By the looks of it it is a very bad injury but I'm sure we will find out soon enough.
Here's hoping we are wrong and for a speedy recovery for Lloydy.
Don't really feel like talking about the game.

Winning or losing takes second place when a player gets badly injured

There was so much to say about that game, and maybe I will in due course, but right now it's far from a priority.
It was hard to see the challenge from where we were, in fact we only noticed there was a man down after the ref had blown up with one of our forwards in possession approaching their box. The word is that Lloydy was sold slightly short on a pass and so, by the sounds of it, it became a 50/50 ball. Lloydy played it and someone else came in heavily on his knee. At first the talk was of a broken leg from how he'd gone down, but Aidy was saying knee for definite. Didn't see his leg first-hand, went down that end for a chat with the home fans to find out what they'd seen but there were lots of players and physios stood around by that time.
What I'd say though, is that even when the ambulance finally did arrive and they administered gas and air, he was still in a huge amount of pain as they moved him onto the stretcher. Most people are pretty spaced out after a few moments hooked up to the cylinder, so this was really unpleasant for him.
Top marks to the Kendal physios and backroom team for getting straight in to try and help him out, and to the Kendal home support for their warmly sympathetic applause as the stretcher left the pitch. In fact a lot of their fans asked us to pass on best wishes as we passed through their clubhouse before leaving.

Briggs was on the bench today, for those of you thinking ahead already.

I posted this on the Kendal Town forum as I've found it the most balanced view....good luck to Andrew Lloyd for all that faces him.

It's worth remembering that tempers were frayed all over the ground by the time this happened - even the usually placid Dave Merris getting booked for getting involved in a bit of physical, both sets of fans fed up of the referee letting the game escalate by letting too much go, and the Kendal keeper and number 2 both giving some serious lip to our fans behind the goal (though the keeper wouldn't have won the fight he was offering to start as he could barely walk at the time) - and this may have been a factor in some trying to decide whether this was a freak accident or a malicious challenge. I'd tend to believe from what was said by those who witnessed it that this was just one of those things that sadly happens occasionally. I sincerely hope I'm correct.

I didn't see how the injury to Lloydy happened as we were a long way away but what I will say is there wasn't much sportsmanship shown afterwards when they were supposed to give the ball back to our keeper and they kicked it into the far corner. Also why was it left to Cotty to help carry Lloydy to the ambulance, where were Kendals officials or one of the many people in their dug out. That apart, from the rest of the game I can well understand why Kendal are at the bottom of the Fair Play league and by quite a margin. In the past I have always looked forward to and enjoyed the games between Guiseley and Kendal but I didn't like a lot of what I saw yesterday with a special mention for their No's 2 and 3.

These would have been some of the things I'd have mentioned if I were going to talk about the game. Hoping someone's going to have an update on Lloydy today they can share with us.

IT LOOKED LIKE A LATE CHALLENGE FROM WHAT I SAW. THE REFEREE WAS NEVER IN CONTROL FROM THE FIRST WHISTLE AND TWEEDLEDEE AND TWEEDLEDUM ON THE LINES MAY AS WELL NOT HAVE BEEN ON THE PITCH.

Kendal's reporter in the Non League Sunday paper gave the man of the match to their No 3 to add insult to injury. He also said that their goalkeeper got an injury but poor old Lloydy never got a mention.

Sounds like he filed his copy before the final whistle.

On a positive note, I felt the switch to 4-4-2 made us into a much more cohesive attacking force.
