Young winger Jack Tanner, who manager Marc Seager signed from Dover in pre-season, suffered an achilles injury during last night’s 3-2 win over Croydon Athletic at the Belmont Ground. Tanner had already show glimpses of why he was m.o.m in the previouse game against Chipstead

when Town felt they were unlucky to go down 2-1 away in their first game of the new season.

“It looks a bad one,” Seager told the press after the game: “young Jack has been flying in pre-season and it was no surprise that he started off our league campaign so well. Against Chipstead he had a great first half, the goal came from his work down the right and got us back in the game right on half time, just a pity we couldn’t convert any of the chances we created second half.

It looks like he could be out for anything between six and ten weeks which is a massive blow, it was a hard but fair tackle I think the lads momentum caught Jack on the calf as he went down, but we have to get on with it and I always say that the it’s a chance for one of the other lads to show what they can do.” © WTFC
