Oh dear. A few more injuries has exposed the lack of depth in my squad.

This lunchtime I played through four games. Three of them were league games, all three were defeats. But at least the win in the other game means I’m now through to the quarter finals of the LDV Vans Throphy…

One problem is fitness. I’ve been neglecting the fitness training, so now a lot of players don’t recover to top condition between matches. But training fitness any harder leans to more injuries.

I’ve got my two first choice central defenders out, Kuffour’s still out, Bedeau was out for the matches I played this lunchtime but is okay now and we’ve got a few others out, too.

Hopefully Bedeau coming back will help. He was a great asset in midfield and we’ve really felt his loss. At least, I hope the loss of Bedeau was the problem. If not, we’re stuck.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the PSP has seen that I’m better in attack than defence and has reacted accordingly. Though maybe that’s paranoia. But it does seem that I’m facing more teams coming out to smack me down in the first half before locking up tight in the second.
