Breaking News 'Big' injury news

[Firestorm]

Corr has a knee problem he picked up at the end of the last season, apparently its an unusual problem for footballers although he has had similar before in the other knee, if things respond then he will miss the start of the season an then be eased into games towards the end of August , if not then its an op

BS has an ankle injury (caused by a colision with Bil) he has had a couple of injections and they are hoping that will fix it.

I presume that Corr is the major blow mentioned :winking:

Injured player who is widely known to be injured is injured? Wow, "British journalism Eddie, best in the world."

Barry Corr to miss the start of the season. Might not be fit until the end of August - see today's Echo for more



No surprise. Typical Echo!

Oh well it is a blow, but it just means we have to get on with signing RR and another Striker sharpish... :winking:

You expect one to be announced soon smiffy?

Big Bad Barry's just giving everyone else a headstart. :cool:

I hope B. Corr take it easy, after all, I alway have problem with my left knee playing football in the past, more rest & right treatment then he be fine before end of Augs.

What worries me is that Lawrence Bloom, widely acknowledged as the main reason Barry and Lee Barnard kept fit after injury-prone pasts, has now gone.....will that mean we see less of Barry this season??!!

I knew it was corr. He said as much before the start of the game in the car park.

Luckily we now have a bit more upfront and im sure that johnson can play a more forward role if need be.

After id complimented barry on last years tally my mate said he expected barry to score more to which barry just laughed and walked off.

I dont think barry will get as many games this year or score as many goals. We can afford to give him the rest he needs and rely on others to score goals.

Sign of a hopeful season when the prospect of last years top scorer being on the bench does not seem like a death sentence.

Completely agree, being without Corr is still a big loss, but nowhere near as serious as it would have been last season.

Was gonna say this time last season but don't think he had arrived in Southend yet this time last year!
