August 12Aug 12 This is a typical problem with these cup ties and a small squad. Our best player by a country mile in all our preseason games and now injured in a meaningless cup game, when the league is everything.
August 12Aug 12 We tend not to release details of longish injuries. Only after the first game they're missing.

August 12Aug 12 Well after 1 game down to 2 midfielders and no strikers EE still not fit . Rueben out and Simons banned so we are going to rely on Watson ( who as been unconvincing) and Sheehan ah well here’s hoping for 0-0 then.

And not like it was 1st half when you want to stick with the pre-game plan. Just doesn't make sense with so many sub options (Christie, Olazabal drop back, Brunt).

Just doesn't make sense with so many sub options (Christie, Olazabal drop back, Brunt).Yes it is.Especially when it happened the week before with Rodrigues. I temper the criticism with the approach I generally take, in that we don’t know the full picture, they are the ones with all the data and information etc. And you can’t always take everyone off who goes down with an “injury” - always more difficult too when it’s a player you rely on and is having a great game.But yes it looked bad when he went down, waving his arms about, I’d have had him off then. But who am I 😊

August 22Aug 22 Is it not something to do with the "substitution windows" we now have?I'm guessing it makes it difficult to make just the one change because you've then lost a window
