Bottom third of the table finish feels even more inevitable with the absolute shambles of a defence we’re left with now.

Really awful news for him, I hope he recovers and like others have said can have a coaching role during his rehab?
I know it says it happened in training, but he did also suffer a head injury against Colchester just 11 days before, so you wonder if the two could be connected. Just shows what central defenders and strikers have to deal with each game.

Gutted for him, nasty injury and done in training... just our luck. Hope he makes a recovery and is ok

Can see a free agent coming in now. Nigel said no one out there would improve us unless we had injuries, assume he meant waiting for this news.

Oh dear. That's bad news for Mansfield and sad news for James. Hope he's makes a full recovery.

Without wanting to seem insensitive, that might be time on his playing career.

Yeah it is :lol: Perch will be a big miss though.


You might laugh but all we've heard from Clough recently is "when we get James Perch back we'll be ok" well now he's not coming back what now?

It is a big blow without doubt. But to say our season is over is over the top. I remember when we won the conference title, that season we conceded 4 a few times near the start of the season and looked a shambles. We turned that around and it could happen again quite easily.


We hadn't just lost our best player for the season and we could still sign players too. This is a lot bigger than back then. Even more so when the manager has said in nearly every interview since he's been out "wait until Perch comes back and we'll improve".

It absolutely isn’t an overreaction.

I fear that it might also be the end of his career. This is a massive massive blow. The only defender we have who shows any experience or quality. How can you underestimate this ?

I would also say probably our only real leader too.

There going to say it was Stetch who did it next just to really add to the bad news.

Wish him a full recovery and hope he coaches our back line as much as he can.
Absolutely gutted, imagine how Clough must feel.

Really short at CB now. If we could get two in, what a wonderful world that would be

First and formost I wish Perch a full recovery. His contribution and presence has been missed already.

Yes this is a real blow and the players must roll up their sleeves and battle for every point.

I wonder if this injury has affected the team, especially the central defenders. Is this a reason why they struggle to defend the long punt down the field, by letting the ball bounce and not winning the first headers ?

I bet it's going to affect the player who caused the injury even though there will be no blame or fault of his, it's going to play on his mind it's bound to.

I'm not medically qualified in any way but how has this taken so long to diagnose??
Perch has been out now for around 4 weeks I think. Thought a fracture would be relatively simple to spot??

I suspect that it was not diagnosing that it was a fracture that was the issue as this has been a rumour for a long time. It has possibly taken four weeks to build an accurate prognosis beyond the short term advice of not to start playing yet

I think we will be seeing Hawkins at centre half, at least until January. With Bowery in the starting eleven. Not ideal, but necessary.

Time for Nigel to remind us how good a manager he is.

I think Rawson and Hewitt can't cope without a presence by their side. Perch provided this and by virtue of his height Hawkins is the next best thing. The jury still out with me on the new guy, but so far he seems similar to the other two. You build from the back with a solid defence. I'm not an advocate of you score two goals and we will score three.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't play Nartey and Rawson together.
