Well that’s a bummer.

The cynic in me wants to suggest that our 33 year old captain, who has been doing all our running all season, was brought back too quickly from an injury and has also been overused across the season. Should have been "taking it easier" at CB not running himself ragged blasting up and down the wing.
I think the Brighton result may have papered over the cracks a bit. There are still a lot of games to go...

It reminded me a bit of Michael Owens in the World Cup . A sudden direction change through a planted leg.
I really hope it’s not too bad but fear the severity based on what we saw on the pitch.
The pain seemed beyond that of an average ACL from what I know (which isn’t a great deal)

Judging by your posts since your recent arrival, Minty, I think it rains wherever you happen to be.

Irrespective of his age, he's still an influence on the pitch. I hope it's nothing long term and that we see him back soon.

Wish him all the best - been one of our most consistent players this season so we will miss him.
Thought Smith ahead of schedule so thought start of February was more likely?
Unfortunately we haven’t replaced the Marc Wilson type squad member who can play right back or right centre half so may be 3 at the back with wing backs is the way to go now ?

Agree it could well be the end for him if it is cruciate knee ligament.....very soon there will be one left out of 'that' team...
....i know it happens to every team but even so its quite a sad thought.

That would be an extremely cruel way to end a fine career. Let's see if it is not as bad as that.Agree it could well be the end for him if it is cruciate knee ligament.....very soon there will be one left out of 'that' team...

It looked to be a very bad injury yesterday. I do hope it's not as bad as it looked.
I wish a very, very loyal servant to the club the very best for a quick recovery.
I hope we see you in an AFC Bournemouth shirt again very soon.

Hear, hear. The skipper has been one of our stand-out players this season and for many years before this. Who can forget his top class marshalling of Zaha earlier this season? He didn’t give him a sniff. And that superb cross for the Daniels header yesterday? Hope to see you back on your feet soon, Franno - total legend.

EH said yesterday that it looked serious. I really hope it’s not but do fear the worst. He’s been a rock over the years and you never know how much you miss players until they are unavailable. Best wishes Franno for a speedy recovery.

Good luck from Canada. Just started watching on TV in 2015-16, adopted this team immediately with Simon as a favourite. Hope we see you back out there soon.
