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.
I would certainly like to be a bit more optimistic but the players are tired and with so many players out injured it is difficult to rest any of the players. WE have not yet wrapped up the play offs we do need a couple more points, not sure where they are coming from with 2 games left. As a team we have been a shadow of the team that beat Stockport and Barrow earlier in the season and we now have tired players who must be low in confidence. Personally I think we have lost our way the form team is Doncaster and they are likely to romp through the play offs to wrap up that fourth spot for promotion, we can hope for a play off place but with our injury list I think that is a s far as we will go. At one point I thought we could clinch that 3rd spot for automatic promotion. LB has said that there are a couple of players likely to make it for next week but we will wait and see on that, probably need CBR, Thomas and ST back to have any chance but I think we have just fallen short this season. I will be there cheering them on but I think the injuries did for us in the end.
