Twitter saying Marriott 4-6 weeks out - source pretty reliable.

Might make Xmas fixtures then.

No surprise. Get a player who hasn’t played 90 mins for a year and then he plays every minute for 6 games

He's Graeme Murty in reverse. Murts had been pretty much ever present at York, he got here, joined 1 training session and was promptly out for 6 months.

With Wigan being off; should everyone except Fraser be back for our next game? Obvs don’t know what the story is with Burns or Jacob but the u21 looks full strength now as well.

Be an interesting selection for that game

I think Marriott is out for most of November (on X), but there's been nothing official on that or from any journos.

Out for 4-6 weeks from beginning of November, so likely to be out until the Xmas games start being played.

Am I imagining it or wasn't it subsequently discovered that one of his legs was a slightly different length to the other? Problem solved with a boot insert or something similar?

Isn't Josh Bowen responsible for this department at Reading FC....?

Yes - but I don't think any of the players have been out longer than anticipated apart from maybe O'Conner.

All these muscle injuries/fatigue have been caused at least partly by Hunt's training regime which he admitted himself was intense.

If it was that intense then the argument about Carlisle being fitter than us doesn’t really wash.
.

I believe it's possible to undertake the wrong format of intensive training that will do little to improve overall fitness but lead to an increased risk of injury.

If we are relatively successful til then, with the window opening shortly after, fair chance he won’t be getting back in the side imo if he’s out that long. Definitely in his own interest to get back sooner

Just checking - do you expect Kelvin E and/or MOM to keep a fit Marriott out of the side and then for Couhig to bring in a (better) striker in the January window?

Admittedly we now have a new manager but neither of these things happened earlier in the season so not sure either will happen now

I'm looking forward to welcoming that fantastic new striker who will produce a better strike rate than Marriott has done since he joined and keep him out of the side !

A fit KE yes. And yes a different sort of striker in Jan. LR will undoubtedly have someone in mind, Hunt seemed to have MoM in mind, it just don’t work or

To the other poster - scoring 6 in 8 or whatever is no good if your team doesn’t win when you play. He is prob an occasional starter/sub at this level
