    The only injuries that have effected us have been Jones, Crowley and Robertson. The rest have all been untried players. ie Edwards, Grant, McDonald, Ness and Cundy..

    You don't think having these five new players we've clearly signed with a view to improving the squad and its depth, unavailable has had any negative effect on selection options, rotation potential and consequently the performance of the squad?

    That makes approximately zero sense. If not less!

    Apart from Ness, the others , Edwards, Hinchey, McDonald, Grant and Cundy have all looked very average players. Some rant on about Edwards being our missing link in MF. The only decent game he has had was against lower opposition. Against better sides he has looked poor... So i dont think any of those would have increased our chances if played.

    You?re just making stuff up with Edwards. The only ?better side? he has played against is Grimsby when we won 4-1 and he was one of the outstanding players on the pitch. Otherwise he?s only played against Tranmere, Accrington and Swindon.

    I don?t think we?ve seen enough of him yet to make a proper judgment either way, but he did absolutely nothing to suggest he wouldn?t be a useful asset.

    Well lets see what he can do when fit to play.. I dont make things up as you say. I merely say it as i see it. When i go to the game I view it as a neutral, and not a biased Notts Fan. Sometimes it helps not to see things thru tinted glasses.

    The former injuries have affected us more obviously. All the injuries have affected us to a greater or lesser extent. Jones and Crowley being our best two players!

    What a terribly narrow way to look at it. Of course, Jones and Crowley are your headline injures and have an obvious effect on the first team. But the players you cite also impact the first team because without them, your options off the bench and for rotation are depleted.

    We do not live in an age of football anymore where 11 players and one or two subs do the trick over a season.

    Personally, being sixth at this moment in time will absolutely do for me. Factor in that you can barely get a fag paper between second and ninth, as long as we are continually in touching distance of having a chance of being promoted (either automatically or via the play offs) then we are in a good position.
