So, where are we now on the current injury crisis? Who is fully match fit, who is almost there and who is still weeks (months?) off?
What are people's views on the possible line up tonight - a return for McManus?
Personally I think any points gained over the next 2 games would be a real bonus, given opposition form and our walking wounded...
Based off what Marc has said in recent weeks I would probably say the following:
McShane (at least a couple of weeks away)
Bowerman (Probably 2 or 3 weeks at least)
Craig (Bit of an unknown as Marc said he would be back a couple of weeks ago)
Carter (4 weeks)
Rutherford and Muitt (Both got a couple of weeks left of their loan)
I imagine Moore and Fuller are now ready for some minutes after being in the squad last couple of games. McManus will probably be on the bench but not sure if he will get minutes yet.
I think it will be the same XI as Horsham tonight but possibly Seager for Ottaway. I imagine McManus takes the place of Kuhl on the bench and the rest stays the same.
Is no one actually questioning what is going at training, why on earth are we getting so many injuries? It can't all be down to bad luck....
I've been surprised for a while now that more questions aren't asked about our strength and conditioning/fitness coaches.
That being said, I think the bulk of it comes down to age of the players, our pitch and the part time status. If you look at our injured players this season, the majority are in their 30s.
