Here man it's well established that clubs will prioritize one thing over another and manage the squad accordingly don't be facetious
I get your point but with our luck it was probably nailed one one of our key players would get injured. There’s not a chance I’d have started him today

Cracking first half from the lads. Fulham have had a lot of the ball but we've defended resolutely and we've showed courage when attacking. We probably should have taken 1 of our other chances, but they could have easily had a goal too. Good game, good test.
To win a game of football. We havent played in a week and we dont play for another week What if he was dropped and then did his hamstring in training - these things happen Im pleased we went out to win the game We have a player who will offer us the workrate that stewart brings in gelhardt so im less worried than i would have been. Playing every player is a risk, would you rather we just put out the u21s and u18s? There would be q high chance they would get hammered and that could ruin their confidence
To show how good we've played, we should be at least 2 goals to the good, Fulham has only had 1 good chance to score and Patterson hasn't really had a save to make
Little Alan Wright stretching for the accelerator in his Ferrari I remember that one with Steve Morrow when they dropped the ****er and bust his arm
He's got injured, players get injured. It is disappointing but it happens all the time. That's why there is a manager making decisions. You can't "keep" players for certain games IMO, unless they are carrying a previous injury, or unless they have been playing a lot of games. Being reported as an achilles injury, so we'll see.
All the photos show him holding his achilles and if he's done that we might as well let his contract expire in the summer
Good performance this. Probably should have had one more goal. Good defensive organisation. Fulham are a good side but we havent been over matched anywhere. Massive blow re Stewart. Huge. Going to need to do some smart business now. Gelhardt is a good one but we need that number 9 filled.
I said Fulham could play into our hands if we went a goal up and predicted 3-0 ... ... after seeing that first I think it could happen. If we keep making chances we'll score again.
Depends if just a tear or a rupture. If just a tear its bad but not as bad as a rupture. Which would be worst case scenario. The Achilles is the place on the body that gets the least blood flow, so takes forever to heal.
