Rather a mysterious article. No mention of the nature or cause of his injury.

Doesn't look good for the lad. I hope it's not another ACL or he could become a long term sick note. Best of luck to him.

Blackburn Rovers' worst fears over Rankin-Costello injury confirmed

The versatile player went off against Norwich City with a serious injury.

12 weeks FFS. Why? According to our regular moaning Minnie JDT it is because the players have to travel by coach to and from games rather than hop a plane to South Wales, the South coast or Norwich.

Goodness me our Manager is becoming a right bore.

I think JDT is entitled to moan personally. Last season he got a mid-table wage bill squad to missing out on the play-offs on goal difference, was linked to a number of clubs significantly bigger than Rovers over the summer, and then wasn't backed at all by the owners.

So he now has a fair bit weaker squad than last season and is having to mostly rely on kids, who tend to be injury prone when they need to be played every few days.

I appreciate Venkys position, the Rovers fanbase generates very little revenue so any credible play-off attempt will result in them losing another £10-15m. But if they don't back JDT in January he'll definitely be off in the summer.

'Twas ever thus.... except for when Jack was subbing the clubs supporters.

Haven’t Venky’s just released some more funds? Is it £11million?

Venky's awarded High Court order to release £11m in funding to Rovers

The news comes as a boost for Rovers following a difficult spell off the field caused by changes to Indian tax laws.

Bugger! As I feared it's ligament damage with Dolan and we are looking at him being out until February.

Any updates on Carter and Pickering?

Carter out for 3 months and Pickering for 5 weeks.

 

[Drog]

Hammy for Pickering but what did Carter do?

Siggy out for the rest of the season.Will we miss his crunching tackles and tracking back?

 

[Drog]

What's the matter with him?

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

What's the matter with him?

Broke a finger nail I believe.

Buckley now injured

 

[Drog]

Be interesting to reckon up how many injuries are down to training and how many are down to actually playing. Brockhall seems a bloody dangerous place to be.

 

[tonygreenbank]

I think Brockhall is cursed. The list of injuries caused there goes back to Jack Walker days.
The demons of the mentally ill patients have come back to haunt us!

 

[Drog]

A sketchy report but it seems Scott Wharton could even miss the start of next season, wherever we are.
