Yep, would be a nightmare. Hopefully it’s not as bad as feared but wording is “ The Tractor Boys could be without their number one for the first half dozen games after he picked up a foot injury”. |  | |  |

Walton injured on 13:47 - Aug 1 with 7438 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | As i see it, something that gives us the upper hand on a lot of other squads is carrying on the momentum of last season. If we are missing Walton, Broady, Massimo and Clarke for numerous early games that is a big issue. |  |

....there's not really a lot of point having a dedicated ITFC reporting team on the local paper. Essentially all they are going to do are write match reports, which are widely available everywhere. The rest of the time is just going to be them trying to portray themselves as some sort of boys club that you really want to join in with cos they are such a laugh. |  |

Not kept anything quiet, CW was being assessed early this week. Amended, as I thought KMc said he was having a scan but not what he said.

....apparently if we do it's just panicking and loads of fans start crying if you even mention it. We'll be fine with what we've got, we came second in the 3rd Division last year after all. Remember, we're gonna attack this league. |  |

Going to be quite a shock for a few people I think when they realise that the squad isn't quite as good as they think it is. |  |

Got it. Was more curious as to the reach of Nixon and what contacts he has across the country. [Post edited 1 Aug 2023 14:09]

Have you had Plantar Fasciitis? it's very painful , especially early on. |  | |  |

Indeed. Looking likely to have Hladky, Donacien and Burgess starting our first game back in the Championship. I understand injuries can’t be helped and they deserve their chance, but it just doesn’t scream top-half / promotion chasing, to me. The gulf in quality from Championship to League One is a lot more than some people are expecting. That said, whatever will be, will be, it’s all part of the journey. [Post edited 1 Aug 2023 14:14]

Literally nobody is basing their confidence off 1 game against Exeter. I do think we need to strengthen (and we will), but there seems to be a lot of bed wetting about not being equipped for the Championship which is nonsense. |  | |  |
