I wonder if Bidwell might get a start tomorrow...

He did really well but there was no way we were getting a pen out of that. To be fair to Simmo he stood up well.

Someone will start an "injury prone" thread soon, we can discuss it there ;)

Certainly nothing much to complain about

Another good game Torp. MotM for me

Looked very tight on telly. That's why Haji was annoyed...

A very clumsy yellow card last week, he's obviously not match sharp yet. Fingers crossed...

We have roughly to same size squad as everyone else (outside of the parachutes) and they all have just the same issues. Our weakness is in not having too many youngsters who can really make an impact knocking on the door. We've not invested a whole lot in the unders while we've had to develop a...

Very surprised he got the nod over Allen.

They needed the cash flow to pay for Woolfenden. We've not seen the benefit of that yet but we certainly will at some point.

More of a concern is Eccles's fitness, he looked short of a yard last week to say the least. Presume we'll see Jamie at some point.

Yes, I know you were but it doesn't hold up. Fitness helps with injuries but it's fatigue that's often problematic. I'm not getting at you, I don't like labelling players as injury prone where it isn't due. Brian Robson for example was injury prone...

A point last week is only good if we follow it up today.

I've been looking into this argument that it's easier in the lower leagues. The numbers don't really support that, Last year suggests that the Championship is a little easier if anything. 32 appearances will almost get you into the top 200 in L1 and L2 (212 and 206 last year) compared with only...

Maybe but there's no sign of that so far. People need to understand averages and distributions! Not everyone will play every game and it's probably undesirable anyway.

EMC just doesn't have a history of injuries. It's a non-starter, honestly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephron_Mason-Clark

32 games will have put you in the top 250 in the Championship last season for appearances so that's top 10 per side on average. It's a bit rich to be labelling anybody hitting those sorts of targets consistently as "injury prone" in my book...

Haji's a very intelligent player, you can see that on the pitch and how he adapts within a game. He won't need telling, let's hope his ankle holds out. He'll need some rest along the way and we need Simmo to be a genuine threat too.

Brad Collins was MotM yesterday too. I'm sure that we can all see that he's the best thing since sliced bread now. Don't know what we were all missing, actually!
