Bailey injured again---enough said

rushed back too soon,so stupid.
we had enough midfielders without doing that.

with the lions having a nice break we should see some players coming back after there injuries,look forward to Lee Martin coming back as I think he has been good this season

I think players are softer then they used to be, I remember the promotion team of 87-88 I think we only used around 14-15 players. In that season and that was at a time when the game was far more rough then it is today.

LR has a valid point. Years ago in the late 50s early 60s the team never seemed to change and players never seemed to be injured to the extent of not playing the next game.It would be interesting to know what the squad sizes were in those days,taking into consideration that there were no substitutes.
Players were probably nowhere near as fit as they are today but with the fitness regimes now in place they seem more fragile than the old timers.

Bailey injured again,is he made of glass or is the training all wrong

Looks like Williams jarred his knee in training on Tuesday according to News At Den. Doubt we'll find out if he is fit enough until we see the lads run out onto the pitch on Saturday to warm-up. McDonald was already a doubt with a 'tweaked' groin but here's hoping he can train one last time before Charlton on Saturday.
I would love to know what their definitions of 'jarred' and 'tweaked' actually mean?- view external link

Didn't Ollie say last game that some players were injured only to see them on the pitch,think he thinks he is playing mind games
