Injury Woe

[ca 1]

Who else thinks that we pile it on a bit thick about our injury crisis? Last time I worried about having loads of first team players missing the majority all magically appeared on the Saturday.

Will be interesting to see how many of the 8 players named yesterday in the EEN are missing for the Cardiff game (other than Smith & Fozzy who are long term))

Or am I being cynical?

Gets a bit tiresome. Im sick of hearing "oh Hucks is still injured and Fozzy and Smith are out" excuse. Fozzy was never a regular, Smith we know nothing about yet and Huckerby-are we a 1 man team?

[/quote]No you''re not CA, or if you are it''s justified. It happens every time (in the media more than anything) - we hear all about a crippling injury list which reduces by at least half come match day...[:@]

any club with ambitions of promotion should have a squad to cope..I don''t think our injuries are that bad, but one injury to a centre back and we were always going to be struggling, if Hucks gets injured we struggle because we have no creative midfielders to cover, these are all the makings of a midtable team.

Perhaps Grant is trying to give a hint to the Board.

I don''t think it makes any difference to me what is said off the pitch - if you find it tiresome, don''t read it - all that matters to me is what happens at 3.00 pm tomorrow!

I have had enough of all these injury whinges.... We are sounding like the Tottenham of old...  Fact was they just weren''t good enough.

Don''t worry too much,CA, all clubs do it........

Any manager worth his salt is going to be a bit savvy in the injury department. That way if we get turned over by Cardiff tomorrow then Peter Grant will cite injuries as a big factor, even if the players concerned do actually turn out, i.e., " Player A was up all night being sick but didn''t want to let the boys down, Player B was limping throughout even with the ice packs we strapped on his groin before kick-off and at half time, Player C only left A & E late on Friday night,etc, etc, ".

But should we win then it''ll be, " Players A and B don''t know when they''re beat, hearts as big as a house those boys and what can I say about Player C....when he went to the hospital I thought  they were going to take him straight into intensive care, etc, etc, "

Let''s hope we win then........

Why is it too late?  The transfer window hasn''t closed yet has it?
