Its been difficult, absolutely, but if we had a proper RB and LB backup (like when we had Chambers or Targett, even Cedric as a backup) then it would be so much easier to navigate. I also think, in fact I know, you will struggle to find another club who only has 3 senior central midfielders in the squad. We have been unlucky for sure, but alao its exposed the problem of having backup full backs (Vlaery and Vokins) who the manager basically decided, probably correctly, are not viable PL options. Vokins especially should have been loaned out for the season in the summer, with another senior LB brought in to cover and compete with Bertrand. Brighton for example have had Lamptey miss 15 games and March ruled out for the season, but they have cover for both which is of sufficient quality to enable them to cope, whereas one injury to KWP has basically killed us.

LiberalCommunist Posted 26 February, 2021 Share Posted 26 February, 2021 Never known a season like this. The warnings were there, no pre-season, parts of the training ground locked down. Less contact, less mixing, less staff around. But to lose the key players at the key times has been devastating. Vest, Danny, Kyle, & Oriol, all when on top form. Is that a exaggeration? Its really not, all four at the time of the injury were playing brilliantly. Could chuck Diallo in there as well. Feels like a curse. How dare we prioritise the cup. How dare we match up with the big boys in the early part of the season. How dare we. Well, slap down accepted. I'm ready for this season to end. Dreading Monday now, feel sorry for Ralph having to live this, it must be utterly bewildering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate for Diallo and KWP to get fit and stay fit for the run in. With the relaxation of lockdown hopefully that provides an opportunity to get more recovery facilities open at Staplewood and staff to assist.

I've not known our side to be so heavily weakened for such a prolonged period of time. It's amazing that a month after apparently admitting our facilities have been partially closed due to covid, we are still having problems. I wouldn't be surprised that some of our supposedly fit matchday XI players are carrying injuries and trying to cope as best as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, certainly in Valerys case though, that some people would rather have him there than a cb out of position. I know JWP can play there but I thought they would have seen our injury list and decided it would be too risky to bank on him playing there.

Most premier league clubs would not leave themselves with no specialist full back cover (regardless of injuries) though would they? I get that Valery ain't great but he is a specialist full back and he has played a significant number of PL games.
