Alex Tettey has been a big miss, off the top of my head he has

played in most of our better performances. He played at Derby, Cardiff and Brentford 3 games that spring to mind.

IMO Ryan Bennett can go onto be a very very good centre half, I see him as a potential NCFC captain so again I think we have missed him.

I also agree with some of the comments below, football now is very much a squad game, we have a very big squad and therefore we should be able to accomodate injuries. The SJ Howson suspension has hurt us badly as well especially as he didn't deserve to be sent off.

Not a dig but I wouldn't have Bassong anywhere near the 1st team, I would certainly looking to offload him.

Maybe next season will be kinder to us for injuries?
