    Was never like this in the 80's. Cant recall Hendrie or McCall or Campbell taking many sick days between them and the tackles were much more brutal. You only got a red card if you detached a limb or stood toe to toe punching the feck out of each other.

    What is worrying is that players seem to pick up injuries when not playing, Seems something is wrong in the back room

    Adams has been alluding to that for weeks.

    Well, Adams has stated he's doing things his way on football matters. If players are getting injured in training, then it doesn't need Sherlock Holmes to narrow down the cause.

    Could it be due to finances more than anything else. Player from a team near the bottom of the footballing pyramid.

    See, Zeli Ismail.

    Or, intensifying training to rush a player back to first team action?

    Possibly.

    I would guess many clubs at our level have issues with injury, risk against potential with budgetary constraints.

    As a fan, its frustrating. As a player, must be very frustrating

    Different type of injury but can't say I'm overly impressed on Adams comments about Hornby today.

    He made out he wouldn't be getting a keeper in as Hornby wouldn't be out long so it would be a waste.

    Two weeks later, the mask to protect his face still hasn't arrived and he says once that is sorted it's still a case of bumping his confidence back up enough wearing it

    Didn’t go yesterday but seen their goal on the BBC highlights. We looked shattered didn’t we. Sutton soft header. Founds and Canavan beaten and its a soft tap in.

    it was very late in the game I think it’s understandable. The main gripe for me is that we aren’t already two or three up before then to have the game out of sight.

    now we’re left with a replay a long way south. Devon is it? the last thing anyone wants.
