Senior players really need to step up.

Saying it again also, need a proper leader.

One last thing I will mention too,and I'll probably get slated for this, so much criticism on here for a few months regarding Randell and injury problems. Is Kirmo immune to all of this, because how many games has he missed, and over a much longer period. Went off again today. All this too, bearing in mind back in 2013, we were building a team around him. Yes, he's been a good servant, but how can you be when your constantly on the treatment table.

Pick kirmond, you're going with 16. He's finished end of.

Kirmo is one of the very few who I'll give some leeway with. He has been a fantastic servant for the club and consistently puts his hand up to play even though he's obviously injured. I'm not sure he's got much longer left playing at this level, but he deserves some leeway

No he doesn't it's a business not a charity.

Tell you who is finished, Anthony England.

It is a business, and it's not just missing games.

Wonder how much has been spent on medical bills, on the same player.

Chester out ?

So what makes us so special that we can't be dragged down into a relegation battle? At the start of the season we mostly agreed that we had the best squad for ages and after a terrible start at London (regular graveyard for us)started to climb the table to, i think 3rd,with Broughy and Kopy being generally thought of as good recruits,then bang, injuries started.During over 50 yrs of watching i've never seen a season that gets anywhere near close to the injury situation that we are encountering and nearly all long term.Sure,that's why you have a strong squad, but with so many back-up players coming in,it's inevitable the team will be weakened and it's no wonder the form and confidence falls off eventually; even the stand in's such as Arundel and Jowett have suffered bad injuries.It's obvious how bad things are when some players are coming back before fully fit to make up the numbers.We need to keep getting behind the lads and hopefully things will improve when we get some fit bodies back.

Too many water carriers kirmo ,randall and England can go for me

looks like we can all go to div 1 next year if this keeps up - where is our next win coming from,i think we need 2 to stay up

We?

Agree with this Kirmond coming off totally screws our rotation up. Someone had a go at Pauli but he’s an impact player but ended up doing 60 plus in one stint which is not the way you play him. Kirmond getting injured in games consistently has a massive knock on effect for the team. He’s been a fantastic servant to club but the team and club come first.

I’m sick to death of this he’s done big minutes or not had a rest or he’s fatigued after 10 mins, Chester should be saying dig deep run your balls off for the full game we’re struggling and need you it’s a culture that needs changing, the game lasts 80 mins and far too often players and not just ours are looking to come off after the 20 minute stint it’s pathetic. Get them fitter or the players need to sort themselves out

Think there is a few disagreeing with you on yesterday. He’s not a 80 minute player and should be used and spelled in the right way. The game has changed in regards to subs this season and perhaps we should have taken this into consideration when extending his contract. But this isn’t Pauli’s fault. Too many times other players are picking up injuries and it’s messing up our rotation.

Depends though as to when the rule changes were announced to the club and players.

If this was announced before the pre season, then you would have thought that the message would have been sent to the players, and especially forwards, that reduced interchanges meant that stamina needs to improve.

Then Pauli rocks up to pre season, looking bigger, and the rumour on here was that he came back 2 stone heavier. Who's fault is that
