I think that sums up scruffy Jim and his approach.

Leave the football to the people who KNOW and Jim will fix it

I think there may be another reason for the “injuries“ - reasons driven by the club hierarchy.
The league position is irrelevant to the rags now. They don’t want to finish in 7th place & get into the conference league.
They NEED to win the FA Cup in order to get into the Europa league - this is so necessary for them. Forget beating Arsenal- they don’t want to help us anyway - and ETH is a dead man walking so winning that game won’t save him.
They‘re saving everyone for the cup final.

I have heard similar.
It's most peculiar how their best players have all succumbed to injury at the same time?
And tben I heard the story that they have all gone for high altitude training somewhere
If true, this training will change the players' blood composition and increase their stamina.
A form of cheating or am I being unduly sceptical?

More conspiratorial than sceptical, I’d say.

The Dave Brailsford effect? Marginal gains.

It’s a bit late to improve their stamina and fitness with three games left. Can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear or polish a turd. They are shit footballers who are badly coached

Not at 8th in the table they won't

Yep, more likely to get the bends

Ahaha if they think the best way to beat a City side is by not having their best players play football for a month while half their first first team gets pumped by Palace then bring on the final.

Is that a typo, do you mean attitude sickness ?
