It does annoy me a little with the lack of information regarding injured players. Obviously the management have their reasons for not disclosing such information.

His contract is up in May - IMO we will cash out in January - the only hope is there are at least two clubs really interested in buying him. If Cardiff are interested why would he want to turn down a move there - probably triple his wages - possibly play in the Premiership next season and enhance his ambitions greatly to play for Wales.- good luck to the guy.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him playing some sort of part on Saturday..

Imagine the meltdown if people knew we were without him for that long given that we can't bring anyone in

It's not just about Bodin. Burn and James Clarke are out - do other clubs really care if they're injured or how long they're likely to be out - not one iota I would suggest. Some of our supporters may be genuinely interested though.

More than likely some will have a meltdown and declare us doomed and thata Dam boring enough as it is

I guess we have offered an improved contract already and if BB does not want to sign then I guess it makes sense to accept a good offer if it comes along but so often these offers come in the last days of the transfer window giving little time to re-invest the fee.
Unfortunately that's life in lower league football and we can't force players to sign contract extensions. I think I remember Rickie Lambert signed contract extensions to ensure we got a fee but those days have gone I suspect.

Some of our supporters may be genuinely interested though. If the club say a player is out for X amount of weeks and isn't back on time, the fans will have a meltdown asking questions about our medical staff. If other clubs aren't aware of how long a player is out for, they will need to do their homework on all players. As Bodin is our most dangerous player, even if he's been out injured they will have to prepare for him to be involved as the club haven't announced a return date.

Most clubs seem to be happy to give the fans updates on players' injuries and I think DC is needlessly cagey on this and overstates the advantage this might give the opposition. Clearly you don't have to give exact dates but it would do no harm for example to say 'we hope to see Billy return to training in 4 to 6 weeks'. Would also be good to hear an update on James Clark who I think was due an operation but who knows?

Even if he said 4 to 6 weeks the opposition will not have to look into him, were as this way they won't know if he's available for the weekend, so will be unsure he they will be playing against. After all why do I need to know? I would rather not know, if it meant given the opposition an advantage, no matter how small.

You've been told. Somewhere between 4-8 weeks from the time of the injury. No you have the information, what are you going to do with it?

What if it's not good news? We support the players and the team, who ever is playing. So why do you need to know? Give the other team an advantage and make there work easier, just to put your mind at ease lol. I doubt he will be back before Scunthorpe at the earliest anyway, but the other teams before then will have to look into him, incase he is playing.

Wonder if he can let us know the starting 11 a few days before and how we are going to set up as well lol

We've just lost 3 on the bounce, I guess we couldn't have done much worse if our last 3 opponents knew BB wasn't going to play beforehand? We're probably the only club in the country who doesn't update their fans with injury details.

What about the near 200 games DC has been doing this for us before and won 2 promotions and our highest finish in years. We lose 3 games and all of a sudden DC doesn't have a clue and everything he is doing and has been doing which has led to our success is all of a sudden "wrong", get a grip man!

[br He has a hamstring injury unless of course he's since broke his leg because that's the only 'not good news' unlikely. Not sure that saying that Bodin will be back in 4-6 weeks is any advantage to the opposition whatsoever, think some of you on here need a reality check , 🙈

A hamstring injury can be anything from a week, to 6 months plus depending on the grade and severity of the tear. Obviously if Mk Dons know if he's playing or not, will effect how they prepare for the game. It will make there job easier if they know he's still out for 2-4 weeks for example. Do you know how much work goes into researching the opposition now a days. How much planning goes into games etc. It will obviously make a difference. It won't make any difference to us fans though, just because we know.

We're probably the only club in the country who doesn't update their fans with injury details. Â 2 of the games could have gone either way. We might not have been in them if they new before hand. We are taking about small advantages here. They can prepare there left back easier, if they have a better idea, who he is up against. When they are up against players like Bodin, they will show him videos of his strengths, talk about what he likes to do, try and think of ways of stopping it etc. If they know he's not playing, they can concentrate on how he's going to help going forward, as we don't have a lot else on the wings lol. It will make there preparation easier, as they will have less players to research, less players to look into. The days of turning up and just playing are gone.
