Echo News Southend United midfielder Alan McCormack suffers calf injury in defeat

Macca has a historical calf problem. This was known when signed. This is just a continuation. Looking at 4 weeks min then obviously trying to get 60 mins fit (around his max).
Olayinkas groin initially responded to an injection a few weeks ago which is very common. It's also common it wouldn't do the job well enough and I'd suspect an op will be the next stop.
White will need another week min by the sound of it, but as long as under 3 weeks in total the muscle memory factor should mean it won't take much to be match fit.
I didn't realise how bad rangers injury was. I heard the muscle got detached from the bone so his will be several months min. He's still contracted on a rolling basis.
With Taylor's poor match recovery ability and macca out, it would seem there may be no choice than utilising JD back in the middle despite the benefits to the team of displays at right back. I expect he enjoyed and much preferred his true position and Elvis can play in front of him, but there's no one else does the nasty mid job better.
So, common sense suggests JD mid and Elvis back in at right back. But there's always the high probability of a bit of MM tinkering to shape and who goes where.
Morecambe is such a big game now. A win and col u lose them who knows. The lads go up there today so let's wish them well.

Thanks for the update. Olayinka is the huge blow, he could have helped drag us out of trouble. Without him, I just can’t see us having enough.
 
It stopped the rest of the team from getting a game
To be fair the defensive side of our game is pretty good for this level, unfortunately we're so comfortable with marking players our attackers keep marking the opposition even when we've got the ball!
 
Personally I don’t think he’s done **** all since he’s been back on the pitch, I would say his age and losing a yard of pace translates into frustration on the pitch for him which is why he keeps giving away silly fouls, that’s something we don’t need.
Shame because we all know how good he was back in the day but it’s not the same player for me
Having Nicky Bailey to play alongside always helps
