Nightmare situation, really. 8 injuries would be a crisis for any club and with a squad as small as ours we really are down to bare bones.
Injuries happen, and with long, packed seasons of playing more and more games for club and country, the risk to players is only increasing.
The club does what it can to allow players to rest but probably needs to look at bolstering the squad more, both through using youth players more and through buying a couple of more senioe players. We've got quite a lot of players who are great playing every 7-10 days but whose bodies simply can't withstand playing twice a week for months on end.
We can't buy or promote enough players to make 8 injuries not a problem but we've got to try to make it a little bit less of a disaster.
