Surprised no Charlton fan has replied to his post from the game, trying to be a cool dude. Then again it was a goal kick and no foul, as the proof in number of weeks out shows.
You just know there is gonna be an October announcement that the injury hasn’t healed as they would have hoped so going to have an operation and be out till January.
It was a poor challenge and was a reaction to being mugged off by Leaburn's skill. I can understand that. It would be good to see an apology though. It might be worth knocking this friendly on the head despite the tradition if they are recklessly going to injure our players. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have the game next pre season.

I'd probably use your energy to support Miles, than predicting the future!

Wouldn't be surprised if we sent an Under 23s side or something to games like this in the future.
The issue could be a larger one for Welling, we know they rely quite a lot on the income from this game, if their players are going to throw challenges in like this one in the first pre-season game then I can see Charlton pulling out of the arrangement next year. We all understand injuries can happen etc, but that tackle was really naughty.
All we wanted was to get 45 minutes into Miles Leaburn's legs and normal service is resumed for injuries. Kanu could be involved more and another forward coming in on loan. A wide/central versatile forward would be best so we can adapt to whatever formation is used. Alfie May will be central judging by his goals for Cheltenham.
And Ronnie told us it’s not serious if you can walk on it 😏.
When I was in my early 20s, I broke a bone in my foot and walked (well, limped) the quarter of a mile back to the car. Thought I'd just sprained it so didn't bother going to A&E, so only found out I'd broken a couple of years later when I had to have it x-rayed after another accident. Poor Miles, I hope it's just a minor sprain, and he won't be out too long.

I did something similar when I took a knee to the quad playing football. Thought it was a dead leg that just happened to last six weeks. Years later when I got an x-ray on my knee (another footy injury) I found out I had a chunk of bone just floating off of my femur.

Good post but I'd describe it as being reckless/twatty rather than naughty.

That’s surprisingly common and can be seen on a later x-ray as you get bone overgrowth around the earlier fracture. The risk is obviously if the two halves of bone become detached then they will either heal misaligned or will need to be surgically put back together. I’m sure the extent of Miles’ injury will be fully known by now by the medical team and he will make a full recovery. The question is how long it will take. I hope it is a minor sprain like you, but I also hope he is not rushed back if there is more to it.
I believe the air boot was coming off some time last week. Last I heard they believed the injury wasn't as bad as initially feared
It's partucularly gutting as he returned from his summer holiday a bit early to work on his fitness ahead of pre season
Stuff this “traditional” Welling friendly. It’s not the first time in that fixture some no-mark has injured one of our players. Some fans might like the fixture but it’s too high price to pay if Welling can’t get their players to show the appropriate level of restraint for a friendly.

Guessing Phil Parkinson would agree with that, PA.

In fairness a player could get injured in any friendly no matter the opposition, and could just as easily (yes Chuks i'm looking at you) get injured in training.

There would, I imagine, be crystal clear agreements prior to any match taking place next year. Risking a player in a pre-season friendly is not acceptible.

I really hope it's just a sprain for Miles.
Sounds like Mullin got chopped in a friendly too...
