So to suggest he's injury prone and missed a whole chunk of games is utter nonsense. He's been unlucky this year, yet still played 12 times and been on the bench in other games.
So we might have a poor history with right backs but you need to go back about four years to find the start of it.

I think over the past few seasons the expectations placed upon Gray and Stevenson have been huge. Neither are world beaters but both are solid and reliable. Here's to Gray recovering fully from his injury.

I ruptured my Achilles shuffling around ineffectively at the back during a veterans' 11s game in May - very, very sore. A weird pop and it felt like someone had battered me on the back of the leg with a baseball bat. On crutches for three months and it's still not right.
Pro sportspeople will get surgery and the best rehab but it's still a long recovery process. Scotland rugby player Richie Vernon is just coming back after 10 months or so.
Sir David is made of steel though, and not yet 30, so hopefully he can get over this in time for next season.

Gutted for him, IMO he was very unlucky to find himself out of the team when Whittaker came in, after watching Whittaker in his first few outings I still couldn't for the life of me see what he was bringing to the table that made him a better option than SDG ... Gray was faster, just as good in the air and by a distance a better defender, not to mention our bloody captain.
Whatever the case, with Gray now out for the season and Whittaker seemingly picking up loads of niggling injuries we need to sort out the right back position ... bringing in a loan player for this gives me the fear I have to say, but it looks like its going to be our best and only option.
Come the summer this is a situation we are going to have to focus our full attention on, we have neglected both full back positions for far too long, I realise Whittaker was an attempt to shore things up at RB but it appears he isn't going to be the solution we had hoped for even as cover for Gray, which from what I've seen is what he should have ended up as. Its mental that we have gone season after season with no significant challenge to the ever dependable Stevenson at LB, if he was to get injured we are going to end up with no specialist full back on either side, which is far from ideal.

Has looked terribly slow since his return (injury or not).
