Jake Cole Injured
Oxford Mail/Mark Edwards - Keeper Cole in injury scare
DARREN Patterson admitted the groin injury picked up by on-loan goalkeeper Jake Cole in Oxford United's's 3-1 win at Maidenhead on Saturday was a big concern.
Cole, who finalised a three-month deal from QPR last week, lasted just 18 minutes before being replaced by triallist Ben Hinchcliffe.
Goals from Lewis Haldane (2) and Jamie Guy's penalty set United on the way to a comfortable victory.
But it was Cole's injury - and the welfare of Luke Foster - that were the main talking points afterwards.
Foster was knocked unconscious after a collision at a corner, but after being out cold for a couple of minutes, was able to walk off.
"Jake has got a soft tissue injury of his groin, and that is a big worry," Patterson said.
"With Billy (Turley) out, I wasn't prepared to take any chances, so he came off straight away.
"It was a good chance to look at Ben, but obviously we need Jake fit...

Ex-QPR's Tommy Doherty praised
"....But while many of the 22 Wanderers players on display struggled to get to grips with their well-organised opponents, [Wycombe manager, Peter] Taylor reckons that first-half captain Tommy Doherty was a huge positive from the game after a superb display alongside John Mousinho:
"Tommy Doherty was different class," he said. "I had a bit of a go at the first-half team but I did say that Tommy was first-class. Since I've been here he's been a laid-back character but he's enjoyed himself and he's enjoyed being captain today."
