So what makes us so special that we can't be dragged down into a relegation battle? At the start of the season we mostly agreed that we had the best squad for ages and after a terrible start at London (regular graveyard for us)started to climb the table to, i think 3rd,with Broughy and Kopy being generally thought of as good recruits,then bang, injuries started.During over 50 yrs of watching i've never seen a season that gets anywhere near close to the injury situation that we are encountering and nearly all long term.Sure,that's why you have a strong squad, but with so many back-up players coming in,it's inevitable the team will be weakened and it's no wonder the form and confidence falls off eventually; even the stand in's such as Arundel and Jowett have suffered bad injuries.It's obvious how bad things are when some players are coming back before fully fit to make up the numbers.We need to keep getting behind the lads and hopefully things will improve when we get some fit bodies back.
