Echo News Southend United goalkeeper Mark Oxley could have injection to quicken return from injury

Given Gateshead's season has been cancelled I can't see them being in any rush to recall Montgomery so potentially risking Oxley's long term recovery seems like an unnecessary risk.
 
Bit of a strange take from MM, this. Seems to go against his usual diligence on when players are ready to come back, normally overly cautious if anything.

We have Montgomery & Seaden who are both fine. Leave Ox to recover naturally I think, better than risking another injury and scrambling to get 3rd loanee keeper in at last minute.

I agree -

I think the fitness thing is a control thing with MM ... a devious way of saying I am not picking you - you are not walking into my team
 
I don't think Montgomery was really tested in the Cheltenham game. I knew nothing about his strengths / weaknesses before the game - and I still know practically nothing!

But would agree doesn't seem worth risking longer term injury to Ox
