I really hope not

So what happens is we start the same team again on Saturday, and again the Saturday after that, and Theo picks up a strain through fatigue or Agyei has a little setback from overuse during his recovery phase.

The current starting XI is good enough but can't keep working the same few players when they're in the red zone.

Cheshunto wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 11:57 am Saturday’s great performance may persuade Lingy and the board that the current strike force is good enough to sustain us until the summer. Agyei , Forde and Theo were excellent on Saturday but if one or two of them get injured then we are Fcuked and so we do need to bring one or two in, and includes a wide man.

Personally I think we do have enough to stay in this league, but while we have a chance of a play off spot I think we should give Richie everything he needs.

Shame someone isn't able to discern between losing one's sh*t and being slightly perturbed that Lingy appears to be dragging his feet yet again.

Yeah, if Lingy didn’t always “drag his feet” we’d clearly have done much better than just the 2 promotions in 5 years!! It’s obvious there’s something wrong here - livid!!!!
