Going back to the thread a bit further down

I also can't ever remember us having so many injuries pre-season as we have this year. The club and players do always make a point of mentioning that our pre-season fitness training is much harder than at most other clubs. Could there be a link?

At the moment all the good work down by Grant in ensuring he got players in early so they could play together in the friendlies and go on tour is looking like being undone by the fact that Brellier has hardly played, Hucks hasn't played at all and smith now looks like being injured for a while.

I guess that Grant will want to put out his full strength team for West Ham and Arnham so those are the important friendlies but I am a little worried that we will go into the first game with the first team not having played together!
