Injuries

I hope we are not going to lose many players to injury before Saturday.

Looks like Claude may be out for a while. Just glad Bromby is back.

You can see why we need a big squad when you get battered by teams like Watford.

It's us that is supposed to be the physical brutes too. Can't see why!

I was talking to our lass about this last night. I was saying that Watford were dirty - just as they were last season - and it was niggling little things like shirt pulling or going in a bit hard on the tackles. She reckoned that we were like that last season. She honestly couldn't see the difference between being physical - which I'd be the first to admit we were last season (we seem a bit more scared to go in with the tackles this season though) - and being downright dirty, which Watford are. They never allowed the game to flow, as every time the ball looked like it might be going somewhere, they'd shut it down by clattering into one of our players. According to Sky, there were a total of 38 minutes out of 90 - 18 minutes in the first half and 20 in the second - where the ball was in play.
