Is there any news anywhere when the above mentioned is going to be fit for first team duties?

Vaguely remember Richie saying a few weeks back that he’ll be available in a few weeks so hopefully soon

There may be good reasons - possibly confidentiality may be one, but I wish the club would post news about our injured players. It's not all about strongest team, needed for crucial games etc, sometimes it's just about caring about these guys. RW seems to want to shrug off questions about fitness of players very quickly, as if perhaps he doesn't feel he can comment about their progress. Club statements would be official releases via the medical / physio etc team - this is how it is.

And Tom James he’s never asked about him , we miss him so badly , need him back urgently

There always was a part of the website rather like a physios corner which gave us an estimated time of fix. Backward step not to have one now. Is the thinking that it may give opposition managers too much information therefore an advantage?

That kind of thinking would be commendable if we were fighting an Information War but last time I looked the battles are conducted on a soccer pitch.

Club has probably got better things to do than make sure a website is updated with expected return times that our opponents can see.

He was asked about him Tuesday, and told DD a couple of weeks.

We can always tell lies to throw a spanner in their works but just something that is no more like the line ups that no longer appear in academy reports..
