MisterCarrow 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Yes Yes Yes...................lets hope it is only cramp. Good to have Chris Martin back as well at this stage of the season just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

87canary 0 Posted April 12, 2011 Noooo, he said he hopes it''s just cramp and he won''t have a better idea until tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Allman 1 Posted April 12, 2011 I really hope Lambert is right about cramp, but it didn''t look good at all to me. Holty did a run down the right the cross went for a corner and he started holding his hamstring after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThorpeCanary 71 Posted April 12, 2011 have not seen anything but from what I hear it sounds like it has every chance of being cramp, when players go down (seemingly to time waste) chances are half the time they really are in agony! - Grant Holt chasing a late winner isn''t going to be rolling around on the floor though is he.Hoping for the best though!

Dr. Ink 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Unfortunately I fear another PL cover-up in an attempt to keep our next opponents guessing.Does anyway actually know how close Wes really was to making a return? These things don''t heal quickly, just look at Barnett and Martin for evidence. It''s a massive challenge now, to stay in touch with the automatic 2nd spot.

curly_whirly_tipz 0 Posted April 13, 2011 The plus I am going to take from this is when Wes went off there was no talk on cramp, only hoping it wasnt too bad an injury. However if cramp is suspected I am going to cling on to this hope!Secondly NCFC official twitter announced that PL said the following: PL - ''Wes was close to making it tonight so we will keep assessing him before Friday'' #ncfcMy guess is he will be on the bench Friday! Fingers crossed!!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,383 Posted April 13, 2011 Martin & Wes back - rest the old man Holt so he can repeat 3 more at Poorman Road - three points even on Sky - job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted April 13, 2011 Why are people intimating that Chris Martin is the answer? We must be desperate if that is an option.He hasn''t played for several weeks and his form this season has not been great.Have we enough games for him to get back in the groove? I doubt it!I was impressed with Vokes last night and if Holty has to miss some games, we are in a better situation for cover but someone will have to take on the ''terrier'' role, a role by Holty that is so important to our gameThe squad are well coached and full of good characters. It will be tough now to gain second place but if any team can do it under these circumstances it is NCFC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted April 13, 2011 Didn''t look like cramp to me. he pulled up holding his hamstring. Nobody went over and helped him stretch it out if it was cramp (as is usual in these situations). I will be utterly amazed if its not a hamstring injury and I will also be amazed if he plays any part against Forest or the scum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,332 Posted April 13, 2011 It didn''t look like Holt had cramp from where we stood last night.He pulled up quite sharply holding his thigh and was a passenger for the rest of the match. I''m sure he would have come off if we hadn''t already used all our subs.To be honest I wouldn''t be too surprised if that''s the last we see of him this season.Fingers crossed it turns out to be nothing too serious....

Hunter106 0 Posted April 13, 2011 I don''t know much about injuries and how players get them, but does the increasing injury list of players who have had hamstring problems indicate that something is not being done right in training? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter106 0 Posted April 13, 2011 I don''t know all the ins and outs of how players get injuries, but as we have a growing list of players who are injuring their hamstring, does this suggest that something is not being done right in training? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a1canary 0 Posted April 13, 2011 My money''s on a thigh strain. A bad one could keep him out until p/offs. I don''t really believe it''s going to be a minor one. I don''t think Grant Holt notices minor injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted April 13, 2011 Hamstrings have to be the most common injury, even after lots of warming up etc, they can still go at any point if under too much strain or whatever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly neither Holt or the bench seemed too concerned. The physio never came to take a look. If it was something that could have been aggravated and made worse by remaining on the field I am sure he would have been taken off. 10 men or not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
