[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 , 🙈 Of course it is. 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. Last season MK Dons had done extensive research on the strengths and weaknesses of our players, I have seen copies of the documents left in the dressing room. Any slight edge we may or may not have is worth keeping under wraps just to confuse the opposition. I don't wish to know the nitty gritty and daily minutiae of Darrel and Marcus's squad; I just like to see them preform to the best of their ability.

Why the surprise? DC has always played injuries this way and I doubt he’ll change. He never says and istr that last season when Hartley was injured and he posted on Facebook that he would be out for a time DC was angry about that. DC likes to get every advantage from a disadvantaged position. Why tell the opposition our leading player is injured? Far better to keep them guessing. I suspect that had we won the last three matches instead of people asking why he does it this way they would have been calling him a tactical genius! UTG!

It would be nice to know , I don't think it will be make any difference whatsoever and they could put a ball park figure on his recovery time which means it's still up in he air as far as the opposition are concerned but also then let's us the paying fans and wage contributors know the score to its severity, we will have to agree to disagree on this one fella.

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 is and has been doing which has led to our success is all of a sudden "wrong", get a grip man! Calm down who's saying DC hasn't a clue? If keeping injury info a secret was such a big deal why do we seem to be the only club doing it? I'd imagine most of our opponents can work out how long BB will be out, I doubt they couldn't careless about JC or Burn, so it's really only us kept in the dark. Although I'm not going to get wound up about it.

But we didn't win our last 3 games , Bodin didn't play and D.C.s tactical genius abilities are called into question

So you are criticising DC over something that might gain us a 5% advantage, it might not but it certainly won't give us a disadvantage so why not carry on withholding injury news. I very much doubt the opposition can pinpoint the exact game Bodin will return. A lot of managers don't like to disclose team info right up until the last minute as common sense tells you that would be a stupid thing to do.
