Another TS masterplan farts full in his face! Plenty of cover for the only real goal scorer who could play more than half an hour in the team? Twat!
It's actually worked out perfectly for him, TS prized asset will be fit just in time for the January window... rather than injured in December and not sold.
At least they will not be selling Leaburn in the January transfer window. You would guess that he will take 3 to 6 months to recover from such a serious injury. The club must not rush it. Those who want Kanu. He is not ready for first team football So may be this will force Sandagaard into the transfer or loan market in January. He should be searching now for a good replacement and negotiating soon.
Not the first time we would have sold a young player while they were injured
Stockley can't play up top on his own, it's obvious to everyone, and we don't have the senior players to bring someone in to play with him, bor another striker to take his place. Chuks cant, and wont, start... Not an ideal situation, but I'd roll the dice and play kanu up there with Stockley, he knows where the goal is and stockley is a very good striker in a 2 at this level
Someone needs to play up front with Stockley. Often you can convert temporarily an experienced winger or attacking midfielder (many started life as Strikers anyway), but I don't think we have anyone that fits that bill........

I'm not sure anyone else has said he will be out for that long.
Garner has said probably out for more than a month. Hopefully that doesn't mean three months plus.

50 years ago. Playing rugby I fractured both tibular and fibular. But worst of all I tore every ligament in My ankle. It took 9 months to heal. Today medicine is better which is why I said 3 to 6 months. It cannot have helped that he had to walk off. I have wondered for some time why sports in this country do not have those stretcher carts you see in for example the NFL. Any way hope you are wright and he is back by December.

I managed to break my own leg playing football. Snapped fibula, dislocated tibia and fucked my ligaments up too. This was 30 years ago near enough but I was playing again within 3-4 months so it’s hopefully not horrific
I would guess his idea of match fit is slightly different to mine but that’s another matter! I had one leg like Arnie and one like a sparrow 😀

3 to 6 months to recover? I thought he was out for a month or so?

It's a Charlton injury so time always needs to be added on unfortunately.
Would make it difficult for Garner to continue with 4-4-2 now, unless he plans risking Aneke to start up top
Aneke is not ready for a 90 minutes yet. Slowly bringing him back in minutes wise.
I suspect part of the problem with him getting injured is his lack of game time and resilience from match fitness caused by wrapping him in cotton wool. Play him from the start and see how long he lasts. Him and Stockley up front will mean Pompey won’t be so free to push up.
I know I’ll sound like an old record but this is why resigning Chuks was a mistake. Hardly ever fit and when he is he can’t play for more than 15 to 20 minutes. So now we are in a position whereby 4-4-2 is working for us so we either have to play someone up top who isn’t suited to it or change formation and hope for the best. We all knew we needed another striker option but hey ho Thomas knows best. With three more home games this month we could have really pushed on but instead Leaburn being out a month or so could derail our season.
Signing Chuks was only a mistake because we are relying on him as effectively 3rd choice....if we had 3/4 other fit strikers and it was accepted that he's a last 30 minute man (and let's be fair he's a gamechanger in that respect) then it's a great buy.
the sad fact is, we can't afford to be carrying someone like that
I know others have said this but I think Payne and CBT are the best options to go upfront with Stockley - we lose more by taking JRS away from the wing than we would with CBT or Payne (not a true winger I know) and CBT's pace can still cause plenty of problems from that position.
Gutting, can only see us playing 2 upfront with Blackett Taylor alongside stockley maybe. Don't think Kanu is ready yet unfortunately
Daniel Kanu is 18 next month and can someone explain why he is not ready for a mid table League 1 side squad when he's rated so highly and scored goals for fun so far in his career ? The best natural goal scorer at Cafc.
He isn't small and I assumed he would step up this season around January but we need him as an option now in the 18 man squad.
The catch 22 is he will be gone in a flash if he scores a couple of goals similar to Mason Burstow.
Kanu is nowhere near physically ready for the Men's game imo.
Not saying Kanu is in the class of Owen or Defoe but they played at 17 and as long as you aren't static to be bullied by League 1 CB's he will be fine. Plus play him in a 2 up front with the licence to play either side of Stockley or on the rare occasions when he's fit, Chuks Aneke.
Kanu is not a ridiculous suggestion, my worry is people expecting too much too soon, and if there isn’t an instant success Daniel getting unfairly knocked back. Introduce him gently using the milk in tea method. If you like a beautiful cuppa, you can add a bit more milk to make it golden but you can’t take the milk out if you end up with an insipid watery milky mess.
Bar Kanu is there any other options coming out of the academy that might be around the squad too? I saw Dylan Gavin got injured on loan at Tonbridge and Patrick Casey was on the bench at Colchester in the Papa John's.
So may be this will force Sandagaard into the transfer or loan market in January. He should be searching now for a good replacement and negotiating soon.

Although he lacks experience I'd give JRS a try.
Hope Miles recovers soon.
