I'm not excluding anything. [HASHTAG]#130[/HASHTAG] above: quote: "Here are some illustrative numbers from a post by Baker on the Pink 'Un forum".
As for "the point", I can't answer for Baker. My posts [HASHTAG]#130[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#134[/HASHTAG] are in response to Suffolk's posts [HASHTAG]#126[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#129[/HASHTAG]. IMO "nuance" seriously underplays the determinant role of the availability burden on performances throughout the season. Also the extent to which the composition of the squad exacerbated the burden.
My phone doesn’t show post numbers so I don’t know what this means, but it wasn’t in the one I read
And I’m now totally lost if you don’t know the point of your post either, but let’s move on
All I can say is that all managers have to bear with injuries, and I do think we have been particularly unlucky for quite a few seasons in terms of key injuries. I’m unconvinced by the notion that left back is quite so important, but I agree that multiple injuries to left backs doesn’t help - much more important to my mind were suspensions of McLean and Sainz, and injury to Sargent
I’m also not sure I can blame club management for “squad composition” on the left back topic - having two left backs and a centre back who can double seems like a very sensible squad composition, it’s just the misfortune of injuries that makes it look worse - but three left backs would be a waste of money
It does come back to the big question mark over training and burden on players’ bodies though
