I was planning on getting back and catching the Blades game at HQ on the 30th, although now I can see that being a masochistic daytrip to mid table obscurity Still going though
Dickie now out for season. No update on Westwood. We have been really struck with injuries.. 5 or 6 Keeper injuries ( is that a record) 4 wing backs in the early part of season Willock our most creative player Now Dickie We have been really unlucky on that front. But...the deep depression that is surrounding us at the moment...Will not go away
If youn had taken your chances in the frst half you could have won that, fair play to then young keeper didn't let you down https://www.not606.com/threads/pres...ngers-deepdale-9-4-2022.399924/#post-15750961
Put it on the Match day thread but WLS wrote Westwood dropped out with a stomach bug, Dickie out for the season with a hamstring, Hendrick and Wallace also have less serious hamstring problems, Barbet a swollen knee. Warburton hopeful Barbet and Wallace will be ok for Friday.
Injuries now are definitely taking their toll. However, in my opinion, our problems started immediately after the AFCON with a stream of poor decisions from Warburton, long before we lost Willock, our best player. I think Warburton should be replaced at the end of the season. Other opinions are available.
We are now playing our back up to the injured keeper who was back up to the injured keeper who was back up to the injured keeper who was back up to the injured keeper who was back up to the keeper at AFCON who is now injured Pinched from facebook
Agreed. Definitely AFCON was the turning point. Injuries aside, l tend to think he’s lost the dressing room as well. Even the fans are suffering from injuries ( self inflicted liquids, which is likely to last till end of season )
Unless we win the remaining 5 games, and that would be quite the freak turn of events, you'll probably get your wish.
It's not ****ing luck ! When are you gonna wake up Os ffs. You simply don't get this many injuries without there being seriously wrong with our training. I've said it before , Warburton doesn't even do defensive training so who the **** is crippling all the defenders and keepers this season ?
Of course, it won't happen until the end of the season and then the hunt will either be on for a new younger astute manager or a new board if Warburton stays because they'll be bloody uproar. All that's left for this season is to make some money and keep backing our opponents to win !
Just opinions but I thought we were worse today than the sheff utd game, field is the only consistent light, he wins a lot of balls, god knows what has happened to chair and johansen. Injuries and spinal tap goalies haven't helped but if they're not playing for the manager, it's another change coming...so disappointing and can anyone see us getting anything before the season ends?
