You cant help but feel for Keith hill , I've followed the tarn for over 30yrs and never have seen an injury list like it. He deserves great credit for the way he has conducted himself since his arrival and it's remarkable how his team have performed with so many casualties .however I think now would be a good time to bring in a couple , maybe a forward and a defender on a months loan until the injurys ease....

I'll second those comments Lunny, last time I saw an injury list that long, was after the battle of Orgreave..
I think Cameron Parks loan is up soon, perhaps bring some one in to keep squad numbers up, some Premier League 19/20 year old as I doubt we'd find owt decent from Football League clubs.
Got to keep Drinkwater, can we have him on the cheap Sir Alex
Get shut of Addison, as we arent playing him, waste of wages although with the amount of injured defenders he's probably now 1st reserve centre half.
What can I say about Vaz Te, I'm struck dumb..
Should be the usual entertaining game with Burnley tomorrow, expect Edwards and Wiseman to start in defence, with Davies starting instead of Vaz Te.

Derby are paying Addison's wage (part of the Shack's deal) but yeah send him back, not a quarter of the player he was before his injury a couple of years back.
We must try to extend Drinkwater's loan for the rest of the season. Can't see Sir Laughalot selling him, even if he did, it would be beyond our budget. Hill's already shown he's pretty shrewd in the market, I'm sure he's got his ideas of players we've never heard of.

And as soon as Sparty mentions it a few sites start reporting rumours that we are looking at two players from Hamilton Academical (Ziggy Gordon- Defender and Stephen Hendrie- Left Back).
Probably just paper talk but two Scottish youngsters that have been called up to the youth international side could be a good addition.

We need a striker in id say. Davies has struggled so far and Gray runs about but thats about it. Were far 2 reliant on butterfield to do something (just like we were with hammill last season) Wish we could get hammill back on loan as he's hardly kicked a ball all season but started for them other day. Cant see us getting owt tonight with team he will have to put out even tho Burnley are in poor form. Odds on Trippier to score anyone???
