Injuries

This is why we aren’t going up this year.

Still far, far too many injuries.
Let’s see how many are unavailable for the first match before we panic. Then let’s see how many are not available by the end of September.
 

Wes is a concern if he’s not fit for Mansfield it’s getting a bit close to the main stuff starting without our first choice keeper fit,
A keeper not playing pre season isn’t really important, I’d expect him to be able to do one training session and be good for Watford. The outfielders who are still out like Doyle are a bit of a worry though.
 
Yes but you’re claiming we will finish lower because of a slow start

Almost as if we had the worst possible start and yet finished in the playoffs

There is zero chance we start that badly again
We had MGW last season. We don’t have anywhere near as good a player this year to replace him.

As for zero chance we will start that badly again: that remains to be seen. I hope you are right.

We won’t get an individual player of his quality but we can easily replace him by committee - Brewster back and firing, Ndiaye can drop deeper and pick up some of the creative slack, Doyle can take over from Fleck and actually contribute, players like Khadra potentially coming in will also add that creative spark

Losing MGW is not a death sentence, he himself was very inconsistent at times
 
Managers always say they like to have a full pre season with players/new signings. We've had 9 out for a while who are still unavailable, this is a big worry/problem.

Doyle is injured
Khadra doesn’t play for us

The other two might step up, yes.

It’s not a death sentence but for all this alleged inconsistency his goals and assists will be very hard to replace.

If you agree it's not a death sentence can we stop acting like such

All this negativity before the season's even bloody kicked off
 



Sounds like a freak accident but thats the way some of our injuries have gone for the last 2 years.

We are going into the season once again where it will be quicker not to even bother asking Hecky for injury updates and just be surprised if someone new appears in the starting 11 on a match day.
 
Team vs Watford looking like..

Amissah

Anel Egan Clark

Baldock Norwood Fleck Lowe

Berge Ndiaye

Brewster
Amissah is nowhere near ready for Championship first-team football.

Injuries are a worry & whether we like it or not they're part of what comes with Heckingbottom (google his past managerial experiences & you'll see a theme)

I think if injuries carry on at the rate they've been over the last 9 months & we fail to get off to a good start there's pressure on him. As owners its an expensive do to be paying a squad of 25-30 & only 16 of them fit for match day.
 
Foderingham back between the post tonight @ Field Mill for friendly. Good to see him back in goal with Adam Davies missing start of season with injury picked up @ Lincoln and Utd not likely to be bringing in a GK for cover while Davies out
 

Might take him a while to get back to prime Bogle, but he was hitting some heights before that injury. Hope he's on a long term deal because if he produces that over a full season we'll be struggling to keep hold of him.
 
Be interesting to see who's missing tomorrow. First teamers vs Burton..
Stevens
RND
Basham
Robinson
Norwood
Couilbaly
