Heard he landed awkwardly on his knee and was stretchered off. DC said it's serious. I really hope not, due to see the physio who will give us a decision. Such a shame, according to DC said he was in tears at half-time. I really hope he has only jarred or strained his knee like Easter and would be out for 3 weeks would be the best scenario. Would be a loss but still think we have enough quality for the remainder of the season!

agree. would be a sickening blow if he misses the rest of the season....but.... we've won 5/5 without him and I also believe with Ollie Clarke and Easter to come back we will has enough to choose from. if Sinclair has done his ACL then best wishes for a speedy recovery. great player 1st name on the team sheet every week.

Massive disappointment for him and us. Let's hope it's not as bad as is feared. He is the talisman for the club, really epitomizes the attitude of the new Rovers. Speedy recovery Beard!

Get well soon Stuey, you're everything we want from a Rovers player , it's been a pleasure to watch you this season and we wouldn't be top of the league without you.

If he landed awkwardly and twisted his knee, then it might "just" be a cartilage tear. If it is that then a fit player with good muscle condition, given a quick diagnosis and operation, he could be back within 4 or 5 weeks.

Even so by then our fate will surely be decided? Although his return would give us a timely boost if we did finish in the Play Offs.
Having said that Lockyer quite clearly deserves some praise for slotting into his position so successfully.

SS would still be my player of the year even if he didnt play another minute this seaason although Tom Parks is a close second. We really need him back to strengthen our promotion push. He epitomises the character and grit of this team. Freak injury if its a bad one. It looks like he fell heavily but didnt seem to have any weight on the leg he injured so hopefully its not an ACL.
With Mansell on 9 yellow cards so one booking from another suspension our midfield will be severely weakened without both of them in the middle. I just hope Mansell's imminent suspension means he doesnt miss Macclesfield or Halifax, our two toughest remaining games after next week.

Clarke seems to suggest Sinclair may have suffered a bad injury, which will be a massive problem if he is out for the next few weeks. Hopefully Rovers can bring in some cover.

Just watched the incident on the highlights thread. It looks like a pretty innocuous fall, albeit from about shoulder height, and he just bashes his knee on the ground. Hopefully therefore it's just a bash or a jarring - no twist that I could see to injure ligaments or cartilage.

just seen it on the highlights and you can see by the way he fell that he's opened up his knee joint and depending how his knee popped back in depends on the extent!? I'm saying he's jarred it and possibly pinched the medial ligament 6-8 weeks recovery

Was Wakefield's anything serious though?
Not sure where we're getting he's a big loss from when we've just won 5 on the bounce and he was pretty poor yesterday, it would have been good to have him back fit but we've showed we can cope without him so far. It's a mystery why we lose so many players to knee injuries!
If he is out for the season you do have to wonder if we need to spend more money to get in an experienced midfielder on loan, depending on what Wakefield can offer.

Top aspect of our game this season is our team effort, someone else always steps in and does a job. Get well SS.

Completely agree that we are in great form without him. Have to admit we've been much better this season with injuries than previous years?

We lack an attacking midfield option without Stu - which is more telling at home than away.

Wakefield is supposed to be an attacking midfielder? There's little point in having another one sat on the bench?
