Ruptured ACL and out for the season.
Really gutted for him, hope he makes a decent recovery.

Oof. That is a real shame, for him & us. Poor lad. Long road back that one but we seem to be pretty sensitive to the mental and emotional side of things when it comes to long-term injuries here, so I'm sure he'll get all help & support he needs.
Imagine we'll look to bring a loanee in in Jan, but now a massive opportunity for Simper & Worman. And let's hope Digby stays fit...

Dreadful news and I feel so sorry for Adam. Hope he gets through this as quickly as he can, but it is not an injury to rush given how important it is to recover from properly.
I wrecked my MCL (Medial, on the inside of the knee) last December when I did nothing more than slip on a kerbstone leaving the Valley after our game at Charlton. I’m still getting grief from it now and am not ready to even kick a ball in the park with my son. I’m much older and fatter than Adam so it will take me longer to repair but it goes to show that knee ligament injuries are really problematic.

This was the injury from a naughty tackle at Ipshit after they were 3-0 wasn't it? Not that we needed any more reason to think less of them but it's fuel for the fire

It was. Don't think it was a malicious one, just overenthusiastic, but it was a bad challenge & a horrible outcome for Adam.

Shite. Nobody in football wants to hear those 3 letters.
If it’s some sort of positive ACLs ain’t the career ender they used to be. Confident he’ll be looked after as ElG says.
Thankfully Simper is mustard. Worman is around and McConnell is a lovely footballer too, if it came to it.

I thought it was the Bristol Rovers game after that? He went off after about 60 minutes..

Clearly expunged everything about the Bristol game from my head.

Think it was Lanks who took the dodgy Ipswich tackle.
Devastated for May, but confident the club can and will support him through this. And hopefully Greg can offer something in the way of ongoing support here having just been through a season out.. We’ll miss you, Ads!

That’s a big loss. Simper is developing nicely and it is a big opportunity for him to step up but I do wonder if we’ll get someone in on loan in January. Long way away though.

Awful for Adam. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Deciding not to bolster midfield in the summer has proven to workout great for us. Absolute rubbish show. Was obvious to most that we lacked numbers.

Devastating news, chance for the youngsters to step up yes but a real blow for Adam. Gutted for him and here's hoping he makes a solid recovery.
