first time round....
well there we go. an example of exactly why we should just go out and do the job properly first time round.
we put our players through an unecessary game, which we didnt play very well in, and now have two more injuries to contend with.
the dawson one was pure bad luck, and hopefully wont be too big a loss as he is not first choice anyway.
however, i am afraid that i am going to have to have a moan at Harry regarding the lennon one.......
Aaron Lennon is a player who cannot be rushed back from injury. He has been at us for years and years, and we still dont seem to understand his physical condition. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT YOU HAVE TO NURSE LENNON BACK VERY CAREFULLY WHEN HE COMES BACK AS HE IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO REOCCURENCE INJURIES. You cannot have him playing two game so close together when he has only just returned to fitness
so what does Harry do? Lennon comes back after a layout v man u, and then three days later, harry plays him again... it was so obvious that he was going to get injured. face it, none of us were surprised.
it is not as if we had no options. we had other midfielders on the bench. Gio, Livermore, both of whom could have done a job last night.... it was Stevenage, not Barcelona.
Now we are without probably our second most dangerous player AGAIN, as he has been mismanaged back to fitness by our staff.
The thing is, some of you may think its unfair for me to have a go like this, but its not... it would be if this was the first time this has happened, but this happens with lennon over and over and over again.
The cost of not getting the job done..

Spurcat,
Seems to me, you're trying to be clever after the event....
==================
Well spotted.
This is what makes me laugh. I have had many a debate on here whereby certain posters feel we should have rested/rotated players like Bale, Parker, Modders & co. But when you actually ask in what games we should have rested 1, or all, of these - you get no response.
Nobody can foresee a hamstring pull. Your hamstring can feel 100% perfect before a game & before you know it...PING .
As Spurcat says, hindsight is obviously a wonderful thing, but lets not start blaming Harry for Mother Nature's input.
As for it being a cold night, football is played throughtout the winter months so what should we do, rest all our stars from say October to April (maybe even include May, just to be safe) just to stop them getting injured? Seriously, lets just take the rough with the smooth just like all clubs do with all their players - and stop blaming Harry for things that are out of his control, like the cold weather for instance.

firstly it was me who said hindsight is a wonderful thing.
and secondly i qualified my reason for selecting lennon in that i didnt think bale would be fit.. but felt it necessary to have at least one wing man or run the risk of being unable to break them down - thus the risk of playing lennon so soon after the united game was worth taking.
you will notice that my line up didnt feature bale...
bale being fit, made the decision to then risk lennon baffling..

Lidl are good for pizzas too. E-Fredo's (or something like that), 2 for £2.99. Absolute bargain. Perfect for when you come in half cut ..with the munchies - pop them in the oven for 12 mins & vwala............

Always the danger.
And speedboat players do seem to need a more measured comeback.
Didn't see the game : how was VDV fitness wise ??
