I would be very grateful if someone could post an update on how Richie is progressing. Sorry if I have missed anything since, but the last update I was aware of was Charles B's post on 13 August which said he would be fit again in "about 3 weeks".

Nick Ross has been fantastic - but I think we are all waiting in anticipation of the captain's return!

So - any training news?

Matchday program on Wednesday has him saying he will hopefully be starting full training soon so another couple of weeks maybe.

I'm hoping we'll see Ritchie on the bench this week, does anyone know how he's getting on in training? And how Gil is fairing too?

Blimen heck, don't all post once, I have been waiting in anticipation of a repsonse here, any takers?

looky here

yeah i seen him at the stadium this morning just before the players left for training

Good stuff Nodders, hope he does make the bench on Sat, wouldn't bet against it?

Cheers for the link Nod, I very rarely go there now but on this occasion they were more up to date than CTO.

Canny wait til the boy is back on the pitch!

I've missed him.

Great news, looking forward to seeing how Gil gets on after he recovers but we really need our skipper back!

Heard last night, from a chat with Coxy, that Richie is back at training this week. So it will be a couple of more weeks before he hits the pitch, a bit longer than we thought.

See post #5

Better that he comes back and stays fit rather than rushing back and breaking down again.
