Mahovo - 3 months - rough return late Oct 26 - injured in the Colchester game

Diallo - off to see the specialist



Toure - Dislocated shoulder



Chrisene - shoulder

McLean - ankle

Cordoba - ankle

I wouldnt be surprised to see Chrisene, McLean and Cordoba fit before we
start playing Championship football again. Hopefully 2 to 3 weeks should
see them fit again.

However there is some good news - Forsyth and Mundles Smith are playing
