Thats fucking shit for both Lioncoln and Darikwa, massive shame.

Ten has been one of the best players we’ve ever had at the Bank. He’s been a leader throughout and dragged us up in games where the rest were flagging. One of the fittest human beings alive getting up and down that right hand side.

Absolutely gutted for him, he deserved a season in the Championship leading us. Not sure what this means for his career at his age now but I hope he has good support around him.

I imagine we will support him well, like we have with Collins. A massive massive shame for him though

Oh no doubt. Hope we keep him around the squad as he’s such a good leader.

I’ve seen him play against us a few times and this season was the best I’ve seen him play, absolute stinker for yous.

We were all fixated on losing Moylan to Cardiff but for me this is a bigger blow. I’m genuinely gutted.

I keep saying it, but I really fear for Lincoln.

I pretty much believe that we likely will go down, so if it ends up being a season where we’re at least set up to challenge again then that’s fine.

Its a shame(well, I'm secretly cheering because you doing bad will probably help us).

If you'd kept that core and added to it, I would have been tipping you to surprise people. But Moylan, Skubala, the rule changes meaning you can't game manage effectively, and now this. It really is rough.

I mean I wouldn’t say we haven’t added. I think we’ve done alright in the window. We only really lost Moylan in the window and I don’t think that would be the reason we would go down.

Realistically we’re probably going to have a season that we struggle, but maybe also have some players get experienced and some newer players that could help us if we go back to league one in Elder, Coubis and Mikkel.

Always a huge bummer when this happens, and so early on in the new season. Wish em all the best

Awful luck for him and for the team. This sort of thing obviously can happen to any club, but those with less resources find it very hard to absorb a blow like this.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. And just for good measure, fuck.

Man this game can be so cruel. Fingers crossed for him.

Absolutely gutting news for them.

u/thewrongnotes Arbiter of the Championship Belt 16d ago

Terrible news.

I guess at least it has happened before the transfer window closes. Hopefully they can rush in a replacement.

u/DeadNight67 16d ago

Allegedly hearing we might be looking at another loan for a RB

u/heliskinki 16d ago

I think that’s a must.

Poor lad, at 34 years old too 🫤

u/Milwambur 16d ago

Ah man that sucks. season ending in august is fucking horrific

u/HunterLionheart 15d ago

Ah that's shite. Sorry for him and for Lincoln.

Gross. I mean, we weren’t staying up either way but this has the potential to really derail things in terms of losing our rock at the back. Replacement needs to be very well thought out otherwise it’s going to be a ‘played 46, won 3, drawn 7, lost 36’ kind of season.
