According to Red Henry in the Sunderland v Charlton thread. He's usually correct. So I make it, we have 11 fit first teamers (not Academy) to start the season. Relegation beckons if we don't strengthen soon.
Is our treatment room big enough for all these long term injuries? this is getting beyond a joke. Pratley needs to come in for lt least 60 mins and we need to get people in pronto!
I might well have to not make too daring dares this season if we do go down. For example I won't go as far wearing a burka like I said previously in more recent seasons.
Clearly we are going to have to play a lot of kids before they are ready for regular first team action.They will make mistakes,but can we please give them every encouragement on the pitch,they are living their dream and playing for their club,they will run their legs off,and will need our support.
In my nearly 52 years following this club I can honestly say I have NEVER felt so discouraged and lacking any real interest in an upcoming season before a ball has been kicked. To think this is all down to ONE man and his bonkers ideas on how to run a football club. Why us? What as a club have we ever done to deserve such a fate?
As much as it is luck there is weight to pay to the fact this lot will be overworked or at least not resting sufficiently, it can be above coincidental when there's a constant string of injuries. (May well be horrible luck in a bad challenge during training, don't know the details).
But, battling top half of League One. Ffs.
I accept your comment about "overworked", but I don't think JFC can be overworked. We haven't kicked a ball in anger yet!
I agree with addick05 sentiments completely with my support being over 54 years a season ticket holder till we saw what a disaster Roland is. It’s just so sad where we are now. Could never envisage a time when I was almost apathetic about CAFC

I think everyone has asked that same question again and again and again.

To publish anything else beforehand is just a guess and speculation.
With our remaining squad the chances of us being so far upfield that we could even win a corner or attacking free-kick are remote.
At this rate we're going to struggle to compete in a 5-a-side league this season.
If it is a grade I or II sprain that doesn’t require surgery a month or two.
Hopefully it’s neither.
