Knock for Oates, manhandled to the ground. Knock for Clarke, rated 50/50

[Cleveland_Stag]

What on earth is wrong with this team I like Clarke but he can’t go 5 games without picking up a knock can he. Although that applies to most of this squad doesn’t it. Every midfield knock, injury and setback we pick up just makes Quinn’s moment of madness even more sickening. What an idiot he is.

It’s probable that we’ll never get to a point this season where we have most of our squad available. We pick up two or three new injuries/knocks every game we play. We’re probably not quite good enough to win the playoffs, but the squads also far too injury prone to be confident that we’ll make the playoffs, never mind win them.

[Cleveland_Stag]

If Clarke doesn’t play tomorrow, we might be looking at a midfield 3 of Boateng, Wallace and Law. Good grief.

Is our squad made out of Dairylea cheese?

It is very fragile and I don't think even you or I can criticise Clough for the shortfall in central midfielders! Can it all just be bad luck?

I'd say Emmental judging by the amount of holes in it.

[Amber Andy]

Maybe playing a day later than originally planned will make the difference in Clarke starting or not.

[Marky Mark]

[ParisStag]

They'll have to play through the pain, surely.

[The One]

Wait for team, .Nigel Bluff

[MTFCMusings]

Yeah, as others have said I’m pretty sure Clarke will play. I don’t think Oates will start but I could be wrong.

[lancer]

Thing is with Nigel, quite rightly, he tries not to give too much away. This keeps the opposition guessing.
I think Clarke, Oates and maybe even Macca will start tomorrow.

I think Macca is done for a few more weeks personally

I don’t think Oates is going to ever be any use to the club
Terribly injury prone
Too lightweight
Onwards and upwards
Law might be ok for a game if 2 at least he is fit

Have you just erased Oates goals from last season? He was one of my players of the season

So Oates is too lighweight but Law isn't....?

Guffaw.
