Getting the excuses in early this week. Nice to see the Club being proactive for a change.

12 players injured, bit ambiguous, are they all injured long term and won’t kick another ball this season or are some only a week or ten days away from being fit. After the stop start type of season we have endured with games coming thick and fast Saturday/ Tuesday for a long period, I don’t think 6 first team players injured is that unusual or just applicable to us. The fact other teams in our league have more better, experienced players in their first team squads to help cover 6 first team injuries is probably why we struggle in games more than them. After all haven’t a lot of fans said this season if we can put our best eleven out on a regular basis we are more than a match for most teams in league 2, the fact our cover isn’t good enough when we can’t probably explains our season in a nutshell.

6 isn’t unusual for us but it’s been like it all season, all teams get injuries but tell me any team who have had more.

Players get injured but with us as soon as they are deemed fit they are straight back in and then almost immediately get another injury but far more serious.
Buck stops there. Said before same players fail again and again but keep getting picked – Why ?

Clarke is injured. Loft is deemed 50/50. Taft will probably be fit for Saturday though.
I’d go
Watson
O’Malley Bedeau Taft Rowe
Eisa Spence Karacan Gillead
Olomola Loft/Van Veen
Van Veen is back but obviously not match fit. Not too bad that team though.

I have mates who support a number of S.Yorks clubs and beyond and they look at me gone out whenever I explain our injury lists.
Hardly research but it certainly leaves an impression.4 users thanked author for this post.
Loft is 50/50
Loft is 50/50 when he isn’t injured!

Having read the managers injury update I’d be tempted to go low risk and play 11 who are definitely 100%.
Watson
Howe Rowe Bedeau O’Malley
Gilliead Karacan Spence Eisa
McAtee Olomola
Subs:- Beestin, Hippo and some of the U23s
No good risking KVV, Taft, Green, Loft etc being out for the season. Reading between the lines it’s probably not a game Cox is ‘targetting’ for a win anyway.
” They’re a good side, have a lot of experience and are up there pushing for automatic promotion. We know it will be a tough test but it’s about what we do. We have to better in the final third.”Typical Cox clap trap.
I wonder how much is injured or just dont want to play this crappy system.

Could be that some of them are giving 120% in training and have nothing left for match day.
Or maybe not.1 user thanked author for this post.
It could be possible that with all the diving and yelling that the Premier players do, that they actually convince themselves that they are actually injured. It is high time that refs in that League get a grip of all that diving and falling over their own leg drama, it has become a recognised acceptable thing now.

Rowe and Bedeau scare the crap out of me if they’re the 2 central defenders he7 matches to go – no doubt VERY important ones, players will be thrown in who are on a hiding to nothing !
This season has seen the most mismanaged set of players I have ever seen. Mr Cox is the luckiest manager in our history because if the crowds were actually there the gates by now would be at near rock bottom numbers.

This from the OWS ….
“Ryan Loft misses out again with a groin problem, goalkeeper Mark Howard remains out for three-to-four weeks with a thigh injury, while Manny Onariase has missed the last three games with a hamstring problem. Right-back Jordan Clarke continues to be a doubt after reporting a swollen ankle following the defeat at Carlisle seven days ago.
Left-back Junior Brown is out for a total of five-to-six weeks with a hamstring injury that forced him off against Bradford City and attacker Jordan Hallam is out with the hamstring problem which he suffered against Oldham Athletic in March, while Olufela Olomola’s season looks to be over after he suffered a medial ligament injury.
Striker Aaron Jarvis (hamstring) is set to miss the rest of the season, while midfielder George Hornshaw and goalkeeper Adam Kelsey are both expected to be out for the remainder of the campaign following ankle surgery.”
When I was playing in the 70s & 80s hamstring injuries were rare. I’ve talked about this several times with mates who played at the same time and all were in agreement. Stretched groin and the odd dead-leg, perhaps. Ankle injuries were most likely the result of some horrendous tackle which you rarely see in the professional game these days.
With improved fitness methods and strict diets. Warm ups and warm downs. One would have thought today’s footballer would be stronger than forty years ago, but apparently not!
