Hope its not the case anyway, though a week or two out may do him the world of good. I`m hopeful its not that serious, I would of thought he`d have been struggling to walk let alone take a pen but then again Waggy is a tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Step up Nicky Clark and give us more of the volleys like last night and take this chance that has came your way.  Waggy get back  to fitness and form soon we need every1 fit and ready for the league and cup challenges Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 It wouldn't have helped that Holt jumps on his back after he scores the penalty. I think if he felt there was a problem right away, which is what he appeared to do, then he should have got it seen to immediately. Hopefully not too bad.

If it's just a strain I think he'd have managed to take the penalty still.  If it was a tear however he'd struggle, I've done the cruciates in both my knees (one of them twice) and each time I struggled to walk let alone run. Hopefully won't be too bad but there's every chance he made it worse by taking the penalty etc when he should have just came off though!

The Tavernator 279 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Clark has scored some beauties for us. He's more of a penalty box striker than Waghorn so I believe if he gets good service he'll score regularly. He's had a run of bad luck, so eventually it has to end and he'll get a run of good luck. It would be great to see him revered on RM as much as Waghorn is. I think he's capable of delivering. A front 3 of Clark, Miller and McKay, with MOH, Holt and Halliday pushing forward would be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,864 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If the club are suspecting ACL then it's more than likely that's what it is. Fingers crossed but I'm expectjng the worst now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,008 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Because was able to step up and take the pen I hope it is just a strain, a snapped ligament would make the knee too unstable unsupported and agony as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirWeiss69 802 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Tbh I would play Mckay MOH and king as the front three or I would go Mckay miller and MOH. Clark scores some important goals but I just dont rate him, all credit for effort and all but in terms of quality MOH and king are far superior to him.

I could barely walk for a couple of days after I did mine in and it immediately swelled up. I've seen footballers who are able to get up and then try to carry on before breaking down again (I'm sure that happened earlier this season in England with somebody, I just can't recall who) and I've heard of people who have done it and initially not felt it at all. I'm no doctor but I assume the severity of the year will play a part in that (along with your pain threshold  ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik2402 1,321 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I've ruptured my ACL twice. He could not have got up and took that pen if he had done it. Leg would buckled on him. Worrying that club fear it could be gnat though. Hope not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy 2,518 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 surely there's an epl striker we could get on loan til end of season if he's out for season.  if we loaned Hardie out outside the window then surely we can get someone in  would be gutted for him if he is Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same feeling last night when waggy came off after his pen hope it's not though as it will be about 4-5 months min. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob talks about it in the press conference which was live at around 11th February. It's on the club's official YouTube channel mate, if you do a quick search on google or YouTube to see what he says and I agree with him. Get well soon Waggy, hope you will be alright, hopefully he is back in time for the Petrofac Cup final in April at least, if it is long term in the worst case : ( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his recent press conference (just before the replay) Kiernan said something along the lines of "want them away" or something to that extent. Following that young leeds utd goalkeeper getting cancer (due to the rubber pellets), and Waghorns injury (and countless others) I don't really blame him. EDIT: I just realized how poorly I worded what I originally said, I'm sorry for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was prolific with QoS, but dried up playing for us, a better team that gave him much more opportunities than he would have got with QoS. It reminds me a bit like Kenny miller's first stint with us. Scored 5 against the buddies and everyone expected him to do that every week. A good time to step it up would be against QofS.
