Page is destined to be a crock I’m afraid. He’s turned into a better player than I thought he’d be but he’s just massively injury prone. If Taylor is out for any length of time we are knackered. Mid table mediocrity yet again.
the injuries are down to poor communication between the club and the players
Rubbish. Totally caused by protesting fans throwing stuff on the pitch. Plus I have it on good authority Chris Wilder turned us down as he strained a hamstring during the interview. That was the fans too.
Well the management team can take the blame for Page being out for so long they decided to play him with an injury.
Yes, even back then most of us feared the inevitable.
Going into the campaign with only 1 LB (with a poor fitness record) was a poor judgement call by Bowyer. Especially as he despite suggesting that Sarr could cover, he hasn't trusted him to play LB even when we had CB cover from elsewhere.

I suspect Bowyer was never going to be given enough money to cover every position that needed it and had to judge where best to spend. If we hadn't needed Cullen in to cover JFC I would imagine a left back would have been brought in.

He did choose to bring in Ward though.Yes Ward is a decent player, but to me less essential than another LB or LB/CB type player.

Bowyer still has to take some responsibility. Yes we lost JFC but had signed just 2 players at that time, we went on to sign another 4. I agree with others, Ward was the signing we could have just about gone without in favour of another defenders.
Yes Roland always leaves our squad short but Bowyer would have known this and so has to take a share of blame.

Just one clue if you really need it.
Rhymes with (s)prat.

Shame Taylor wasn't booked in the last game as he's only one off a suspension.
