Why change the lineup if we have a capable winger in the squad?

not good for the lad, but breaks are often better news than ligament damage in terms of the healing process. suppose it all depends on the nature of the break

Ben jones bishop is available on loan ?........ (well maybe only to wakey)

Anybody know how long Crookes is out for?

Heard from a kr fan Jones bishop has signed for them for a month along with adi Gardner

Can't see Wakey taking him now that they've signed Riley for the month.

Given the relationship between AP and Hetherington I cant see Leeds loaning us anyone. We signed Colbon for exactly this sort of eventuality so I expect him to play.

Colburn played for Donny today along with starling

Good win at Batley.

Starling is a Doncaster player, Colborn not match fit , he did ok but nothing special.

I think even with a broken leg lineham is faster than Colbon.

You're probably right. Amazingly he won't be the slowest winger in the league.

BTW if anyone posts the Xray pic Lineham put on Twitter, there will be bans!

Good to see no SOFT tissue damage at least.

He made me laugh with that.

never rated colbon, very average. Surely move crooks to wing and Arundel or whiting to centre !!

But obviously Radders does, brought in as wing cover so if he proves his fitness this week (after his run out at Donny) I would expect him to play at Cas, If he is not fit enough yet then Radders may go as you suggest.

Feel so sorry for Tom. Second break in 2 years plus his ligament injury from the end of last season. All the best to him for a speedy recovery

Since 2010 think he's had this injury
Last year's ankle
Last year wrist
Ankle injury year before
And I remember he had a delayed debut due to a few months out with a shoulder injury. Also just prior to joining us had a knee op, not sure but seem to remember a broken thumb amongst it all from the under 20s!

Bit worrying when you add it all together for a young lad. Either he's gonna miss more, find a lucky streak or have to change his style of play!
Potentially we have one of the most exciting players in the league but missed games are racking up

Haha

The lad's got a great sense of humour, especially in a time like this.

The general consensus from his appearance for Donny at Batley is, he wasn't fit enough, confident enough or good enough. Certainly the worst of the 4 three quarters

In all fairness that's how he's always looked!

With Lineham out for 12 weeks Colbon is only going to get fit / confident / good enough by playing. He is going to be the cover we use for Lineham so expect him to be playing on Sunday.

Get well soon Tom, the 12 week absence / clean break was the best possible outcome, ligament damage could have taken much longer....
