Adlene Guedioura out for 6 months

Such a crying shame about this because we don't have a central midfielder who can offer the forward-thinking qualities that he has. He will be missed so much more than most of us will eventually realise. Whether we will see him again this season when the winter 25-man squad is announced remains to be seen but it's still such a blow. Steve Sidwell for me put in a genuine challenge for the ball, but he was late. But at least Guedioura is looking on the bright side of things and sounds determined to to play for us again.

We wish you a speedy recovery, Adlene.
