In the Exeter game - end of April. [/quote
I love how very well they've done last season and I have every confidence they can contunue this enjoyable journey, but that was our management team's biggest failing this season imo. The way he was left to play on for probably 15/20 minutes despite being (a) clearly injured and likely making it worse, and (b) a complete liability in a footballing sense as he was barely able to move. Seemingly while they dithered over Harriman vs Mills and whether to play 4 or 5 at the back. Pretty poor and you have to wonder whether that lack of action ruled him out of the playoffs and turned a small injury into one that ultimately needed surgery.]

Why wasn't the operation done earlier? He's been injured since the end of April? Clearly they were given some wrong advice by some medics Certainly bad news for us Covid and backlog of hospitals waiting lists. If a footballer was given preference over a Northampton OAP/disadvantaged person there will be letters to the Chron!

The injury and operation is bad enough - the fact that he’ll not have done a pre season is equally bad.

Ever heard of private medical procedures? As for letters to the Chron.. Sometimes I dont know wether you are being serious or not.

He should’ve been subbed after 5 minutes when he was clearly injured, however, was allowed to continue playing for a further 20 minutes which may have contributed to a more severe injury. Several spectators were screaming for him to be taken off.

What? Footballers don't go on hospital waiting lists, they would probably have it done privately under some medical insurance policy. I think they received some (bad) advice that it may not need surgery, but sadly it does.

To be honest I sometimes feel that you and Zen for that matter live an assumed life style oblivious to the reality of the NHS and Waiting Lists. In January 2021 and reacting to Public/Gov pressure the NHS began to shift the most urgent Surgery cases to Private Health Care. However I agree with both comments ref letters to the Chron. One thing to remember waiting lists (incl Private) vary in different parts of the country.

They're private you oddball During the Pandemic when it became obvious that a serious situation was developing the Gov coerced some Private Clinics/Health Care Units to take patients in an attempt to free up beds. Also this was also tried on Retirement homes with disastrous results. However the Private sector appeared to cope well with the situation. Did you not know this?

Is this transfer related or aimed at getting some attention?

Whilst I might disagree with Evers on lots of things but on this I agree - the vast majority of elected surgery on professional sportsmen and women is done privately - but there is only so much resource be it NHS or Private and if a lot of NHS cases were shifted to private providers then defacto some non urgent surgery is likely to be delayed - having said that no one knows the full medical history on McGowan - he may have been progressing ok without surgery and things took a turn for the worse. Bottom line is that it's bad news and we definitely need cover there (Incidentally the health care insurance and direct health care bills for football clubs are not trivial and just another aspect to consider for those individuals who think they can run the club's finances on the back of a fag packet or know better than the owners about the true cost of ownership)

Dominic Revan was ok at right back when we had him on loan from Aston Villa last season and he has been released and looking for a club.

Having your first choice right back injured during pre season isn’t ideal but it’s not the end of the world. Don’t get me wrong he is a steady Div 2 player but I look and to be fair right backs are two a penny. Having the likes of Mitch P or your main centre forward missing would be major blow to me. Mc Williams can always fill in at right back so it’s not all back. Obviously if we sign cover then great but to say he is a massive loss or seeing Hosfall the departure is silly talk.

That’s a good shout, wasn’t he a bit injury prone? ……

Clearly they were given some wrong advice by some medics Certainly bad news for us Has it been disclosed anywhere when the operation actually took place? It might have been done in May, with a four to six month rehab period? Maybe the extent of this injury, and subsequent communication of the operation was being kept quiet whilst ongoing negotiations with new RB signings was being carried out? Public knowledge of our urgent need for a RB will undoubtedly be music to agents ears.

Having been recently spent nearly three months in hospital, I would like to think that I am well versed to the reality of the NHS. Anyway, whats the matter with you? Had your hip replacement cancelled? Now be a good boy, and try not to make yourself look foolish again.
