We were really lucky with injuries last season. Even when they looked like an issue (eg Stephens in November), the team somehow came out stronger from the situation.
I guess that luck has changed. Hope Haynes and Smith are up for it, and Fuller will be fit enough.
That's true we were incredibly lucky last season. I thought it was our new medical team , but there you go, **** happens and we've got reserves, that's what they're there for so no loanees please- it's not an emergency.
Maybe signing Emil Heskey wasn't such a stupid idea after all!
Its really bad news but i didn't think it will be as bad as you think. I don't expect us to go up or down this season. If it gives smith some game time and he develops as a result it could even he a blessing in the long term.
