Matt Davis is out for the season with ACL damage, Ben Pointer following injury playing for Scholars out for up to a month. Worst of all Willie Barthau out for potentially a month following ankle injury suffered in training.
Better news is that Jamie Thackary will turn out for Scholars this weekend. Might make Blackpool after all.

Did you not see my post regarding this?! :/

Will the new guy be looking for a run in the halves?

Its a funny one this. We have had Eliab here as the first choice 6 for months now and he hasnt had a sniff / got fit. Api turns up and is possibly in line for a start. What does that tell us ?

I dont really think the Bussey at 6 option has worked, we've got by because of the creativity of Barthau.

For me Leatherbarrow and if Api is fully fit, give him a go, if not Cunningham.

Regardless, we need the pack to dominate.

Walker and Magrin to miss out.

Api looking a good lad by all accounts.

Eliab was anonymous at skolars last week

Better today by all accounts

Useless..Your squad is binding with Api.

Both were pretty good in probably the best Skolars performance I've seen, especially the first half - although some of Jamie's offloads were optimistic at best (the ones that came off were good though), which ultimately resulted in a yellow card for persisting with questioning a forward pass decision. Brightly Izzy's running was strong, and he closed down play fast and strongly - finally showing some of what we all believe he's got in the locker.

Matt Davis has his operation tomorrow, hope it all goes well for him.

Chatted with willy b on Sunday said he just went over on it in training bit of an issue with the plastic pitch. He took the support boot off his ankle looked pretty bruised.

Any idea on when he'll be back on the field?

Willie Barthau had surgery yesterday on his ankle. Came through OK. Out for 12 weeks, so possibly back before end of season if it all works out.

Real shame for Barthau, hope he can get back before end of season

Stapleton and Davis gone for the season.

Barthau practically the season.

Offset by return of Thackeray and soonish Keyes.

Squad is getting stretched, hopefully no more major injuries.

Hope Eliab can step up to the table.
