    Quick update.
    A mate of mine who was at the match today spoke to Fosu after the game and Fosu said it was just a niggle

    Only two months out then, great news.
    The person who told me this works in the museum. You know him.
    He is reliable so I'm confident Fosu is ok.
    Our Irish friend?

    just gets better really dont it ? so he will be "rested" to see the extent of the injury and therefore wont be fit enough (even if the injury is slight) to start the season.

    They were promoted to the National along with Salford last season (they got up through the playoffs) .. another little northern club that's well organised, punches above its weight and has a little bit of cash behind it .. report says that Bradford put out a very young team .. even so, that's just bad for morale at any club

    Could be the harder pitch! But as someone just said Crawley players arnt getting injured! Also does anyone know why Crawley are not using the Broadfield stadium this pre-season?

    It's good to see us bringing in players with a bit of experience in the English game. I had visions of us scouring the Austrian 3rd division this summer! Would like to see another keeper come in as back up for Phillips.

    Crawley still working on pitch renovations at Broadfield Stadium.

    Not too much to say. We didn't create a lot in either half really . Crawley had a lot more of the ball but didn't do much with it either . Two poor teams it looked like to me . Kag looked lively but his decision making is so poor. Aribo best player on the pitch by a mile. We really need to keep him. Phillips made a great save from the penalty. Other than that, and it being a new ground for me. Not much else to report

    Dont bode well for the season seeing as Crawley had 2 trialists in 1st half and 5 other trialists in 2nd, should have beaten them by more than that and more convincingly

    History just repeats itself with us - no squad depth, injuries to key players that always end up worse than feared. The whole club is a complete shambles. I really feel for Bowyer. It could be a case of right man at the wrong time!

    Bowyer was right to say what he did about Fosu's hamstring. It is clear proof that our medical side is not up to it. Not a surprise given the cost cutting of the Belgian miser, but it is beyond ridiculous.

    Maybe it's the medical team, maybe it's bad luck or maybe it's an inherent weaknesses in his body?
