Jores Okore

It would be quite difficult to overstate what a massive blow this news is. Torpedo amidships is the maritime metaphor which springs to mind.

There goes all hope for a clean sheet this season 

[PeterWithesShin]

Watch us get a clean sheet at Norwich now.

Fair play to him for walking off the pitch with that injury, Good Luck Jores.

The guy must be absolute nails. He had convinced the physio that he could run it off. Lets hope he's back in training before the season is out.

It is a terrible blow for us this, but then its not like he has been propping up good form or stout defending thus far.

You know what, I was just thinking the same thing.

As if our weekend could not have got any worse! Good luck in a speedy rehabilitation Jores

Time for Clarky and Baker to step up.

While our defending still has a way to go it's better than last season. Arse and Chavski away, 3 conceded, Racists and Jawdess home, 3 conceded. Total 6. In the same games last season we conceded 14.

Can only wish a swift and full recovery to one of the best defenders we have seen in the last 5 years...

On a personal note can I just say £(&^%$$>?@N*&*^%%$ with double bollocks!

I think it's a bit early to refer to him as that, although I agree completely with your sentiment.

Early days, I know, but we've already got the second worse defence in the league. It's folly to think its any better than last season. We had the whole summer to overhaul the defence yet we're still stuck with the nightmare that is Vlaar, Clark and Baker.

He didn't play at Arsenal don't forget, so that better defending isn't all just down to him. We've conceded soft goals with him on the pitch (Chelsea's second, Newcastle's first) and while has been off it. If people like Lowton are going to have a rank game, then there isn't mcuh he can do about it all on his own.

I am not belittling the guy, I think he is a good player and a fantastic talent, but the decent form in those three games wasn't built around good defending. We're not going to defend our way to points with or without him in the side.

We've probably had a harder opening 4 games than anyone else as well. But you are right, conceding 8 less than the same games last season means it is as bad.

As I said it's far from where I want it to be but it has showed signs of being better than last season.

In mitigation, we have played three of the top six sides. Newcastle was the only piss poor performance thus far.

But we concede goals against practically every team we play, so I don't see any kind of improvement really.

[PeterWithesShin]

So you really don't think conceding 8 less isn't an improvement?
