The 3 real long-term injuries cannot be helped but the majority of injuries this season have happened at Reaseheath. An investigation is necessary.
So, do I still feel optimistic about this game? Not a chance. I'm now expecting a humiliation.
We have had some really bad luck with injuries this season. Worst I have known in a very long time. I am not sure that most have been picked up in training. Long, CBR, Offord, Powell, Tracey, Williams, Turns and Booth all seemed to have picked them up during matches. However, at this time in the season and with such a small squad of players, injuries are fairly inevitable and not many clubs avoid them. That said, our players have been looking tired of late so I am not expecting much on Saturday.
