the lads who have been playing wing with our two STAR wingers injured have certainly not let us down

Good point on the squad members who have stepped up, particularly James Clare and feel sorry Hepi has not had chance but the opportunity has not arisen.
Ironically, a few players may benefit from a few weeks with less vigour/contact - Liam Watts fingers etc. This is probably true for all clubs and a benefit for SBW at Toronto with his knee op.
Junior Moors may be fit again by the time we start again!

it was mentioned at the "meet the directors" and jon wells spoke very eloquently about the subject.
i wish i could repeat it word for word as the man is absolutely superb and he makes you realise how complicated it is and how you will have to take some risks and have to accept soft tissue injuries will occur if you want a (remaining percentage) of your squad at peak physical fitness for the first game.
the critical point comes when you switch from pre season training on an artificial pitch to training on grass.
the beauty of the artificial pitch is that you know you can train on it every day and apart from dampness it will always be the same underfoot and the muscles and joints get attuned to this.
most of the soft tissue injuries occur in this transition period and despite trying every possible permutation they now accept if they want to achieve maximum fitness for the majority there will be casualties along the way just the same as in games.

So your saying it was nothing to do with the proms and push chairs?
Sorry folks, stir crazy...

:D :D funnily enough as we left the "meet the directors" i noticed a sign on the training pitch saying "keep of the grass", couldn't help a little chuckle.
