Anyone know how long he's out for?

Month - him and Raymond.

Be down by then, why we signed yet another injury prone player is another mystery. Has Hines been put down yet?

I think Zav should get ten minutes in the last game at Bristol, put him in the shop window along with McClure and guttridge, we may get 40 bensons and a lucky dip on the lotto.

Guttridge will be here next season as the muppets allowed him an 18 month deal. He would be an asset in the Vanarama but he won't be fit often enough.

Was sat in the stand with his kids today which was nice. Wish he had been out on the pitch though!!!

Not impressed with him in the game I see him play in.As anonymous as Richards and McClure...and that is anonymous !

Thought Richards was good today for a bloke who isn't fully match fit. Set pieces were a danger. Gutteridge was good second half v Wycombe. Not convinced by McClure.

Richards was okay, at least he looked to go forward and got in the box once.
One of our biggest problems is that no one in midfield gets up to support.
Hawkins won so many headers and so many went where a team mate should have been but wasn't.

That corner he blasted too long first half obviously very forgettable.Who took the one that the defender casually booted up field 2nd half ?

Christ Arnu, he took about 10-12 set pieces, most of which were well delivered into decent areas, you pick on 2 that were not. conpare to the crap delivery of those who took over set pieces when he went off.

Set pieces were decent. Thought he was poor in open play and would've taken him off at ht after the switch to 442. Wouldn't have brought Jones on though.

Bottom line though I don't think it matters which 11 we pick. Most of this lot are useless. Distribution from the back is atrocious and the forwards aren't going to get you any goals. Too many of the midfield don't get into the right areas offensively or defensively.

In nearly 6 seasons Guttridge has made just over 120 appearances. For a 34 year old midfielder the chances of him playing a full season are at best minimal with that track record. Not a bad player, but definitely one not to be relied upon, considering Labadie won't be with us next season.

Exactly this for a club who moan about lack of budget we make some bizarre signings knowing full well some of these players are made of glass. Hines and Richards aware prime examples of that this season and Guttridge is the icing on the cake. Probably sign Jack Wiltshire in the summer.

Richards played 48, 45, 49 and 50 games respectively in the last four seasons, so hardly made of glass.
