All clubs have pre season injuries no doubt but what has made it more of a concern for fans are lack of replacements due to lack of recruitment. Bear in mind the numbers of players who have left the club in the Summer as well. I can cope with Icky being side lined for a few weeks if I know Tilt or Mcdonald can replace him. I can cope with Viktor being out if Vickers can replace him.

Of course you can go down the route of putting kids in but that puts them on a hiding to nowt. Imagine the stick the young goalie will get from a section of the fans if he starts letting soft goals in. Hardly good for his confidence and more than likely make him perform even worse. The fact we aint got a replacement for him means the poor bugger has to carry on.

We all know certain sections of our fan base will make players lives hell if they slip up dunt matter if they are young lads.
