David Wheater faces six weeks on the sidelines after limping out of yesterday’s 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

The defender has been one of the more consistent members of Neil Lennon’s squad this season but damaged his hamstring in the second half at the City Ground and could now be out of commission until March.

Wheater has had a chequered fitness history at Wanderers but had strung together 18 consecutive starts – his best return since signing from Middlesbrough in 2011.

Neil Lennon confirmed the injury on Saturday evening but said he did not regret keeping the centre-half in the side for such an extended spell.

“It’s a blow for us with David having done his hamstring but he has been playing consistently well and when someone has been playing consistently well, you keep going with him.”

Well that should just about confirm relegation. We'll concede at least 3 or 4 per game without him. Terrible news.

How can anyone be a "key" defender in a team that is bottom of the table is beyond me.

It makes no real difference except to Wheater himself. I hope he's fit soon for his sake and returns to the team in due course but the truth is we're garbage at the moment with or without him.

We will miss Wheater, but remember, when Cahill was out injured in his last season with us, we actually played better football.  Who woulda thunk?

Maybe it's about time this little chap explained why we signed him?

give him a go he can't be any worse than Dervite can he? Bet Derik wasn't expecting to be facing the prospect of league 1 when we signed him

Would a partnership of Derik and Prince be too much of a risk now or are we past caring as we are doomed anyway?

Alex Finney can't be that far away from getting a game either.

Tinned Toms - You know it makes sense!

Bring back Gerald Cid and partner him with Dervite. Problem solved.
