The injuries list situation

[TopGun]

We've obviously got a long list of invalids currently but I feel JP's policy of involving more players with more flexibility so that in effect we have a larger first team squad is either a spot of good luck or good foresight.

 

If we had this many injuries to "first teamers" last season we would be threadbare by comparison in terms of experience and willingness of players to adapt to circumstance as happily.

 

Perhaps it is the first visible benefit of "total football".

It's a good question whether it is by luck or judgement. I like to think that it is his judgement, TBH.

 

Perhaps this 'Total Football' that you speak of has it's benefits.

I have no idea what our best team would be if we had no injuries

Davis

Look at the subs bench last night.

 

On the almost-certain assumpton that the end of the world would need to be nigh for Skacel to get an actual game, do you not agree that we are actually beginning to scrape the bottom of what was a very shallow barrel ?

[Saint Bones]

Actually I had a chat with chiken little this morning.... He said Skacel couold be getting a game any day now

 

Mind you Alps , I think we ALL are scratching our heads as to why Skacel is yet to appear. I'm sure theres a reason ( Valid ??? ) out there somewhere
