beaufort Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Whitbread trained and played for the development squad for the majority of last season without any problem. He has now cracked a rib after a collision, he hasn't pulled a muscle or suffered a breakdown of a vital bodily organ! Players go through bad injury patches and then hardly miss a game, Commons and Steve Davies to name but two. The latter, like Whitbread, suffered all manner of freak accidents which had nothing to do with his body letting him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Davies was a prime candidate for 'death by paper cut' at one stage, or a fatal cornflake accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that the club are deliberately spreading misinformation to cover up a serious back injury? Some spin doctor has invented the cracked rib?

CumbrianRam Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Why would anyone cover up a bad injury? It will come out in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanRam Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My opinion on Whitbread is there are a lot worse options out there, he has a fair amount of experience, can do the job when called upon, yeah his injury proneness is a problem but thats why he isnt first choice, hes only back up so thats all he needs to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleEatonRam Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Whitbread was pretty solid when he played last season. He's a good backup in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Whitbread looks to be a solid backup when he wants to be.If no new CB comes in and we must rely on him I am cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm afraid I still feel a season of Buxton and Keogh won't get us promoted. Too many weaknesses against aggressive, pacy forwards. Whitbread is a back-up man not a first choice. We need a dominant leader who needn't be a good footballer (we have plenty of midfield ball players to pass to).

Anag Ram Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'll ask, yet again, who and with what money? What money did we spend on Mascarell? The Premiership clubs are deciding on their best line-ups so some of them will be available on loan and we are obviously speaking to European teams. Plus, we never seem to sell players for decent money. We might yet get cash in if offers come in. I'm just saying the obvious weak spots last year were defensive. I'm really surprised we haven't addressed this. John O'Shea might struggle to make Sunderland's first team this year. He would do a job for a season.
