Handy thread this but why does it list old injuries that are now cleared?

Would be better to keep it to current injuries only else you'll crash the server with such long posts soon enough!

Also, it's already out of date with some of the players' status.

Old injuries are relevant because they often come back and haunt players later in the season. It's highly likely that we've not seen the last of O'Brien's groin injury, for example, because he's not had the lay-off that he might get in pre-season for the same injury.

Do you reckon OB's groin will rear its ugly head again then?

Good info RamNut

Shows our main problem at the moment with Barker, Brayford, Bailey, Green, Davies and Tyson all crocked.

Interesting to see what happens with Paul Green though, others may not agree but I think he is good enough to come back into the starting 11? I thought he did well with Bailey and Moxey to be honest.

I thought it was interesting to see that Barkers current problems are a complete replay of what happened last summer.

Same with Anderson.

Also, it's already out of date with some of the players' status.

er .....don't think so

But Barker's IS last seasons injured being sorted out properly instead of him playing through it.

Some of the people you have down as "injured - return date unknown" played in a friendly last week.

ffs....'no return date' is only stated against brayford, riggott and buxton

there is no way brayford played.

Both Riggott and Buxton are noted as back in training.

However if you know a return date when they will be available for first team selection then please feel free to share it with us.
