Calf injury.

 

[sufc_dave]

Thats the crux of it.

Its a terrible start to the season whatever the reasons and need to get Harris/Eastwood back asap and need a positive reaction on Saturday.

Freddy should be fit for Saturday, and I think our attack will look much better with him in the squad

We are now the only team without a point.:sad:

 

[fredheim_holm]

I'm still predicting us for promotion.

 

[GregStarz]

I'm not saying anything

 

[overseas shrimper]

What concerns me at the moment is our inability to score. Early days, but something needs sorting.

I'm certainly not.

CP says he could be 2 weeks away from fitness. God knows when Barry Corr will be fit!

Really hope so but think its too soon....

 

[LennySUFC]

Freddy Harris and bbbc will come back and we will walk the league!

People really need a reality check. it's the second league game. First game the ref mugged us off and their keeper was on form massively. We had 4 or 5 good chances and the keeper pulled off top drawer saves.

Tonight Timlin was very harshly sent off by another bad refereeing decision. Going down to 10 men means a hell of a lot of chasing and hassling ot try and get the ball. This leaves gaps and will give the opposition chances to score. Gavin Tomlin ran himself ragged trying to close the ball down.

If it was a week before the end of the season and we were bottom, then is the time to be moaning. What we need to be doing now is getting behind the team. There should be no blame apportioned or moaning because we haven't got a point yet.

Agree with what you say, but what on earth did the ref do on Saturday ?

We were undone by our own finishing in that one.

 

[Shrimper95]

I wonder how many posters on this forum are going to say were going to get relegated now. Probably more than half.

Not too much wrong with our finishing Saturday, apart from Kane's efforts. Great goalkeeping. The ref made a hatful of terrible decisions on Saturday

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Sack Luggy now Ron. Get Paul Ince in with Steve Wignall as director of football.

Tomlin missed two sitters, the effort at the end was woeful.

Dont really remember the ref making any decisions that affected the game to be honest.

We won't get relegated, but we are certainly not getting promotion.

I just hope the last four games haven't dented moral around the squad, they aren't far off being able to get some points on the board, think Sturrock just needs to find his best side and we get a bit of luck maybe. Two wingers would be useful.
