So quit with the excuses. It would be interesting to see where we would be now though if Clough was still here?
Can we have a list of these 14 players too?
Have you been in a time warp? This has been done to death. List after list was posted.[/quote]
To say 14 players shirked their responsibilities and hid behind a treatment table, is quite frankly ludicrous.
I'm sure Wilson would have loved to have his back straight or Cohen not be on the operating

Thanks D_D half of it I don't agree with either, just like to get a conversation going about football w/e possible.
re: Derby V Forest Analysis
Evidence for what? I'm not trying to make excuses for losing 5-0.
Yes, you had a lot of bad injuries and I genuinely feel for those players, I personally think there were a few dubious ones though too, either very poor training or behind the scenes stuff. I have no proof though just a hunch.
Our first team still cost far less than this B-team of yours though. I agree I don't think we were that good either and part of me still thinks it should have been more had we applied ourselves a little bit better.
That's all in the past now though, I'm done dwelling on it as I'm sure you guys are done making excuses for it.
Both sets of fans have a squad that they're happy with, both sets of fans are getting ****y, there's a few sub plots for tomorrow's game, McLaren's Tactical knoweldge vs Pearce's motivationl ability, hopefully both teams can stay injury free as much as possible this season and we can both have a good crack at promotion.
Good luck on Sunday and may the best team win.
