Danny Wilde Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I refuse to believe any more that our squad is perpetually hit by injuries purely down to bad luck. There's not a week goes by that a player isn't breaking down on the pitch. The problem is either down to poor training and conditioning, poor physio treatment and recovery, and poor decision making in risking players with existing injuries, Possibly all 3. We're well beyond just "bad luck" at this point. In addition Naismith strikes me as a long-running crock who was only too happy to sign a 4 year contract. How often has he been fit this past 12 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good head to have around the younger players coming through as well, he can do that while he's on crutches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
