We were led to believe 3 years ago that Solly's Knee injury was the same problem that Ledley king had to endure. This is why i have been amazed at how many games he has played since considering he couldn't train every day. The sad thing is there isn't a cure for this type of wear and tear injury in 2016.
Hang your heads in shame everyone who said he couldn't be bothered to track back against Swindon.
If it wasn't for this injury Solly would never have played below the championship and might even have got a transfer to the Premier on his form 3 or 4 years ago.
Don't let your hatred of Duchatelet and Meire poision your mind on a loyal servant of CAFC.
I'm not hanging my head in shame, if you're not fit enough to play, you should not play.
He chose to say he was match fit and didn't play well.

Sorry mate I don't fully agree with this, players with heart and desire want to play every game which often overrules the brain, that's why I posed the question that some of this blame must be laid at the door of management.
Apparently he had an injection to get him through that Swindon game and he was struggling, so why not sub him after an hour? You don't have to hang your head in shame but let's not forget this player always wants to give his all and the thought of him not being bothered to track back is ridiculous. The mind was willing but the body just was not able!
Can't say I'm too gutted. Been less than average so far this season and and Foley was a breath or fresh air on Saturday, actually attacked the wingers when he was going forward and wasn't aftaid to cut on to the middle and take the football forward. Maybe it's been his injury holding him back all season but I haven't been impressed.

OK Dazzler, just a yellow card for you this time. Solly just loves to play and this has to be managed with the medical team. Kompany is having similar issues at City (different injury) Other players like Sturridge drop out with a broken finger nail.
I'm not sure if Chris have ever been more than 80 % fit for years.

In addition if the player agrees he's not fit then he's dropped and the backup takes his place, if the backup then has a worldy and keep his place when the first choice returns from fitness and so finds himself out of the squad.
Not such an issue at Premier League level where money isnt an issue but for League One and League Two players it probably is as these lads do have to think about mortgages and failure at game time will see them potentially released at the end of their Contract and so a slow decline down through the Divisions.
Grant Basey and Gary Borrowdale are surely two Addicks who are perfect examples of this
How many of us dont feel 100% yet go into work as "I'll be able to soldier through" but at the end of that day (or half way through) realise being there isnt a good idea and that they should take time off.
Same for a player probably thinking that an injection or just being out there means they'll be able to run it off

I'd agree if they were on Pay as you play contracts.
Most pro footballers have a salary, plus an appearance bonus, then a clean sheet/goals/assists bonus based on their positions etc.
Even at league 2 level they probably get a better annual take home than a lot of us on here.
If you start a game and realise you're not able to play because of pain/illness etc by half time you know that you need to ask to be subbed.
No one would look down on a player for being injured and acknowledging it so a more match fit player can take their place.
Gutted for him. Without a shadow of a doubt my favourite player since the days of Rufus et al. All the injuries he has gone through since being a youth player yet he is the one player in our squad who never shirks a tackle. Constantly amazes me the way he will (entirely fairly) crunch through a tackle after just coming back from injury. Truly a gutsy, one team player with more talent than people give him credit for too. Never seen him give less than 100%, never seen him hide.
People on here talk of the likes of Jacko as a legend, to me he is/was a decent player who gave/gives his all and liked social media whilst passing through at the club.
Solly is in a different level, a team of (fit) Chris Sollys would see us very much ensconced in the PL and would fulfil all of Viewfinders meandering so in his posts!
Good luck with the recovery, hope you come back stronger and look forward to that first crunching tackle.
I don't think Solly has been fully fit for quite a while now. The Solly before his knee problems would have stood out a mile above the mediocrity of this division, but sadly he's not at those levels now.
Iirc Solly has very little cartalidge left in either one or both knees. He plays in discomfort/pain, as he has bone grinding on bone. He hasn't been 100% fit for years & he never will be.
Lately he's had injections in order to start. They possibly haven't said when he'll return, because they can't.
He'll have to have extended time out until the knee allows him to play again & that COULD be sometime never.
There's no operation available to aid him, it's just rest really.

I may be mis-remembering, but wasn't King's problem that the cartilage in his knees were basically worn out, and he'd developed arthritis in the joints as a result? Do you remember where you read that assessment of his knee?
In my opinion, nowhere near ready. I don't even think he's ready to go out on loan. His positioning has been a weakness for the U23s and he will get caught out in this league very quickly.

Get well soon Chris, your and Jacko's passion and commitment are pretty much the only things I still love about our club.
