Nolly 0 Posted December 20, 2010 A lot has been made on here in the past about Zac''s injuries. From memory most have mentioned a calf injury.I''ve just seen PL''s comments on injuries on the main page and he says he has a hamstring injury.Is this some sort of creeping illness that gradually debilitates the whole body :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted December 20, 2010 I (for my sins) was at Dagenham and/or Redbridge in pre-season when he got injured during the warm-up which apparantly has lead to this lengthy lay-off. If he is STILL out as a result of that same injury picked up back in July then there must be something fundamentally wrong with him. Maybe he has recovered from that but through ''over-compensating'' has resulted in him picking up a different one?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Young One 0 Posted December 20, 2010 [quote user="tom1902"]He must be dead.[/quote]What a total balls up signing him in the first place, he was injury prone before and that has continued.But PL has made some decent signings so I forgive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfc4life 0 Posted December 21, 2010 While I was prepared to be patient with him at the start of the season im really starting to lose patience with him and his injuries. You wonder whether hes a bit of a Kieron Dyer or Darren Anderton who is just constantly injured. Its hard to see him making any sort of an impact this season as he is probably a million miles away from match fitness and with Barnett and Ward playing well together it will be difficult for him to break into the side. If maybe he could get fit by January we could send him out on loan to a league one club for the remainder of the season where maybe he could get some games under his belt and maybe he could come good next season.

Salopian 1 Posted December 21, 2010 We bought him while he was injured, and he had a record of being injured. Perhaps the long lay-off is partly to give the injury a good chance to recover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRAZY LEGS 0 Posted December 21, 2010 what about hughes forgot we had him , anyone know when he is back i rate him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted December 21, 2010 We were by Millwall fans that he would be forever in the treatment room and it looks like they were right. Just fortunate that we have 4 other CBs! Apparently Drury is nearly fit again which will be a big relief. Hopefully Hughes and Surman aren''t that far off either, but at least there''s Lansbury''s extension.

Syteanric 1 Posted December 21, 2010 I dont think Zak Whitbread actually exists, it was just a name cooked up by a clever employee at the club and is a way they monitor supporter interest in the team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted December 21, 2010 If he can''t play against Fakenham in the Norfolk senior cup after being so long then theirs something badly wrong! I just wish I had done a deal where I was paid £1000 for every week that Whitbread is out injured! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Darren Anderton did play alot of games, but he also missed alot injured for long spells at crucial times when he looked like he was about to become a huge player for England, a massive shame.I guess Lambert felt that Whitbread is potentially so good that it was worth the gamble, not the players fault and as said before no secret about the history of injuries. Just one of the very few signings that havent come off so far, it happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted December 22, 2010 Whitbread is back in training now according to Lambert, this is a crucial time. If he can train well and stay injury free he might be able to get onto the bench in the next month or so, would be like a new signing for the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
