Lathrope: Suffered ankle injury

The 22-year-old suffered ligament damage in the 1-0 over Cheltenham, but believes it's not as bad as the similar injury that ruled him out of action for three months last season.

"I don't think I'm going to be ready for Gillingham away this Saturday, but I'm hoping to be back for Crawley the following weekend," he told The Western Morning.

"The good thing is that it's not as bad as the one I got last season.

"I remember how my ankle felt when that happened, and I never want that again.

"I knew straight away at Cheltenham that this wasn't as bad - all I want to do now is get fit again as soon as I can."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
