You might as well have Messi in the squad . Not much good if he is always injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of half the squad? Reduce the age of the squad? Sack another medical team? Or send them all to boot camp and running up and down the Alps to get them fit? I expect a few “names” to leave but nothing we need worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 10 players needing operations and 11 players out for 4 months plus. Something certainly does need to change. When you look at it in black and white, there's no way that an injury list like that can be down to their all being duffers. It must be us.

Greno woods or Langsett? Up and down Hagg Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ante's Bubbly Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 We used to turn down players that we suspected of having injury issues. One famously signed for united played a couple of games then ended up crocked due to the suspected problem we turned him down for. Now we sign players that come to us already carrying injuries or just recovered from potentially serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Clearly that we need fewer of the Lee, Hooper, Fletcher, Hutch, Abdi, Matias, Forestieri types and more like Reach. Some of our our favourites will rightly go, and he is warming us up for it. I guess he he will be looking very closely at their injury records and their recent/current injuries.

Im assuming he wants to get rid of the injury prone crocks . The problem will be getting rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The strange thing is this. Hutchinson is a crock, and were he not a crock then he wouldn't be here. In fact, he probably wouldn't even be in this division. Yet his playing record here, all things considered, isn't as bad as you'd expect. Other players, whom you'd expect to play most games for us, have spent more time in the treatment room than on the pitch. So what's that all about?

My understanding is that Tony Toms has been contacted by Jos to get everyone in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
