If this link doesn't work can one of the mods fix it please? Mucho gracias

Would be very unlucky if he was out for rest of the season. It was a straight knock with no twisting or stretching of the knee so you would hope that the worst would be some heavy bruising.

If he is out for the season that will be a hammer blow

IMO he's our most experienced centre back we have Tokely but he's not played centre back his whole career like Hogg so I feel Hogg is needed now more than ever

Looks like we will have to look for another centre back in January no matter what the injury is though

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Wonder if Grant Munro would consider coming back ?

According to his twitter, Hogg will be getting a scan on the knee on Monday.

Mmmm - should that not have been considered pre season especially as Hogg only came back a calling as he couldnt find anywhere else ?

Probably but I think butcher opted to strengthen the midfield and attack instead to try and replace the goals Rooney provided

There's all sorts of ifs and buts surrounding our squad but I feel we've been horribly unlucky with injurys suspensions etc

[starchief]

Centre-backs are Tokely, Hogg (injured most of the season), Jones (injured most of the season), Proctor (injured most of the season), Meekings (injured) and Golobart. Very unlucky with injuries. We don't have the money for even our present squad, never mind some first team player to sit on the bench in case there's an injury.

[Renegade]

Tudur Jones has never played at centre-back as far as I'm aware.

[AJS]

Renegade is correct, OT Jones played holding role in midfield for 3 games before getting crocked.

[starchief]

Not here but he's a holding midfielder that can switch to central defence. That's what he was billed as when he arrived.

Perhaps if we had a management change......otherwise no.

[CaleyD]

And perhaps if some people stopped playing the blame game (and I don't just mean fans) and concentrated more on what can be done to change/improve things instead of looking to the past then we might start getting somewhere.

What I was alluding to was the fact that this "mess" eminated from last season and a total lack of foresight in the pre season. The other problem is that terry projects the blame on to anything that is a reasonable reaction.

The transfer window is the place to start but we could have been in that position months ago. But - YES - we are fortunate that we are still in touch but we need to pull together some consistency over the Festive period.

[+Fraz]

If the people who have the power to change things can admit to to themselves and others that they have made mistakes both now and in the past then perhaps we could learn from these, move on and make improvements. However some people don't seem to be able to do that (call it ego, arrogance or whatever). Can't see us having much cash to splash in the transfer window, so what's to be done?

amen

[hislopsoffsideagain]

Since Hogg has just tweeted 'devastated isn't the word!!!!!!!' I assume the news about his knee is bad.

Gutted

[starchief]

Proctor and Golobart it is then

The critical thing for Chris is that he gets the necessary treatment and recovers.

This has indeed been a disaster in terms of injuries and some genuine bad luck. Looking on the bright side, if any team can get out of it, it is Inverness Caledonian Thistle UNITED.

Meekings is a CB. He has played at right back last month but was bought as a CB.

Doesn't sound good at all!

[Scotty]

The club has not yet released a statement, we will let you know as soon as it is up on the official site.

Agree that it does not sound good.
