Dawson has tweeted that he is likely to need surgery and could be out for 10-12 weeks.
Well spotted, RLC. But it begs the point why this news isn't on the OS.Dawson has tweeted that he is likely to need surgery and could be out for 10-12 weeks.
Think that's a bit harsh in respect of Kirby, who's doing well on loan at Stockport and hasn't been given a chance at this level. While agreeing that Stockton doesn't fit our current style, the fact he's scored 3 times for a struggling Southport side suggests he's got something going for him. Jackson is beyond garbage however and hasn't been able to use his only asset, his pace, to any advantage.No, all three of them are s***e. Jackson was obviously an unknown quantity at the start of the season, and has not started many games. It is now obvious he is not good enough, but it is pointless replacing rubbish with rubbish.
Stockton has scored the odd goal for us in the last three seasons, it does not make him good enough for a promotion chasing team at this level. When we were playing well in our unbeaten run we had mobility, awareness and decent pace up front, and Cole has none of these attributes. He is not even suited to our style of play.
Dawson's facebook page suggests that the problem he initially was assessed for wasn't major, but the medics found an issue relating to his groin tendon. He's having another scan, which will determine if surgery is required, if so 10-12 weeks out as RLC mentions. Otherwise nearer a month's absence. I think it makes sense for the club to hang fire with posting on the o/s until the definitive position is known.Well spotted, RLC. But it begs the point why this news isn't on the OS.
Terrible news all round. Basically, it means he won't be fit again before the transfer window. Hopefully, we can then sign him. Meanwhile, I think we do need another decent winger anyway.

Fair point, Boz. I broke my own rule of believing what I heard from social media.Dawson's facebook page suggests that the problem he initially was assessed for wasn't major, but the medics found an issue relating to his groin tendon.

I agree with you about the need for a decent winger in his absence.
Bad news.Just an addendum re Dawson,he confirmed today that an operation is needed, so will be out of action for the rest of his loan period.
