Breaking News Luke Prosser ruled out for Newport

[amsemp]

@CJPhillips1982: Luke Prosser suffered a fractured cheekbone and concussion against Dagenham. He's out of the game tomorrow. @SUFCRootsHall @Essex_Echo

Huge blow to lose him. He just can't stop hurting himself! What an absolute warrior, so refreshing to have someone so willing to shed blood for the cause. One of our most committed players this season.

rain! more rain! more more rain!

bloody hell he'll have a face mask a la Torres next game then! plus a headband...

 

[davewebbsbrain]

A proper trooper and a genuine 100% player

 

[Ricey]

And so it begins..... But luckily the transfer window hasn't shut yet.

is white fit again yet? could do with him back to get thompson back in the middle

White will be fit for tomorrow apparently. Phillips and Thompson in the middle I guess. Doesn't massively fill me with confidence if truth be told.

 

[Barling Magna]

Jeez...... have you seen the weather forecast for tomorrow evening......... ?

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

we all need to start doing a rain dance, we're not flush at centre half

 

[OldBlueLady]

Not happy about this at all, Luke's taken so many knocks to the head recently and now this? Glad John is thought fit, but concerned that there's a comment that it could put him out for the rest of the season if he hurts it again.

Is O'Neill available??

Is O'Neill available??

Not for tonight IIRC.

Shows how far Prosser has come that this is a massive disappointment.

 

[bazzashrimper]

Prosser has been in the wars this season. As well as he has been playing, I hope he's given the time to fully recover. I'm sure it's just because he thrives on sticking his neck on the line that he keeps getting injured, but it almost seems as if he's not recovering properly.

Southend United's Luke Prosser ruled out of Newport County clash

Prosser is a hero

My sentiments entirely. He's been great this season.

Indeed. Remember when people wanted rid of him? Halcyon days.

Luke has made real progress and is now, rightly, a regular starter on merit.
I have no doubt that although injured he will be at the Hall tonight, as a fan, cheering on his team mates.

 

[united we stand]

fingers crossed it is only one match as reported. Everyone in the team is going to have to step up. If the defence is put under pressure , especially in the air I think we will suffer. Time for
Phillips to get back to his POTY form

Not only that, but he is now our best central defender. Last season he was third best behind Phillips and Cresswell.
