Ricardo Fuller set to be out for between 2-3 weeks with his hamstring injury

When is Haynes due back from his hamstring injury?

Already, but he was so happy he did a little dance and ripped the bloody thing again. True story.

3 strikers out injured at the moment , do we need to bring another in?

No. We need our midfielders to pass the ball to the 1's we already have

Be surprissed if he comes back this quickly? You really cannot rush a player back with a Hamstring tear, well you can and be out for even a longer time? . I appreciate that pro's have access to regular physio, and recovery, but I would have thought it is more likely 6 weeks or so. Still we can only see and wait. Hulse needs to take his chance, even if it means only 60 minutes.......then change things around.

Doesn't it depend if it's really snapped? Sometimes it isn't.

Bloody bad luck though; Fuller, Kermorgant, Wiggins, Haynes -those are four good Championship players, then there's Matt Taylor too, who's still a valuable player. I heard Kermorgant out for the full three months, Wiggins maybe a bit less. But still a major challenge for any manager so early in the season.

haynes is not a good championship player imo

You may be right, haven't seen him enough. Still too bad he's injured when our two best strikers (in terms of pedigree) are now also crocked, and BWP seems to be struggling.

Might get another striker in on loan for a month.

Saw £7million Xisco got a hat trick for newcastle reserves tonight, he's not going to be doing anything on tyneside anytime soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he a Jiminez signing when he was "head of player recruitment?"
