Jacob has a knee injury.

Burns has the same injury as Fraser - an undefined knock likely to keep him out for an undefined period.

With Burns, it's bound to be a knee or elbow issue, seeing as that's 85% of his anatomy.

Should keep them out until about January I'd guess...

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

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

He scores at that rate and yet it's his fault his team doesn't win??!!

KE has had about one game where he has played really well and worked hard. His fitness levels are questionable and I suspect he is one of those that LR was referring to when he complained about lack of fitness at this stage of the season. Nor does he have a natural strikers instincts in the way that Marriott does. He can do a job for us but IMO it's not as a main/central striker.

+1 he's completely ineffectual in games outside of his goals, most of which have been opportunistic tap in's . He doesn't work the channels or press the oppositions defense, he cant hold the ball up, or play with his back to goal. He's very much a sub striker who feeds off scraps in the box. Not someone who can lead the line for us. If MoM scores a few to get his season going i see him as a much more suitable striker for the second half of the season than Marriott. If kelvin plays like he did against Stevenage then there is no way Marriott starts ahead of him.

We must have been watching a completely different player then. Some of those accusations are nonsensical based on what I've seen of him. And, unlike KE at least he gets in the right position (not unlike Jamie Cureton) to grab those opportunistic tap ins.
