Pearson setback for Rams

Tue, 29 Sep 19:40:21 2009

Derby midfielder Stephen Pearson faces at least a month on the sidelines after suffering a slight groin muscle tear.

The Scotland international had featured in all nine of the league and cup games this season before sitting out Saturday`s home Championship victory over Bristol City.

Pearson injured his groin in training at the end of last week and scans have revealed the 26-year-old has a tear.

Boss Nigel Clough said: "It looks like Stephen will be out for four weeks."

  2. first off ..dont get me wrong ..love cloughie , think­ he is def. man for the job ..BUT another injury­ setback, nigel is looking at the treatment room and­ saying , never seen anything like this at this point in­ the season ..fact is ..this is Championship Football­ ..its bloody tough, hard and nonestop action,­ casualties are the norm .. so what is all the talk of­ trimming the squad? all these bodies moved out and not­ too many in has just left us with a soft underbelly­ ..and what about if miracles of miracles we get­ anywhere near the Premiership ..do we realy think a­ Squad of 24 to 26 players is going to keep you up plus­ fight it out in cup competitions.
    We need to go­ into the Jan transfer window with a plan. To recruit­ players that are not just decent tryers from the­ conference, or fat boy wing men who never realy made it­ at half a dozen other clubs ..you get what you pay for­ in footbal, and right now we are showing limited to­ Zero ambition.
