The injury thing is interesting. Players can get injured when they're not fit enough.
ie. Not fit enough for a season in the Championship. We had a good dollop that didn't seem to be.
McKenna. Sow. Luke. Lolley. Grabban (hip, that's probably along with the calfs been an issue for some time). Colback off the back of a bad injury and not playing for a year.
That doesn't sound like it adds up to a good start to a season. And so it proved.
The one thing I did hear form a Hughton interview was that he'd upped the volume of training. (Effectively engaging an on the fly pre-season during his arrival to get the lads fit by the sounds of it. An incisive January 'emergency' window to shore things up further. We're certainly more competitive now. And games are tighter.)
In short, I want to see what a Hughton pre-season looks like. Along with that Gary and Chris recruitment this Summer.
This season is about damage limitation.
