Injury to Parry not so serious
The injury to Paul Parry last Monday is not as serious as first thought. The former Hereford United star was cut down by an opposing player and taken to hospital.
However Parry is not having the easiest time at Ninian Park recently as Chris O'Brien of Cardiff City website 'Bluebird To The Bone' explains.
He is coming across as an injury prone player and has already had several spells in the treatment room. This lack of first-team football is hampering his chances of regular football and Parry has found himself on the bench on numerous occasions and now faces a battle with teenage sensation Joe Ledley and a few other players to win back the left-midfield position.
After coming on as a late substitute during our 3-0 win over fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest, Parry was stretchered off with another injury. Early fears were that Parry had suffered a broken leg and his footballing year would be over before it had even begun, but this is not the case and though he will be out for a short while, the injury is not as serious as was first thought.
He arrived in the Second Division, well First Division, or is that Football League Championship, with a bang last season. However, he now isn't playing with the consistency he had been. Having said that, this is mainly down to the injuries and earlier in the season he covered up front when an injury crisis swept Ninian Park and he was impressive. I have little doubt Parry is a player more than capable of playing in the second flight, but the next 12 months will be interesting for the midfielder.
