I remember saying last season that we had been very lucky with lack of injuries for the Div 1 and Champ promotion campaigns.
From memory apart from the hamstring injury to Hirst last season, we had managed to avoid serious injuries and mainly avoided the multiple 2-3 week "niggle" injuries over the course of the 2 years, and I think that was a massive factor in our favour.
I was thinking a similar thing, a right back with an accident in the kitchen nearly loses his thumb. That’s where it started really and since then a constant stream of players getting injuries, I wonder if it’s less games but higher intensity causing the problem. With all those bought in through the window and having a strong squad we are getting down to bones now.
