Someone's brother is without her tights tonight.

I wasn't just talking about the teenagers in the squad, and they aren't the ones getting injured every couple of games too. I have to question the coaches/doctors/treatment room as it's been going on for years now.

How's about just as a novelty, we sign a striker that scores goals? It's been a while.

Better fitness coaches, better squad... Other teams seem to manage. JDT's only been here for months, hopefully it'll get addressed but clearly some players can't play two games in a week and we must be averaging an injury per game. We could just be very unlucky.

The frustrating thing about it is he put in a shift against against Hull to grind out the result, and against Coventry he didn't seem to have any urgency about him for what was a big opportunity. A very lazy showing against a poor side. If he can't shine when playing against teams down the bottom of the league, suffering from illness and injury then he never will. If Gallagher had played in place of him against Coventry we'd have got something out of it. All it needed was someone to show some physicality and application. I'll be very disappointed if he starts again this season, I'd rather see Dolan up front.

I don't think the players are fit enough for two games a week. Also the players must know they don't have enough firepower at the moment, especially when we have our only centre forward out. It must be a kick in the ass to think, now we have to score two. Easier to play with confidence when you have decent strikers in the squad.

Some context required. We were talking about the Burnley game, how is he meant to bring his own strikers in before then? As for glued to the wing, that was in reference to the Coventry game.

We'd need three hands to count that our number of wins is higher than yours (you'd be fine), which with the disparity between the two squads is incredible. A constant injury list and thin squad since the season began will no doubt keep us inconsistent. It's heartening to know we're still in the automatics despite that.

I'm not sure it's even fair to expect promotion this season given what he inherited, not just a thin squad but arguably an unfit squad. Especially if the rumours are true he wanted another forward before the end of the transfer window.

There was no reference to loanees in the article, but if it was, a PL loanee wouldn't have come cheap.

Frustrating player for sure but before his injury didn't he score 3 goals in 4 games? Brereton is due a goal.

Seems to be a fetish of JDT for some reason.

We'll score fuck all if Tomasson has Vale and Hirst as his main strikers and Brereton glued to the wing.

There's no chance we're scoring 4 to counteract your quarter of an hour of added time 😉

13 minutes! They scored in the 100th minute. Ten out of ten for resilience and being the scabbiest bastards in the league. I once said on here that their luck will run out one day but I was so wrong. Barely any injuries, getting lucky breaks, matches lasting ten minutes longer than the average match, and have a decent kitty to dip into if things ever go badly.

Someone blew somebody.

13 minutes extra time. Is it a record?

Yep, there you go. We'll play till you score another goal lads alright. I promise I won't blow the whistle (nudge nudge wink wink). To be fair I'm not prophet, it was just obvious. They play till the final minute and their games last as long as they need them to.

Do their team look as knackered as ours at the start of the match when they had a match at the weekend? I think that's got a lot to do with it in this league as well as skill. Some of ours look knackered before a ball was kicked yesterday.

I think Brownhill is out for the Sheffield Utd game after his yellow.

Haha there you go. Lucky bastards. Time for a winner now, ref to add at least 8 minutes on.

Knowing Burnley's luck at the moment, they'll score two in the 96th and 99th minutes.

"We had opportunities, there were No.9s out there and the really interesting thing is that clubs are phoning us and asking if we want to take this player, Premier League clubs. “They have to fit into the way we play, why would we sign a Premier League centre forward if we don’t play with a centre forward at this moment, and he can’t do the running of a wide striker, doesn’t chase full backs, so we’d be playing with nine men rather than 10 out of possession? “Why when we’re doing so well at the moment would we throw that away and do something totally different? “We tried to recruit players to fit the system.” Mowbray f***ed up.

Other options but no decent centre forwards.

I'd love them to sign an attacking midfielder, a good striker, a better left back than Pickering and a right back to cover Brittain, or play Brittain further forward if required. Priority is a good Championship striker.
