What a stupid question.

Of course i'm not pleased, i'm pleased if any single player misses any single match through injury, i'm not pleased that hudson has missed 10 sl matches out of of 23 either but as we support a sport where injuries are common place its to be expected that players get injured and when players get injured they miss matches.

On this thread your saying we would have been better off with sean long a player with a much worse injury record, would you be more pleased with long out injured at cas than shifty out injured at cas?

for the record i was just putting my pennith in and i would not have been happy with SL but feel he is a better player than BS...Cas always manage to sign expensive players who spend most of their time in the treatment room.

this is all relative as shifty will be here next season.

Seriously? Can you back up that claim? Does this not happen at other clubs?

Wow, 4 players, we truly do have a reputation for signing players that get injured, sack the BoD. We are no better or no worse than other clubs.

What about all the players we have signed and have been relatively injury free? Care to compile a list of those?

Was on crutches when we signed him, but had a good season, I seem to recall

unfortunate with injuries, true

Was there a good signing in that 2004 squad? And let's be fair: who of us can predict a season-ending shoulder injury?

We tend to sign players who are overrated, Sherwin is one of them. Add his injury prone ways then, i'd get rid today. He is too inconsistent with his play for me, he will either win the game for us or lose it.

Best at what exactly? Kicking straight into touch-yes, kicking the ball dead in goal-yes oh, and throwing the intercept pass-joint best with Goldy
