Ah yes, how could I forget! You’ve moved to Poland.

Same here. Early riser as well generally.

As for our terrible luck this season with injuries, the good thing is we’re still a point off the top.

I don't think the getting injuries is really down to bad luck. Many of them were the type of thing that you would expect, the Henderson, Fabinho, Keita, Ox etc injuries are the type of thing that you normally pick up every season. It's the number of them that is really the concern and this has to be down to the dense fixture schedule. Obviously the Covid cases are unique to this situation, fortunately so far they have just been the odd player.

Where we have been unlucky is that all the injuries seem to have come in the same positions on the field in such a short space of time, in about a month we have lost VVD, Gomez, Fabinho and Matip was out but came back, that's all of our 4 senior CB options.

The decision to pack so many games into such a short season was stupid, and the decision to send players away on international duty in the current climate is beyond stupid

Two season ending injuries this early in the season is hardly the norm. Particularly if one of them is for a player who never gets injured.

I'm not saying that they are normal, but they do happen from time to time. The VVD injury could happen to anyone whether they normally get injuries or not. It was a dangerous and stupid challenge that put him out.

The Gomez one again they happen, and become increasingly likely when players aren't getting appropriate amounts of rest. Sadly these injuries are inevitable (and normal) this year and there will be more to come hopefully not as serious though...

Where we have been unlucky is having two serious injuries in the same position just weeks apart.

The kids in the youth team must be rubbing their hands together at the moment, it's like the first wave of the somme in grown ups land.

On a serious note I hoped at the time that we’d keep Grujic & train him as a CB & now I’m livid that we let him go out on loan yet again.

Me too. A decent player who could have been our utility man.

Yeah we weren’t know how bad the injury crisis would be but why loan him out? He’d be on buttons too so that’s not the issue surely.

Robbo has a hamstring issue.
