[GBJ]

Does Jake take penalties?

I think it’s more anti-inflammatories at the moment

It is a special skill it seems these days, with all the subs are we far from the yank style egg chasing where that is the sole duty of some " players" or kickers.

Home to Torquay on the 3rd.

Away at Barnet on 10th.

Another scan on 11th

Hang on, this can't be correct surely? The swelling wouldn't have gone down enough...

Hamstrings! Crewe's midfielder Crocklet BBC report out for over 3 months with hamstring injury,.
Maybe he should have felt the tear twinge and stopped?

With a name like that I’m not surprised. Imagine if we’d signed him and he was injured, it would be full of crock by name, crock by nature posts on here

Especially if he was only small.

There's a load of cheaters on here @The Big Dady , including you.

I legitimately did choose 4 weeks but I've got no proof, thinking I should change my vote to not be roped in with the cheater crowd.

A 10k run would solve everything, according to a mate. End of.

I wouldn't, you don't want to be included with the sense of humour bypass group.

Only in the first 8 minutes of games

Ibuprofen all the way

I sound like a bit of a broken record but the fact is to gain a play off place teams need to score around 73 goals. We are currently not in the position to do that. !

What a terrible statistic.
You can win the league and accumulate 138 points in the process by scoring 46 goals…

Any news on when Hyde will be back?

I agree that goals scored is a key element of getting promoted (or into the play-offs).

And it is of "interest" that we have only scored two goals in 4 games but then we are only 4 games into the season. Having a very tight defence can still lead to a good points total & balance out fewer goals at the other end.

I'm not overly concerned at the moment (we have just signed another striker on loan for example) but I want to see the "goals for" tally rise in the next few games.

If only for the entertainment value I would rather have goals popping in regularly & from all parts of the team.

Our forwards have not converted enough, yet, but hopefully their commited style will come good. We really need to be looking around the rest of the team where, alas, we have too many players with little or no scoring history. Even our coaching crew struggled in the playing days. MB roughly 1 in 9 games, DC 1 in 10 and KM 1 in 20. I don't know who takes the training sessions with our strikers but a dedicated striker coach may be essential as apart from a few of our injured forwards our options are with young and inexperienced players that still need to learn more.

Looking around the team we can see raw talent that at this early stage shows promise and potential. This is not a league to be looking for the 1-0 win and I haven't seen any evidence that says we are. Chances are coming and I am sure we will take more of them. The question is can we take enough? For that we need to see goals from all areas of the team and not just the forwards.
