Good news, thats where squad strength separates the teams that get promoted. Itll be interesting to see how they do.
Nobodys had a worse injury list than us, and weve only had Mcgeady and Sanderson in our team for 3 months of the season because of Parkinsons ineptitude

Took a while for LJ to play Sanderson as well in all honesty. Probably wouldn’t be in the side now if it wasn’t for injuries.
 
Probably the best player in the league, away from us.

It’s a definite benefit. Even if he comes back v us, won’t be match sharp.

Exactly, training ground injuries tend not to be impact injuries so it may be hamstring, muscular, etc ...

... I'd think the doubt will be that he needs a scan.

It could easily be a couple of months.

Also, as we've experienced this season, players coming back from this type of injury needs more time to regain confidence, in the injured part, than with an impact injury.

The article says “second most deadly trio”

wtf is that all about! Was it “We have to make it all about how deadly he is but he’s way down the scoring charts... and there’s other duos with more goals... let’s look at trios then”

Peterborough have played most of their attacks though that triangle because they don't have enough pace for true wing play.
They play Szmodics and Dembélé behind a centre forward (Clarke-Harris).

The three men attack as a unit to draw in the defence and those two will either lay off to a wide midfielder to cross or pass (maybe via each other) through to the centre forward.

Take out Szmodics or Dembélé and the deep attacking forward has lost his immediate support. that gives defenders an easier time.
