Five defenders?

[griff]

I'll be happy to follow this thread mate. I've no doubt that we'll pick up a few points and be in contention/mid-table until the heavy grounds come back and the injuries build up. Beyond then.......as I say we'll have to wait and see.

Of course, Curle might just sign a couple of defenders....

As Griff said, this thread's not really too much about what happens in August.

I don't reckon Ellis has got forty plus games in his legs, Parkes has already been injured (who knows what the long term cost of "battling through it" might be?) - and we've already had every single defender at the club on the pitch at the same time for a couple of games this season.

It's an unsustainable situation and a disaster waiting to happen.

Despite his appalling fitness, I've been quite impressed with Parkes so far - but again, he looks like he's just rolled up from a day at the pub and Mario's pizza shop, I'll eat my hat if he makes it through the season unscathed.
