He,s very similar to Lance but playing at full back, if we sign Burns then Lance can play full back if needed or at hooker to spell Roby and lastly at half back in an emergency.
I hope I,m wrong but I get the impression that Lomax could be on the way to a "Wheeler Scenario" with injuries.

Bit harsh on Lomax that. Comparing him to Wheeler is way off the mark. 114 games in 5 years for Lomax, 53 in 7 years for Wheeler.

I can see why you say that. I think for me to agree 100% on this, is the end of next season lets see what he does.

I,m not really comparing him in that manner, its just an awareness in that the club appears to be not that good in conditioning players the right way especially after injury.
Amor is an example he,s come back after injury and is struggling for fitness and form, is it because his conditioning is not right, if so then there is the risk of further injury in trying to get back to his original level.
Back to Lomax, I seem to remember a couple of occasions we,ve brought him back too early only to suffer from injury again, we,ve done the same with Walsh with calf, wrist and elbow injuries.
Lots of clubs seem to have a shorter recuperation time, we seem to have 5 years of an injury jinx, is it self inflicted.

We certainly have had a ridiculous amount of injuries over the last few years. Why that is I don't know though.
