It just gets worse!

[Blade58]

Not only has Cressy dislocated his shoulder, f'kin Yeates has as well

jesus H fucking christ

Why don't they do like they do in the films, and just whack their shoulder against a door frame? Pussies.

Cresswell did against Donny, popped it back in on the sidelines, but he put it out again

Chuff me, if we're worried about losing the calibre of players such as Cresswell and Yeates then we truly are in the shit.

Yeah, because we have so many others to replace them with.

 

[Wards]

Isn't Yeates our top scorer?

 

[Big Mart]

So they're the limit of our ambitions are they? The saviours of SUFC? Why don't we have anyone to replace them with? Maybe that's the question you should be asking

I know exactly why we don't have anybody to replace them with, I don't need to ask the question. But given where we are, the loss of Cresswell & Yeates is a worry.

Knowing we need replacements for them and actually having the replacements ready are miles apart, sadly. We should have replacements ready. We haven't. So yes, it's a worry at the moment.

 

[ListerBlade]

I for one rate Yeates. We lacked wingers today IMO.

 

[kelham blade]

Here, here.

Although far from perfect, at least he has an ounce of creation. I can't think of another player at BDTBL who has, hence our lack of goals and general entertaining value.

 

[Jehovah]

Cressy had played well last couple of games previous to his injury and is a miss. Yeates has been pretty poor recently but can always produce a moment of magic, unlike Quinn.

 

[DP8789]

this is terrbile news, any confirmation on how long he's out for? 6 weeks like cressy? we need atleast 5 new players or were down!

 

[SteelCity Blade]

we need atleast 5 new players or were down!

I would agree with that number. I doubt there is enough in the budget for that many but we need that minimum IMO. The players that are fit and available are trying very hard but as a team we're pretty poor.

He's seeing a specialist, and we won't know how long he'll be out until then.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Bad news because we've got no decent replacement but Yeates' crossing has been abysmal. He often gets in good crossing positions but then hits the first defender. I'd also prefer it if he would take his man on more often.

 

[Rattly Noise]

This is bad news. His crossing has been patchy of late (to say the least), but he has scored some goals and laid on quite a few too. An important cog in what has been an under-performing side imo. No wonder we're skint. The medical fees must be going through the roof.
