No Injuries. No suspensions.

The Gills have been clear of injuries and been suspension-free throughout the winter period (kentoline)

have we been lucky, or another sign of mad dog's superior general management methods?

Discuss at will.

 

Not been playing that much to be honest ! But the squad do seem fitter than last season.

 

and suspensions- we used to suffer a bit from those.

 

charlie lee hasnt been on the pitch every game, theres your source of suspension gone

 

Well we've got a card happy referee for Saturday ( including 6 reds so far this season )

 

That's blown it.

Expect a couple of reds & suspensions in the next few weeks, a season-ending injury and a couple of 'hammy's'

 

This can't be luck why we have been so injury free. It's got to be because of the training regeme, which just goes to show how little Hess knew about fitness last season. Remember also that we were largely injury free under Stimsons training.

 

or it shows the benefits of having a fitness coach this season and under Stimson, rather than just Hess and Southall.

Also we do have a massive squad this year and don't need to play players with niggles who aren't at 100% (and are rotating the team a fair bit)
