    It's over 10 weeks ago that Lee Angol and Abo Eisa picked up their hamstring injuries. At one point, the club announced that their recovery was going well and both were targeting October for their return. October has now been and gone and neither have made an appearance even on the bench.

    Has there been any update on that expectation of when the two of them will be back to first team action? With other injuries now, the squad is looking threadbare in some areas.

    It is looking threadbare all round.
    Ridehalgh, Eisa, Angol, Lavery all injured.
    Crankshaw sold.
    Sikora out on loan.
    By my reckoning there are only 19 fit first team players for Adams to choose from.

    Its a bloody good job we invested on the sports science and fitness management side of things, isn't it? Imagine how many injuries we'd have otherwise....

    Eisa was re-injured. He was on the verge of being back and got injured again.

    As regards Angol, DA said in the last press conference that he’s just waiting for the OK from the medical team. The impression I got was that his return is imminent.

    One of them is injury prone.. this club must stop signing players that are like that. Its a waste of money and everyone's time.

    Bradford City can not afford not keep doing this..

    FA Cup on Saturday, followed by the Tuesday Papa Johns game, are perfect opportunities to get some minutes on the pitch.

    Rarely, very rarely, IMHO, you make a salient point. However l think many of us have said this many times.;)

    Yes, it's been an impressive turnaround compared to the recent past!

    Mind you, I'm not convinced that not renewing the contract of one member of the old team and then reshuffling the pack with new roles for the other members of the old team would make much difference. It certainly wouldn''t meet my definition of 'investing' in the backroom staff.

    Yes but I think he’ll play a full strength team on Saturday.

    I'll stand by my comment when Angol got injured that he won't be starting regularly until the new year.

    Too much of a risk of him getting re-injured again. It will be a very slow re-introduction to the team.
