Its good to see Lucas Ness on the bench, was beginning to think he was a myth 

Going to be a monster of a player.

Provided he doesnt go missing in games too often

What happened to Ryan Innis ? Surely after nearly 3 and a half months off he must be close to being fit ?

The forecast was 3 months, but these are Charlton/Innis months which are longer than the usual ones

Our "injury weeks/months" are the footballing equivalent of "dog years".

One Charlton injury week = Seven weeks (minimum) in the real world.

Are we criticising the medical staff? Seems pretty unlikely that we know more about injuries, and how long it takes to get over them, than they do. It may feel like that sometimes, but I think our injury problems are more to do with recruitment and back luck, more than incompetence. 

I wasn't having a pop at anyone, just bemoaning the small matter of our injuries always seeming to last longer than the original prognosis.

Heaven help that we may try to make light of our misfortune. Crikey, gallows humour is about the only thing that's got me through the last 40+ years watching Charlton!
