best right back weve had since luke young

Wow Bert, that’s some claim, I’m trying to think of other decent right backs since then?

Solly - Richardson - Dijksteel

Solly, mainly.

We have a habit of making early conclusions about players, so I don't want to rate him amongst our all time best RBs just yet after 5 games.

Anyone know why he has M Egbo on the back of his shirt? Do we have another Egbo we don’t know about?

We were told: "Don't put all your Eggbos in one basket".

Still looking good. We are nicely covered at RB now with Egbo / Clare / Chin.

So glad we've moved on our Welsh International legends on.

Wonder if sending Chin on loan to non league for 28 days with recall would now be considered.  I think a food move for a very promising young lad rather than churning out for U23's for the season.

Well, in need of surgery next week following a ruptured quadricep.

Depending on the rupture, if it is complete, that is his season over as he won't be back until the end of May/start of June, maybe at the earliest.

If it is not complete, we might see him again this season.

Really, really disappointing injury and hope he recovers well. A good player. 

Our injury curse strikes again!

gutted, for him as well, thought Eoghans' looked worse

Didn't Garner send Egbo back on the pitch for a passage of play as the sub was readied? He didn't really move but wouldn't have helped 

Not sure what else he could have done? The only thing is Egbo could have come back on and literally just sit down again on the pitch, making the referee stop the game, until things were ready off it. Going back on would have not changed this outcome, a rupture is a rupture whatever way you want to dress it.

The only thing we can hope for is that it is not completely come away from the bone and the surgery is successful.

Speedy recovery, Manny.

Fair enough. I don't think he really moved enough to aggravate anything 

No, you're right, he hardly moved, and I don't think he kicked the ball either. But the injury is the injury regardless.

I am surprised though that he didn't just sit down when he was instructed back on. Although, maybe with the way the referee performed, he would have given a free kick to Ipswich or let the game carry on.

Real shame for him and us, looks a good player.

Means we're very light at the back now, again.

Notice from transfermarkt that he's torn muscle fibre in the past (back in 2015/16)

Is this a possible repeat injury?

Gutted for the guy, must do his head in keep picking up injuries.

I'd play Sess at RB and give Chin a go at LB.
