Bring back Smith and Moore!

Anyone think this could be because AP isn't around anymore and they're not as well conditioned or just pure bad luck?

it's just bad luck.

Broken bones like longy and roby are just part and parcel of the game.

Can't do anything about mumps either.

Isn't Matty smith injured too?

Throw the towel in You have some good young players who will get a chance to shine and a chance for the team to dig ind show some spirit.

100% pure bad luck, AP didnt increase the bone strength I think.

It's the sweet potatoes. He had the sweetest of them all.

Tarot root, I went from 7" to 8.2"

Was that you left or right ear?

Do you think it helped them last week against Wire? Had we ran that penalty and scored against Wakey, would it have helped them then?

Young players don't have to win every match to improve. They were still playing in a team packed with internationals like Wellens/Gidley/Meli/Pryce/Graham/Roby/Wilkin.

It rained, we struggled without halves, and we lost due to goalkicking. It will have done the young lads no harm whatsoever.

Actually, I think the club could do something about mumps. Most people Eastmond's age were given the MMR vaccine to protect against mumps. The association of that vaccine with autistic spectrum conditions(shown to have been erroneous) has reduced take-up and allowed both mumps and measles to spread in the population. Given that Long had mumps a couple of seasons ago, perhaps the club should make sure that all young players have been vaccinated before they start to play regularly in the first team.
