Having had a great match last night, I was looking forward to seeing Rory start on Saturday, although with DC you never know, but was a little concerned in the last 10 minutes, or so, when he pulled up holding his groin. I
It says volumes for him and his committment, that he was still tackling back, trying to score, or lay on goals for others, even when obviously injured. Even when DC was shouting at him to come off with a couple of minutes to go he struggled on, not wanting to let the team down!
However, I am concerned that it was something bad and although he mouthed "cramp" at DC, I hope it was nothing more, because we need him in the run-up to Chrismas and the New Year. I fully expect him to get more confidence from those two excellent finishes last night and go on a spree like he did at the same time last year, but am concerned that injury (and DC's selection policy!) may stop this. I believe he gives something more to the team than Ellis, who recently has been very lacklustre, although I agree Ellis is the more natural finisher and when he doesn't fall over, is better in the air, Gaffers gives so much more!.

Gaffney is a manager's dream as you know what you get with him. I know people will say it is a minimum but he does put a shift in even when playing badly. You need players like him and Sinclair in the team and when Gaffney's in form like last night, he shows he is much more than just a workhorse. |

P.S I couldn't have been the only one, desperately wanting him to get his hat trick?

He was holding his groin as he"d scored two and he knew somebodys wife was waiting for him.

No news is good news. Hopefully he just had cramp in his inner thigh.

No news is good news. Hopefully he just had cramp in his inner thigh. But we never get news about players who are injured from DC. Next thing you know they're not on the team sheet and you don't know if they're injured or rotated! |

Rory said in his interview that he had cramp - nothing more.

Me too, I like gaffers, he's a unsung hero in our side, the work that he puts in is fantastic and he was rewarded with a brace last night. It did seem like he was never going to score recently especially when he hit the post early on with a open goal and I do hope he can go on a bit of a run now. |

i like gaffney for his industry but also his clever diagonal runs and the way he brings others into the game.
not wanting to knock matt harrold but hes so static and pedestrian compared to gaffney,taylor,easter,harrison and on last nights showing luke james,its another example of the progress we have made since we dropped out of the league.

Felt the same with Harrold, had nothing against him as a person but on the pitch he was too static and conceded too many cheap fouls. I quite often found us boring to watch with him on the pitch. |

It wasn't always Matt Harolds fault, he was relatively good in the air so the easy outlet was to hump the ball up to him. Rory is a more intelligent player who works the channels and brings the other forwards/midfielders into play. he should be one of the first names on the team sheet for Saturday, but we all know DC likes to mix things up  |

Plus, he was forever injured. Tuesday night was typical; half an hour of football, and he looked like he`d been in a fight with a Toyota Land Cruiser. |
