See, this is what happens when threads do not have all the relevant information. Poor Renton turned up 10 days early!

It is the principle of sharinf the information and what is says. It is not that I need to be told when the match is, it is far easier to gather in other places even if I had forgotten. Anyone can start a match thread, most people are able to come up with a funny title as well. I just see that little bit extra detail as proof that the person is taking the role seriously.

See, this is the level of detail I expect from the people starting the match threads. It may be information that I already know, but I want to be sure that the person who is stepping up to the plate to start a match thread has thoroughly done their research. I feel that it stops want to be heroes and pretenders starting them haha.

There are other little gems about thread starting that makes a difference @Holden McGroinalways put the date and time of the match in the title as well.

I get where you are coming from, but I do still think they are unlucky. Barnes not here long enough for that to be down to intensity of training (similar to Isak's first injury) Burn landed awkwardly, Murphy was unlucky first time and an understandable risk the second time. When it comes to Botman- he lasted a full season before an injury like this same with Miggy etc. Wilson has always been prone to problems. The cards, I believe, are down to our style of play as the ones we have got in the Champions League have been different. With Murphy, Burn, Tonali in the squad, we would probably expect a similar size list to be injured given our schedule and the general dangers of the sport on the human body. Also, having more players available leads to better rotation and fewer injuries.

We played our 3rd choice left back (Burn and Targett) our second choice CB (Botman) our 3rd choice CM (Bruno and Tonali) 3rd choice LW (Gordon and Barnes) ended up with our 3rd choice RW (Miggy and Murphy). No recognised striker (Wilson and Isak). There should be no complaints about Lascelles (he has been great) no matter what we think of him as he is next in line to start and you have to expect him to have some game time. When it comes to the rest, Hall is one for the future, as is Miley, Ritchie is one from the past, Joelinton was played out of position and is still not too long back from injury, Willock is not too long back from his injury. Tino had a bad injury last season. In the past when we have be 'ravaged' by injuries, we have been just been waiting for ASM and Wilson. With this list of injuries, you have to look at training and question the coaching element and what the manager is playing at. When you do this, you can see that most have happened in games and not due to the training techniques. We can say that we have been unlucky and just have to work our way through. Bruno and Isak are due back in our next game.

It is tough to watch when we don't do well but common sense tells you we are up against it when we are playing Gordon up front, starting a 17 year old in the middle, a 19 year old at left back and bringing on a kid to replace the 17 year old. Bringing on Ritchie who probably shouldn't have still been here before the take over. Every fan base has people who need to stop and process information at times. Trippier should have ignored him, but these people are often hard to ignore.

I wonder if this would be a good idea. 15 mins here and there at the end of games at a higher level than he is currently playing.

Typical Mag behaviour again! What part of, we pay some teams to win the games, do you not get? It is part of the evil Saudi plan. Proof is there, Gordon's clear pen was not given. There was also the moment where Pope *didn't* handle the balm outside the box and the refs didn't even send him off.

Hats off to Willock as he has had to do so much since his injury. I have no idea how Gordon has played as much as he has. Joelinton has done well considering he had an injury not long ago and had to play nonstop since it. Feels so unlucky that we have been hit as hard as we have with injuries.

That was a disappointingly fair result.

I don't blame our regular players for this. We are a LB down, no striker, winger down, cm down. The rest cannot make up for the amount of key missing parts that we have.

Would we take another 3 goals in as long as there are no more injuries?

This is so frustrating but I do not know what more we could expect. We are beyond the bare bones.

That is a goal. No need for VAR

This is just a piss take

Good job that Pope is having a great game.

I said that it should have been you to start the thread. I'm blaming Gloom for Wilson's hamstring. Not accepting any of the long list of his previous injury record as a factor.

Who is Tino on for?

Could be another great weekend.

Between him at 17, Hall at 19 and Tino/ Anderson both at 21, it is very exciting.

I know he was hardly on the pitch, but he doesn't look out of place.

Have we won a game without Bruno in the line up since we have signed him? Not sure of that statistic has happened yet.

I am obviously not on the uptake. It was started ages ago. I am obviously not the quickest of people haha.

I know this is controversial, and I know I have not posted enough to rock the boat, however, can we break the tradition once and get @Holden McGroin to start the next game thread? I have a really good feeling that it could work. I genuinely believe in him. He has been extremely lucky. No red for Bruno, a win at Man U with the most dubious line up for as long as I can remember.
