Hope not many players are missing vital match fitness minutes tonight... quite a few did from Chesterfield game.

Yep only Harrogate, Rotherham and Huddersfield left unless they add any more pre season fixtires

In contrast Preston have Fiorentina, Salford and Everton....although they did lose to Tranmere at the weekend

17 days till PNE but a good pre season is vital. Look at last summer it took players months to get match fitness so they could start a game.

Think Wilder said most of the ones that missed Ches were due to illness, and would be back in on Monday (I.e yesterday). So hopefully we should see a few more tonight

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

I'm sure start of last season we had players like Bogle, McBurnie etc who barely had a pre season so had to rush back for games when they weren't ready.

Then new signings like Souza and McAtee were thrown in but weren't fit enough.

I know CW wanted a good pre season under their belts this summer.

Well 2 have left, 3 are back so just the 5 missing with Osula

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Think it's safe to say we are going into the season undercooked, still needing many transfers and unfit again

Fitness is still shocking.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Fitness is still shocking.

October we'll be ready to compete (again)

 

[Bladesman]

We probably said that last season as well.

So who's missing? Anel, Hamer and Osula?

I don't include those due to injury but RND not far off by all accounts.

The numbers on those graphics are horrendous. As a club, I hope we prioritise changing it over everything else that's happening at the minute

Think it's the new EFL font. But yes, not the easiest to read

Nothing to do with the EFL, it's just a shit choice by someone at the club

Grbic
RND
Davies
Osula

Anyone else missing? Least injuries are better this year.

Grbic is illness. Osula is very short term.

Don’t think we can rely on the other two for much availability so anything from them is a bonus.

Let’s hope Shackleton isn’t long term.

Wasn't RND back training at least? Davies is back injured. Probably the best thing for him is we don't actually need him and he isn't rushed back.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Most of the players who've now left had injury issues so least CW has addressed that. Only RND and Davies haven't had a pre season much which is actually positive.
