From a BBC website report about Walsall firing Matt Taylor:

"Captain Joss Labadie was booked for the 10th time this season at Scunthorpe, which means he now gets a suspension just when the club needs him most. Taylor had told Labadie not to get booked and he goes out and does just that. That tells me he'd lost the players' confidence."

Does anyone know if labs still lives in Newport sure I seen him last week going to St Joe's

Antoine Semenyo wins Championship Player of the Month award.

Barnet have signed striker Reece Grego-Cox, 25, on a loan deal from Crawley Town until the end of the season.

Billy Waters capped by England C at Caernarfon last night. Wales won 4-0, all in the first half.

David Longe-King in Woking side that beat Wrexham today. Winning goal scored after a poor pass from Ben Tozer.

Labadie out for most of next season with an ACL, likewise Conor Wilkinson so that's a slice of Walsall's budget. So many of these, it has to be all those knee slides, surely?

Believe this is the 2nd time for this injury for Labadie. Once ruptured or permanently stretched the ACL will always likely have a weakness, as I can personally testify to. Don't recall Labadie being a knee-slider, although my memory may be faulty.
I'm no sports injury expert, but in my experience ACL injuries are most likely to occur as a result of a sudden twisting movement rather than a knee slide.

Four for twine today already what a player

Shame about the team he plays for

Semenyo to one goal two assists so far

Bakinson scored for Ipswich ("a well struck effort").

I was just thinking knee slides must put strain on ligaments which might then be more likely to go in other situations. Apparently it's not the same one Labadie did last time.

The BBC reporter at that game had a bit of the Charlie Brown's. Kept referring to him as 'Semenoo'

It's certainly an interesting topic, and agree that knee slides must put unnecessary strain on what I believe are 4 ligaments in the knee joints. Would like to hear what medical experts views are on the subject. I believe some people are blessed with a genetic advantage of greater elasticity in their ligaments.
