Hang on... Toto’s got an injury, but he mentions we’re down to two CB’s from four. Who’s the other one?

Yes I thought it was lacking in detail. No idea

[Bluemike]

Nothing in it more than likely

I personally think we need a couple of additions in January, with Norwood crocked too we are going to struggle.. What about the new Dutch lad coming in, any thoughts?

[Bluemike]

Don't know a thing about him Dazz but clearly Lambert thinks something of him after his trial, big lad and can play anywhere across the back Four, sounds good.

PL always maintained Donacian was a centre back ? can also play there.

The squad is certainly going to be tested. This time of year previously is when some of the other bigger teams started to slip after a bright start. eg Sunderland, Pompy.

It doesn’t matter how good a team you are, you still need to be lucky with not picking up too many injuries to key players. It just feels like we are one injury to a key player away from having a tough period.

[hallamblue]

If we can’t push on and cope with whatever injuries we have, with the squad we have, then there’s something wrong at ITFC. Clubs with far less resources and squad depth that we have seem to manage the demands of this league, so why can’t we?

Totally agree with Hallam. We are supposed to have a large squad with more than average quality so if we have no worse luck than the other teams there shouldn't be a problem. As long as the squad is all fresh and has a chance to play competitively on a regular basis of course. That's why the rotation is potentially so important. The problems would come if the players coming in are not up to speed.

Let's hope we have another victory tonight in the FA Cup so that we keep those high intensity practice games coming.......

[Bluemike]

There is no indication we aren't coping with the injuries i have no idea what all the fuss is about tbh. We have had dozens of them and are still where we are.

Sears, Lankester, Bishop, Huws, Skuse, Morris, Folami, Norwood, Nsiala, Chambers, KVY, Roberts, Keane

That's 13 right there, a whole team, so we are coping with excessive injuries and coping well, I'm sure there's even more.

[Steve and Jo]

Can think of 21 teams in this league wishing they were we are right now

Still only December but i'll take where we are now with one game to go

[Dazzz67]

Just wanted to ask what is the latest on the injury list? Are Bishop and Lankester dues back anytime soon?

[Bluemike]

From snippets I have read I am not sure we will see Lankester this season, could be wrong but doubt it, Bishop the last I read was he is getting there (whatever that means & how many times have we heard that !!)
