The Watcher read with some interest & some trepidation that Bailey has escaped a ban after refusing to take a drugs test because he believed the water being offered to him by an anti doping official may have been contaminated. You couldn't make it up could you?

No game off cause of few injuries and jukes did not want to risk the half’s

Sensible precaution, put like that. Although I wonder how we are going to protect them through a long Championship season, and (hopefully) 'Middle 8's'?

Injuries could easily occur in the 2 friendlies anyway , So it doesn't make sense really. We just need to be ready for the first game and be match fit.

I think a couple of extra weeks training time to gel won’t do us any harm don’t forget it’s near enough a brand new squad loads of new faces in key positions

If ever there was a word to describe Drug takers , DOPING, then this term is aptly applied!!
Dopes,Mugs,Saddo's,Selfish, Cowards all good description's!
