking hopeless clogger who wants replacing.

He's definitely not Jagielka level and nor does he have the talent of Branthwaite but he has definitely been a plus player for us, had more good games than bad and he's a big gap to fill.

See posts above LOL - unappreciated.

I feel like a fair few teams above the bottom six would play him every week. Something to be said for solid, fit and consistent. Above average in a lot of areas without being truly terrible in most and made of iron instead of glass. Apart from the most artsy footballing teams I feel like he's gonna play.

Did say he was a massive miss to be fair.

There’s a reason he’s played all his career in the bottom part of the premier league though. That’s his level.

Look at the teams in the top half and the centre halves they have.

The likes of bassey, van hecke, Murillo, konsa, Guéhi, milenkovic, Collins, Andersen.

Doesn’t mean he hasn’t been a very good player for us but he’s been very lucky to get away with some of the challenges he’s put in this season.

Will still be an important player but at 32, he’s going to be a player we’ll be looking to improve upon in the next year or two if we start moving up the league.

Konsa, Guehi and Milenkovic are better. Collins and Van Hecke are good, close. None are more important to their team.

In an era when Tyrone Mings has 18 England caps, he's been unlucky to only have the two from ages ago.

This surely can't be true. Tyrone Mings? Played for England? 18 times?
