The War That Is A Relegation Battle

[coolie]

After talking at length with individuals yesterday a few niggles came to light which I'll explain here for those fans who feel they are left in the dark regarding player info. 

Whether we like it or not we are in a battle to survive the drop, every opportunity for an opposition club to gain an advantage has to be closed, giving a team an insight to who's injured, who is struggling with non fitness issues, anything that can weaken our position has to be closed, you don't hear Zelenskyy disclosing where he's moving tank's, sending infantry,acurate info on wounded, and fatalities... Yes the 2 comparisons are a million miles apart, but fans have to realise we're fighting against going down.. Do you really want go down to the graveyard of championship 1??? 

Let's from now on think savvy, not expect the club to disclose anything about players injured... It's common sense, if the club put out "beharrell will be back next week" Barrow will target him as he'll be returning from a fracture, so let's give the team a fighting chance, Lee will pick them when fit, keeping a news blackout on injuries only helps in the long run and hopefully we can spring a surprise to an opponent who's planning for one team only for a surprise addition to give us an advantage

So let's just stop asking and criticism directed club for simply not leaking news... We're at war so get your tin hat on... And dig in and we can sort this together, and stand together

We was given hope & optimism yesterday let's build on that performance

Lee mentioned last year those reasons you have given. He doesn’t want to give the opposition an inkling as to which team member is fit or suffering an injury or ailment. 
Surely though, he could quietly tell us on here as we wouldn’t say anything, or tell anyone would we and our opponents wouldn’t be any the wiser?

And we wouldn't say anything either, promise we won't tell Fordy.

Good luck to any opposition coach using this Forum as a source of reliable information...

I agree to only post baseless speculation from now on

Thinking about it does this mean LG won't announce any new signings in case the opposition find out about them...?

It's more injured player news 

That's what seems to be grating with some supporter's

What’s grating me and quite a few supporters is whether Ferguson, Annakin and Walton have packed in? Bearing in mind that these players are being sponsored by fans of the club.

Think it's more "how long is a piece of string" for these players 

No time frame on a return due to individual issues, until they are announced as left we've just to accept they are under "indefinate injury" and will be back when they are back, with the chronic injury list we've had this season.. A lot of fans who have sponsored players are in the same boat unfortunately, I suppose that's the risk you take with sponsorship.

As far as I know Walton is on a pay as you play contract,I’d say Ferguson and Annakin will be getting something,and this is my issue.
