Quote: Phuzzy "I don't think you can mate, at least not barring a miracle. Lomax's injury is not going to get better without surgery and is as likely to get worse as stay the same. Virtually no team goes into the back end of a season injury free so the question for you guys is where those injuries occur. The most likely candidate is Lomax, of course, but any injury in the backs could be fateful for you. Makinson is hobbling in many games this year so is that another long term problem? Welsby is an absolute must to stay fit in order for your season not to go completely off the rails, especially with your problems and potential problems in the halves.
The conversation regarding injuries we had early in the season is now proving to be an interesting one. With the same number of injuries that we're currently breezing through, your season is on the cusp of derailment. Interesting times.'"
Haha couple of bold calls there. To simply say I can't fancy us would be writing us off prematurely mate. And "cusp of derailment" is OTT too. Yes we are out of the cup and that hurts, but we are top of the league and favorites for the GF. So to fancy us isn't at all far fetched. I agree another key injury and we are in a mess. But if we go into the crunch games with a full pack and a 1-7 of Hopoate, Makinson, Hurrell, Percival, Grace, Lomax, Welsby then we have as good a chance as anyone. To suggest we would need a miracle to win it from here is a bit much. Bookes don't offer even money on miracles.
