should have had more time off to get his head right if you ask me. he looked an awesome defender when he first arrived. Surely it wont be affecting him during a match now though, would it?

He isn't fully fit.

His training is being curtailed by tendinitis, apparently Nelson, Humphreys, and Porter are the same as well....

Which begs the questions, how? and why? That can't be right can it four players suffering from the same thing? It also has me asking if three of our defenders aren't fully fit why has Turner nearly exclusively loaned forwards?? Fooking crazy.

where did you hear that from, even the most stupidest of managers (scotty) would realise that if we had 3 defenders with niggling injuries then you NEED cover

It says it in the same article in the Mail.

didn't realise there was a 2nd page

Poor bloke, i was in i slightly similar position last August and its hard to concentrate when your having to juggle a few things in your life, so its no wonder his football has suffered a bit, especially if it has still not been resolved.

As for the 4 or 5 players with tendonitis, this is the exact reason why small squads can be bad, realistically we should have cover for every single position

2 keepers
8 defenders
8 midfielders
4 strikers

it looks like we tried to do it on the cheap by having 3 or 4 players who can play in more than one position. Which has proved to be a bad idea.

we are at least FOUR defenders short of a balanced squad, no wonder we have struggled big time

Regardless of how many defenders we've got our best one is still playing in fkin bastad midcuntingfield.
