If only we had a lethal striker, cant moan though as we have the ground and it could of been a choice between the 2 who knows. Fingers crossed we are there or there abouts in January and can get a proper striker in.

This a joke? Plus it's 'could HAVE' not OF you thicky

If he was named Boldy and not Baldy, would you consider that he had strength or was a big fan of the washing powder?

Yes it's great to watch but my biggest worry is this, we're not going to go the whole season without getting injuries, and then what. 🤔

I agree and it's hard to compare eras because the game is so different and certainly faster, but teams like Liverpool and Villa won the league in the 80's using something like 13/14 players all season (only 1 sub allowed). Back then you could pretty much get away with assault on the pitch and get a yellow at most, so how they didn't pick up injuries I'll never understand. Today we have the best facilities, top nutrition, fantastic playing surfaces, the balls are lighter, the boots are lighter and the game more technical. There are more interceptions than tackles and yet injuries are common place and we're thinking a 23 man squad is light. Hopefully, being out of the cup, we can continue with our strongest first 11 and a couple of subs to supplement.

Yeah ok, but we're Cov City aren't we, just had a two-week break because of the internationals and we have a injured player already. 😱

A lot of those old players were crippled by having their knees and ankles pumped with steroid injections.
