Ok, so first it was "not involved on Friday" to "it's not 100% certain he won't play"......

"MB: “Cooper returns to the group.” Douglas, Berardi, Dallas, Bamford & Hernandez not involved in Friday"

WTF is going on? We all made comments about how many injuries we suffered last season. I think we would all take the number of injuries then as a real positive compared to this. We all know the regime that Bielsa has implemented puts additional strain on players, but soooooo much?

Long may our style of play continue, but if that is to be (and we seek to win more games that lose), the squad needs bolstering (and no, not with "signature" signings, but with the return of some of the youngsters who face lower league opposition in search of game time, which is clearly available in the 1st team)
