Jody Craddock Out Until New Year

This is a kick in the gut as we don't know how longer we could perservere with Richard Stearman at the back, we miss him badly. Initially, the injury was to the hip, but has gone down to the thigh and Jody states on Twitter it will take three weeks to recover and I can't Mick McCarthy rushing in a 35-year-old into the festive schedule of the season so he won't be seeing action until the new year.

Jody Craddock: Sorely missed.

The sooner he returns, the better.
