What I have noticed in the past couple of weeks is the number of players who have come off the injured list at St James'. Dyer and Shearer are long term absentees and Marcellino is a mystery but apart from that who is carrying an injury that would see them ruled out of a game. (You could say no-one the way our physios get players back in the team)

Dimas and Caldwell played for the U19's last night versus the Mackems, so is the returning fitness forcing them down into the respective age groups to get a game? Looks like it.

No excuses now lads. We've been blaming injuries all season and whilst losing Shearer and Dyer is a big blow we should be able to compensate.

True, but if we could pick two players NOT to be injured it would probably be Shearer and Dyer.
