[QUOTE=jackal2;40590095]You can't ignore the injuries we've suffered to key players like Edwards and Jones. At the moment it's all about grinding out as many points as possible, waiting for lads like these to return, and then hoping we get more luck on the injury front in the second half of the season.[/QUOTE

Of course, and credit to the team for somehow scraping these results together but you can only get away with performances like these, and the last few games, before you don’t get a lucky penalty, or the other team aren’t three up by half time. I think we’re all aware of the players we’re missing and the impact that has but that isn’t any excuse for the lack of shape, tempo and basic concentration for large portions of a game.

Whilst we continue to scrape these lucky results there’s an element of the emperor’s new clothes about it all. We’re using up a hell of a lot of luck too early in the season for my liking.
