With two way games in the next few days we need as strong a squad as possible to cope with this, I'm hoping that Reggie Young will be available to play some part in these games.
It would also be a huge positive if Andy Carroll was declared fit after weeks on the treatment table.

Can't we get him back from there as players don't normally go on holiday during the season?

I don’t want to ruin expectations but can you really see Carroll playing a competitive game for us? I’m not holding my breath!
Any player who seriously wants to play wouldn’t be taking a vacation during the season when he could be working on his fitness while protecting the affected injury.

Hotels do tend to have gyms, especially the sort of hotel he can afford.

From what I've heard he isn't even back on the grass yet. So he'll be doing gym and balance work, and perhaps straight line running.

Be a miracle if he plays 5 games this season.

Andy Carroll is at Weston Super Mare watching game today.

Hopefully he can call the other owners tonight then and sack this useless manager

From the start of pre-season there were worrying signs and despite Mr Bradbury talking himself and his team up it has become blatantly obvious that he has not got a bloody clue! This season is looking beyond us already but there is an outside chance of the playoffs but the club have to act now!
Sack him because he’s making Lewis Young look almost average,
