Engvall’s Splinter Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 28 minutes ago, Spike said: The worst part about the injury situation is their fans are very aware of it so I won't be surprised to hear them being very loud, especially with fat Tomlin there to rile them up and their good form and good start this season. It's definitely going to be a hard atmosphere and with a team that's far from it's strongest my hope is that the lads who do play today won't be disheartened but instead will see it as a chance to make their case to be in the team. If I was Nige I'd be saying "Look, just because you're in the team due to injuries that doesn't mean you'll be staying in the team if you don't perform, it's your chance to make a statement as to why you should be starting, and even get yourself noticed". I think despite the injuries we could cause an upset if the players are up for it. Tomlin’s there? Quote Link to comment
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 In NP's near 25 years in football management it's doubtful he's ever had a more decimated squad to choose from than he has today. Quote Link to comment
robinforlife2 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Not saying we've not got it bad, but a pal of mine is a box holder at West Brom, they have 5 key players out injured, and 2/3 fringe players out injured at present. He said in their last game, they were without 8/9 squad players, but they have quite a big squad. West Brom sit 6th in the League and like ourselves had to slash the wage bill in the summer. We are not alone in having injuries, but the difference between ourselves and other clubs in this situation, is, our reserves, or second choice players, lack the experience or ability for this level. Even with the recruiting we have done, we don't have a strong enough squad to be competitive, that's a fact. We may have a best starting 11 to be up and around the top 10, but as a whole group, we are lacking. I guess a problem is, you have to keep everyone happy and if we didn't have the injuries, we might have a number of players frustrated at a lack of game time. This period is a chance for the fringe players to show they deserve their place in the squad. If they continue to struggle, then we have to accept, there are a number who simply, just aren't good enough. Something not to be unexpected when it comes to youth players, but when it's players that Pearson and his team have recruited as squad players, then it kind of plays into the hands of Lansdown not really being prepared to allow him to spend the money, as I feel the board, may not be too happy with the recruitment that has been done, and are more inclined to rely on youth players stepping up. The squad today, is very much a Pearson squad. Quote Link to comment
And Its Smith Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hard to predict todays line up then. Cardiff 11/10 to win. Looks like easy money if I could ever bet against city! Quote Link to comment

King, James, and Tommy doubtful - not sure if flu or injured. Tanner, Vyner, Williams, Wells, and Naismith still out. Gone beyond the bare bones with Atkinson not back till January and no updates on Benarous or McCrorie (other than he's had his op). Eleven first teamers out.. So, the fit outfield players are; Sykes, Cornick, Roberts, TGH, Knight, Bell, Pring, and Dickie. Mehmeti available but out of favour. Edited October 28, 2023 by bcfc01 Quote Link to comment

aa_bcfc Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 2 hours ago, BUTOR said: Is there anyone else with as small a squad as ours and are they dealing with the same amount of injuries? Is it fair now that questions are asked given Holden, his physios and co were automatically assumed incompetent when similar numbers were being dealt with in the treatment room? Almost all of the players who are out got their injuries playing for the team. If I remember rightly there were an awful lot of training injuries previously. That, I think, is the difference. 3 Quote Link to comment

Those of us that like HC and/or been questioning why AM hasn't featured, will be pleased. Anyone slagging the team or manager off tonight if we don't do well today will be set to ignore. 6 Quote Link to comment
