The fact is that at the moment it's overshadowing every result, every performance. It seems to be at least one key injury or niggle requiring rest, from each fixture. I can't recall anything like this, and I can't recall the last time we had most of the squad fit and available. It feels almost inevitable every match day and I don't know how we stop/break the cycle?
The more we have our, the more we flog the match day squad or starting 11 into the ground. The more tired they get, the more we risk injuries to them. It's a downward spiral. Not only that, but those who were in great form earlier in the season, but could be rested a tad to maintain stamina and that form, are now being run into the ground or are already injured.
It's ridiculous and I don't know what the answer is. It is the very thing that risks derailing our season. Recruitment has been good, squad spirit is good, playing style and creativity is excellent, but... this.
