OMG, some really bad news, our top defender out for a month (or longer)
Key Maidstone United defender Jamie Coyle is set to be out for at least a month.
Player-coach Coyle suffered a knee injury during the first half of United's 2-1 defeat at Havant on Saturday.
He hoped to be back in a couple of weeks but physio Paul Smith confirmed medial ligament damage was worse than feared at training on Tuesday night.
Maidstone manager Jay Saunders said: "Coyley's not good to be honest.
"Smudge looked at it and we're talking a minimum of four weeks - if we're lucky.
"I think we're looking at longer. He just made a block tackle and opened up his medial ligaments, similar to Alex Brown earlier in the season.
"He's going to be a big loss. I'm gutted. We'll miss his leadership and experience at the back but Callum Davies and Manny Parry have the shirts now and it's up to them to step up."
Maidstone will wait for the swelling on Coyle's knee to go down before deciding whether to bring in another centre-half.
Saunders said: "We'll stay as we are for now but we haven't got much defensive cover.
"We'll leave it a week to see how the swelling's died down and if it looks like he's going to be out long-term we'll have to look at getting someone in."

It's a huge worry, Manny is very talented but lacking experience. Hopefully Rodgo and Healy can provide a bit of leadership outfield to assist Worgs.

Well i never know with some people on this forum  We still have some people who generally believe we dont have a goal scoring problem....even though the stats back it up & Mr Saunders even stated it |

We're in 3rd place.
We win more than we lose.
I fail to see how we can achieve any of this with a goalscoring problem.
Heal soon Jamie.

I know he's scored a couple but is Jamie our top scorer?

Unlikely, but I think he's scored more league goals than Banya, Birchall and Boddies put together

Time to bed in? He's only got to kick a ball in a net! |
