Injuries are costing us dearly.

Unfortunately not taking our chances doesn't help. Had we taken chances in games against Villa, Birmingham City and today against United we'd have a least 4 extra points, maybe even 8 more.

I gather De Jong, Kolo and Balotelli will all be available next week either for europe or the weekend, we know Johnson is out long term but we'll have to cope and it's time for SWP to prove he's worth keeping in the squad. As for Milner, the treatment looked like hamstring injury and we'll have to wait and see how bad.

De Jong out today
Balotelli out today
Johnson out
Milner done his hamstring
Kolo took a knock hence why he was benched.

It really looks like all these injuries are coming at a crucial period of the season.

All we can do is pray Spuds lose a lot of games.

If we has Balotelli today we would of won the game with all The possesion we had!

The same Ballotelli that doesn't even start for you?
The same Johnson that doesn't start either?

1. Balotelli would almost always start for us if injuries/suspensions didn't keep interupting. 11 games, 8 goals - enough said really.

2. Johnson had been playing very regularly for us before his injury, more as a starter than he had before and even when not as an impact sub who regularly made a difference.
